Rating of new crossovers up to 1 million rubles in 2021

If in 2020 only a few Chinese SUVs were included in a similar rating, now, in 2021, thanks to inflationary processes, most of the European, Korean, Japanese crossovers from this list received seven-digit price tags. So, in the current top 10, the best crossovers up to 1 million rubles are represented mainly by cars from the Middle Kingdom. Good or bad, but we all have to come to terms with this - the budget segment has become cramped as never before. And it is obvious that the situation will only get worse in the future. You see, in a couple of years, the capital of 1 million rubles, accumulated for the purchase of a new car, runs the risk of remaining unclaimed.

But enough about the sad things, there is still plenty to choose from, because the presented top 10 crossovers up to a million rubles is far from a complete list.

Chery tiggo 4

Perhaps this is the most popular Chinese compact crossover in our country, especially since for a million rubles you can buy a new car of the 2019 model year. Despite its modest dimensions, the SUV looks solid. A lot of elements appeared at the front that make the car recognizable - these are the headlights of a complex configuration, and a lot of chrome, designed to emphasize the premium quality of the model.

The interior of the Tiggo 4 compact SUV also meets modern standards: the finishing materials are of decent quality, the general style is high-tech, and the ergonomics are at a high level. A new multimedia system has appeared, equipped with a nine-inch screen with the ability to access the Internet and media files of various formats. The engine is only one, 122-horsepower naturally aspirated power unit with a volume of 2.0 liters, mated with a variator. The lack of all-wheel drive has almost no effect on the off-road characteristics of the SUV, a clearance of 16 cm and a solid 25-centimeter front overhang allow the Chinese crossover to overcome water obstacles up to 60 cm deep.Riding on rough terrain will also not cause any problems.

The basic Comfort equipment costs 860 thousand rubles, it includes heated / electrically adjustable side mirrors, alloy 17-inch wheels, cruise control, air conditioning, roof rails, heated seats, full power accessories, multifunction steering wheel, the already mentioned multimedia system. The second Luxury package, which is also a top-end one, costs 955 thousand rubles, and for this money you will get disks an inch larger, leather interior, push-button engine start, tire pressure monitoring function, several assistants, two airbags, a rearview camera and a row other "chips". In a word, very decent equipment. And this is the first place in our rating of new crossovers for a million rubles.

Lifan X60

For the Chinese brand, this model has become a pioneer in the class of compact SUVs. Initially, the X60 was conceived as an SUV, but in the end it received the status of an urban crossover, and even without all-wheel drive. However, representatives of the brand claim that this is fixable, and promise to equip the crossover with all-wheel drive in the foreseeable future.

At a cursory glance at the Chinese SUV, many see the similarities with the RAV4 crossover, and this is indeed the case. Moreover, even in the interior of the Lifan X60, many solutions are borrowed from the Japanese bestseller, but for the future car owner this is hardly important. The assembly is good, the upholstery materials are so-so. There is enough space in the back for three medium-sized adults.

During its presence on the market, the crossover was updated several times as part of restyling and facelift, but the only 128-horsepower 1.6-liter power unit remained as such, like the five-speed manual transmission. But the engine is not bad, specialists from the British firm Ricardo worked on its development together with Chinese engineers.

The initial Basic configuration costs only 740 thousand rubles - this is one of the most advantageous offers in our review. At the same time, the equipment cannot be called completely meager: there are all 4 power windows, electric drive / heated outside mirrors, a good sound system, adjustable front seats, halogens with an electric corrector, roof rails, daytime running lights, a pair of front airbags, a standard set of ABS / EBD.

The Comfort package (920 thousand rubles) boasts a leather interior, crankcase protection, heated front seats, rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels. Having paid a little more (about 70 thousand rubles), you can purchase the Luxury package, with the addition of a multimedia system, a multifunction steering wheel, a sliding sunroof to the above. The top grade Luxury + goes a little beyond a million rubles. In general, Lifan X60 deserves second place in the ranking of the best crossovers worth up to 1 million rubles.

Renault Duster I

The old man, though tired, does not intend to give up his positions. But if about five years ago, even the top-end configurations of the crossover did not reach the psychological barrier of 1 million rubles, today this milestone has long been overcome, and you can only count on younger configurations (in fairness, we note that the second generation of the SUV, most likely already in 2021 year will not have complete sets worth less than a million rubles).

Present on the domestic market for 10 years, the first generation crossover is assembled at the Moscow plant Avtoframos. It shares a platform with Logan, and, unlike inexpensive Chinese SUVs, has four-wheel drive. His appearance, of course, is outdated, but it is by no means ugly, but the crossover's cross-country ability is excellent, which is among the priorities for the Russian motorist.

The salon is not cramped and moderately comfortable. The front-wheel drive crossover has a much smaller trunk than a car with all-wheel drive - 408 liters versus 475 (1570 versus 1636 with the rear row folded).

Renault Duster is equipped with three engines to choose from: two petrol power units (1.6 and 2.0 liters) and a 1.5 liter diesel engine. Since 2013, in addition to the manual transmission, a four-band automatic is also available.

The basic configuration of Authentique at the beginning of 2021 cost 912 thousand rubles, and for this money you will get a little: halogen optics, noise insulation, daytime running lights, adjustable front seats. The Expression configuration (from 982 thousand rubles) includes an air conditioner, roof rails, front power windows, an acoustic system, and a central locking system.

The rest of the configurations cost a million rubles. The crossover received the third place for a front-wheel drive version with a manual transmission and a cost within 1,000,000 rubles for its excellent off-road capabilities.

Lifan x70

The crossover, released in 2018, aims to retire its predecessor, the X60. As you can see, he has not yet coped with this task, but it is obvious that this is a matter for the near future.

The SUV turned out to be slightly larger than its predecessor and of better quality in many respects (in the presence of more high-strength steel, in improved sound insulation, suspension modifications).

There is no smell of a wide variety of engines here either - at your service is a 136-horsepower 2.0-liter engine, combined with a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable variator. With a ground clearance of 19.5 cm, the crossover feels quite confident outside the city, but the lack of all-wheel drive does not allow the SUV to overcome difficult areas.

Most new Chinese cars are designed with European buyers in mind. Here, too, in the interior of the crossover, you can feel the European style, which is successfully combined with purely Asian design elements.

The car has three complete sets.The initial Basic can be purchased for 830 thousand rubles, and it will delight you with front airbags, halogen optics, full power accessories, alloy 17-inch wheels, an audio system with two speakers, tire pressure monitoring, an assistant start downhill, a light sensor and other less significant options.

The Standard equipment also costs less than a million rubles, an air conditioner, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, 2 additional speakers, and rear parking sensors are added here. Top-of-the-line Luxury equipment goes beyond the million dollar budget.

A solid Chinese SUV took the fourth line in the list of the best new crossovers up to 1,000,000 rubles with high chances for a future rise in rank.

Nissan terrano

Appeared in Russia in 2014, the updated Terrano was strikingly different from its predecessors. The Japanese decided to move away from the Pathfinder, an SUV that has been successfully selling for two decades and became the prototype of the first two generations of the Terrano crossover.

The novelty shares one platform with the Duster, and therefore the cars are in many ways similar. But not externally and not in the interior - here the advantage is clearly not on the side of the Frenchman.

There are common features in the cabin, but the torpedo and air ducts are different, one can feel the adherence to the strict style, which is contraindicated for the "Frenchman". The line of motors is represented by two power units, a junior 114-horsepower 1.6-liter engine and an older two-liter engine with a capacity of 143 horsepower. In terms of equipment, Terrano is noticeably ahead.

The basic equipment costs from 931 thousand rubles and includes front power windows, an audio system with four speakers, halogen optics with headlight range control, air conditioning, adjustable front seats, front airbags, a CC outlet, ABS / EBD / ESP. The Elegance package can be bought for 975 thousand rubles, and here heating of the front seats and windshield, remote engine start, side airbags, route BC, foglights, roof rails are added. The cost of a front-wheel-drive crossover of older configurations lies outside the limits of 1,000,000 rubles.

SsangYong Tivoli

This is the first-born of the brand in the class of subcompact urban SUVs. The model is notable for the fact that it appeared after the merger of the Korean automaker with the Indian corporation Mahindra. For your information: Tivoli is a small Italian town located 25 km north of Rome, and a crossover was named after him.

The miniature SUV has a remarkable and not repulsive appearance with a fashionable urban exterior. Appearing in Russia in 2017, two years after the world premiere, the car is characterized by a rich color scheme and two-tone design; high-strength steel with a large margin of strength and stiffness is used in the manufacture of the body. In general, the security package is decent, including about a dozen systems and assistants.

Despite its small dimensions, the cabin is not cramped, and it is quite comfortable and ergonomic.

The basic Welcome package fits exactly one million rubles (minus 1 ruble, of course) and is equipped with a 128-horsepower 1.6-liter engine, manual transmission, climate system, steering wheel heating, full power accessories, a modern multimedia system with the ability to integrate with mobile gadgets.

The top option costs 200 thousand more. Deserved 6th place in our rating of new crossovers for 1,000,000 rubles.

Brilliance v5

The start of sales of the model in Russia fell on 2014, in 2017 it underwent an update. This is the second brand phenomenon in our country - the previous one turned out to be a failure due to poor build quality and weak equipment. This time it turned out much better, the SUV diverges, although worse than more famous brands from the Middle Kingdom.

It is equipped with a crossover or a 110-horsepower 1.6-liter aspirated engine, or a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 143 liters. from. The drive is only front, the ground clearance is 17.5 cm. But this is one of the few new crossovers for 1,000,000 rubles with an automatic transmission. The exterior of the SUV is sporty - this is the concept of the brand.

The basic set of Sport costs a thousand rubles less than a million (with a turbo engine and an automatic) and includes a multifunction steering wheel, LED optics, an audio system with support for modern formats and media, air conditioning, DRL, roof rails, fog lights, frontal PB and other options.

JAC S5

The mid-size city SUV looks very solid and modern outwardly, because the start of its sales in Russia fell on 2017. True, it does not shine with originality of forms either - experts believe that it is in many ways similar to the Hyundai ix35. We will not consider this a disadvantage, since in the C-NCAP crash test the crossover showed itself to all 5 stars.

The interior of the crossover, worth 1,000,000 rubles, looks much fresher than the exterior: the plastic is pleasant to the touch, the upholstery is also good, and the modern tidy is successfully complemented by lacquered inserts that give the interior a touch of premium.

The power unit includes two motors, a 136-horsepower aspirated and a 176-horsepower turbo engine, complemented by a reliable six-speed mechanics.

The basic version of Luxury costs 999 thousand and is equipped with air conditioning, a leather multi-steering wheel, rails, full power accessories, heated and electrically controlled exterior mirrors, a multimedia center with a 7-inch display.

Zotye T600

In the exterior of this city SUV, one can guess the similarity with similar products of the VAG automaker (more specifically, with the VW Touareg crossovers and partly with the Audi Q5). Well, the Chinese are reluctant to give up on the idea of ​​borrowing the exterior, because it is much cheaper. But if from the outside the Zotye T600 looks unoriginal, in all other respects it is a completely self-sufficient and reliable crossover up to 1,000,000 rubles. Both in terms of equipment and in terms of safety, the model does not graze the rear, at least among its compatriots, classmates.

The only turbocharged 149-horsepower engine with a volume of 1.5 liters is aggregated with a five-speed mechanics, only front-wheel drive, clearance - 18.5 cm.

And although only the junior Luxury equipment falls into our price range, it costs from 850 thousand, down to a million to 150 thousand, which can be spent on retrofitting.

But already in the base you will receive front airbags, light-alloy 17-inch wheels, halogen optics, trip computer, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, an audio system with four speakers, full power accessories, air conditioning, an adjustable leather steering wheel and several security systems, including ABS / EBD / ESP, dimmable rearview mirror and other options.

The Royal equipment costs a little more than a million rubles and includes a leather interior, heated exterior mirrors, a multifunction steering wheel, two additional speakers, and rear parking sensors.

Hawtai laville

Our top 10 crossovers, which can be bought for 1,000,000 rubles, are closed by another representative of the Chinese car industry. We can assume that some of our readers have never heard of such a model, or even about the brand. And he's not that bad at all. In China, the compact SUV debuted in 2014, it took us four years to get there. The exterior of the crossover strongly resembles the appearance of the Hyundai ix35, while the car is designed on the same platform. However, not all the exterior details were copied - the optics unit and the radiator grill are original. The salon is also nothing like a Korean crossover. It is moderately ergonomic, functional and roomy. 430 liters of useful boot volume is an indicator of a good hatchback.

The power unit includes an uncontested 145-horsepower turbocharged engine with a volume of 1.3 liters and a five-speed manual gearbox, which can be optionally changed to a four-band automatic.

The package bundle is also the only one, and with a manual gearbox it costs 9,439 thousand rubles.But the list of standard options is good: leather interior, alloy 17-inch wheels, front airbags, air conditioning, push-button start of the power unit, all 4 power windows, panoramic cameras, multimedia system with a touch screen, navigation system, rear parking sensors, audio system with six speakers, heated front row seats, power and heated exterior mirrors.

In 2021, it is more than realistic to purchase new crossovers with no more than 1,000,000 rubles. And the list will not consist solely of the products of the Chinese car industry, as you have clearly seen in the framework of the rating considered.

As you can see, even a modest one million rubles by today's standards gives good opportunities for buying a new car. On the presented models of crossovers, the list is not limited, but nevertheless it is these 10 cars that look as attractive, interesting and promising as possible. You just need to prioritize, decide on the optimal manufacturer, take into account your personal wishes and requirements for the purchased vehicle.

Thus, the answer to the question of which crossover to choose for 1,000,000 from the listed ones lies in the plane of your personal preferences, we have only outlined the guidelines.
