A motorist in such a car always stands out from the stream. He can see everything on the road and, to be honest, many give up the advantage in the descendant of such cars.

One significant disadvantage of jeeps is that they are, for the most part, quite expensive. For those who want to buy an SUV, but have a modest budget, it is recommended to study the following rating below. It is possible that some of the listed machines will have both to their liking and finances.

The most inexpensive SUVs

Of course, in this rating there will be no cars from Toyota or Jeep. And this is understandable. Nevertheless, many cars can be called quite worthy. They are large, comfortable and successfully overcome various obstacles that can be encountered on the road. Actually, let's move on to the rating.

Niva cars

Niva SUVs are time-tested. The most popular model from this series, of course, remains the VAZ-2121. Machines with such alphanumeric markings can be found in all countries of the world. Unfortunately, in some states they have become living monuments to the power of the Soviet automobile industry. For example, a lot of Niv gathering dust in garages and under sheds in Greece.

Once the Greeks actively used the Niva to drive through their mountainous landscapes. The country's accession to the EU, where clear requirements for the level of harmful emissions are established, has transferred Niva from the category of efficient Vehicle in the category of museums on wheels.

Niva is characterized by:

• gasoline engine, the volume of which is 1.7 liters. Power - 80 horses;
• utilitarian appearance and interior.

It is worth noting the main thing: the car successfully copes with the main task - off-road driving.
Now in Russia, the Niva Chevrolet is selling well, including on the secondary market. It is more comfortable than the 2121 and 2131 models, has airbags and certain power accessories, but is less reliable and efficient off-road. However, the emphasis was on appearance and comfort.

UAZ - jeep from Russia

Of course, this subtitle is a stamp, but you can’t say better and more precisely. The legendary model is the UAZ-469, which still faithfully serves as a special vehicle for police officers. The car has:

• plug-in all-wheel drive;
• 2.7-liter engine capable of reaching 112 horsepower.

Now the Hunter model, which is a descendant, is more popular. It cannot be said that there are many changes. The design has been slightly improved, power steering has been added and a spring suspension has been installed. It is possible to order a car with diesel engine which is nice given current fuel prices.

Duster

To be honest, there are some doubts whether it should be considered a full-fledged SUV. Not quite the car meets the requirements stated for off-road cars. But, if there is a Niva in the rating, then, probably, Duster should also be mentioned. The car is quite reliable and comfortable. Four-wheel drive plug-in, operates in two modes: manual and automatic.

The kits are different. The engine can be either petrol or diesel. Can't be happier with the price. It is comparable to the price of Chevrolet Niva. At the same time, the Duster seems to be a more reliable car.

Great Wall Hover H5

Another very popular car. And how can she not be popular if she can compete with Europeans and Japanese in design and interior trim. In addition, off-road performance on the level. The price, considering all the advantages, is very attractive.

The car has good cross-country qualities, but its power is not enough. Only 85 horsepower. And the dimensions are quite small, which is certainly good for urban conditions. But you will have to drive such a car, for example, into the forest with a minimum number of things. However, Jimmy has his fans in many countries around the world.

exotic

Mobius Two is the name of a Kenyan SUV manufactured by Mobius. The machine is absolutely utilitarian. But Kenya is a state where such machines are ideal.

The car is characterized by:

• Toyota engine;
• 5-speed manual;
• permanent all-wheel drive.

Among the main features of the car: it has a ground clearance of 35.5 cm, can carry up to 8 people, its body is made of tubular metal. It seems that the car would be popular in our country if it had a winter package.

Which SUV is the cheapest to maintain

The SUVs with the lowest price are listed above. The low price of a car does not always mean that the car will be cheap to maintain. For example, everyone knows the situation with the Chinese, who are not very expensive, but spare parts for them are sometimes just like gold.

If you think logically, then you can come to the conclusion that the cheapest SUVs to maintain will be:

• domestic cars;
• old cars.

Yes, it can be argued that old domestic cars break down regularly. But the parts for them are pretty cheap. For the price that is necessary, for example, to decapitalize a Toyota engine, 10 VAZ engines can be made. Of course, this opinion does not claim to be absolute truth. Among motorists, there may be other points of view.

But, if you want to buy a cheap SUV that will not be very expensive to maintain, then you should take a closer look at UAZs and Niva.

A cross-country vehicle is more expensive than conventional transport, because it has special technologies to increase its potential. Such machines require a certain amount of care, driving skills and attitudes. Inexpensive SUVs are a whole caste of models that are not too in a hurry to raise prices. Jeep belonging to the budget option does not necessarily mean that the car is of poor quality or outdated technology.

Many quite productive new foreign and domestic SUVs are not so expensive, they turn out to be quite reliable and efficient off-road. To buy an inexpensive and productive jeep in all respects, you should fully study the market that has developed today and get more information from reviews and personal opinions of experts. Consider interesting offers of jeeps in a low price class.

Great Wall Hover H3 - inexpensive and adequate quality jeep

Among the new cars you can find a lot of Chinese who belong to this category. It is worth saying that for the most part these cars are not only profitable in price, but also of quite high quality. Inexpensive SUVs from China in the form of the Great Wall Hover H3 are a great solution for those who want to save money on their purchase.

The car has excellent engines for 116 and 150 horsepower in the New version, as well as all-wheel drive and a good manual transmission with reasonable travel and gear range. The new version will cost 900,000 rubles, but so far you can buy an old inexpensive jeep in Russia.

SsangYong Kyron - Korean SUV with a good price tag

Anything that costs up to 1,000,000 can be called an inexpensive car. Of course, this does not apply to the used equipment market, but among new cars it is very difficult to find a worthy representative for that kind of money. SsangYong Kyron - one of the most successful jeeps for the money. The machine offers a huge number of advantages in the form of excellent technology and quite modern design.

New inexpensive SUVs with Korean quality and excellent perception, high comfort and low cost have been on sale for quite a long time. Russian market. But today Kyron is on the verge of renewal. After restyling, the most inexpensive SUV from Korea can rise in price significantly.

Suzuki Grand Vitara in a beautiful restyling

Another quite budget option for an SUV, or rather a productive crossover, is the Suzuki Grand Vitara. Japanese unconditional quality and incredible travel comfort features will help you get the most out of using this car. The main advantages of the Grand Vitara are:

• in the new design, the jeep looks just great;
• the engines remained the same - productive and not too voracious;
• branded comfort technologies and soft suspensions delight the driver;
• cross-country ability is high only in versions with all-wheel drive.

You are unlikely to want to take the Suzuki Grand Vitara off-road. Still, it's not quite an SUV. Therefore, this purchase can be considered more as a car for urban conditions. Off-road and difficult checks for the car will be alien.

Suzuki XL7 - big and budget car

Suzuki's XL7 had two generations, but also didn't quite belong to the category of SUVs. This jeep is designed for a premium trip on a variety of roads, but there is no desire to take it off-road. Expensive appearance, great trip, comfortable interior - all this is conducive to the purchase of transport.

Today, this inexpensive good SUV can only be bought in the secondary market, the car was discontinued. But it is in a used form that the car remains inexpensive and quite adequate in terms of quality and reliability. Japanese technology will definitely not let you down.

Luxgen U7 Turbo - a new car with excellent performance

If you need an SUV exclusively for city trips, look not at real expensive jeeps, but at the Luxgen U7 Turbo. Taiwanese origins from a premium corporation makes this machine not overly expensive, but not the cheapest either.

The high-quality execution of the interior space and technology of the jeep remains one of the important indicators of the car. This is an inexpensive reliable SUV that will provide good travel opportunities and become one of the discoveries of the automotive world for lovers of quality technology. In a set of successful technological solutions, you will find the most unusual features and solutions unexpected for a Taiwanese car.

Summing up

You can list a long list of worthy inexpensive SUV models that are good enough to be in your garage. But the ratings must end, so today we have offered our own selection of unusual and interesting jeeps with an inexpensive price tag. Of course, at a cost of up to 1,000,000 rubles or within similar limits, it is difficult to find a premium car with great potential, but you can buy a good crossover without any problems.

Today it is worth paying attention to SUVs manufactured by Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese companies. These are cars that are definitely not overpriced in their value. Manufacturers are struggling to survive in a highly competitive environment, so price is the first competitive factor for them.

One of the most important factors in choosing a full-fledged SUV today is the budget. Many want to buy the cheapest jeep, having received excellent cross-country qualities that could compete with market leaders.

The most interesting thing is that this approach to buying a passable car is quite real, because SUV manufacturers often take money for comfort and quality. finishing materials, and the basic functions of off-road driving are also found in cheaper cars.

We studied the Russian market, which offers a huge range of jeeps, and came to the conclusion that the following five models have the best combination of cost and off-road features. The main selection factor was the low price, but we also paid attention to the quality and customer reviews.

UAZ Patriot - Russian and inspiring confidence

In the Russian market, this SUV has become one of the leaders in its price class. Many owners say the Patriot is the cheapest SUV to look out for in the new car market.

Among the notable features that this Russian jeep has, it should be noted the impressive size of the cabin, fairly high-quality equipment. Recently, the SUV has acquired a diesel engine, which is perfect for the temperament of a large car. Present in the arsenal and a gasoline power unit.

The main advantages that the manufacturer is so proud of are the following points:

• increased comfort in the updated version of 2013;
• reliability and quality of all units, good assembly;
• an inexpensive car to maintain with a mass of off-road technical equipment;
• low price in the basic version, which already has a full-fledged all-wheel drive;
• the best cross-country performance in the price segment.

Most of the parts and components of the SUV are produced in Russia. This allows you to rank the car in the class of the cheapest SUVs. Of course, this jeep is not yet known in the world, but the plant is actively working on export programs.

Reviews with proud photos of owners fishing, hunting or relaxing speak for themselves.

Chevrolet Niva - on the verge of renewal

Another SUV, the production of which is established in Russia. AvtoVAZ created this model together with the American company General Motors, equipping it with excellent equipment with fairly high-quality characteristics. The car is also inexpensive to maintain - an excellent transport for Russian conditions.

A lot of videos shot by the owners of these cars confirm that the factory did not fail with the model. Chevrolet Niva is used both for city trips and for fishing trips to places inaccessible to cars. The main advantages are the following points:

• amazing price, as for the class of SUVs - from 459 thousand rubles;
• interesting design, in which the car has been sold for more than 8 years;
• good engine - hardy 1.7-liter gasoline unit;
• four-wheel drive with high-quality locking systems;
• one of the most popular jeeps in Russia.

Having ranked its joint product in the category of cheap jeeps, the GM-AvtoVAZ corporation has been achieving good sales on the market for several years now. But the time has come to update the car, because 8 years is a long enough time for this class.

Already by 2015, a completely new Chevrolet Niva with a redesigned and updated engines will appear on the Russian market. Perhaps the concern will repeat its experiment with the installation of a more powerful, technologically advanced engine, as well as improve all-wheel drive systems.

Great Wall Hover H5 - Chinese and popular

The popularity of the Chinese car Great Wall Hover H5 is growing rapidly. The manufacturer offers more and more interesting technologies, and the consumer in Russia is ready to buy such jeeps. According to the characteristics of the Hover H5, you can safely put it in the middle class category.

Already in the basic version, the SUV has excellent technical characteristics, rich filling, traditional Chinese chic and brilliance. The assembly no longer gives such obvious reasons for surprise, and some owners publish photos with reviews after 200 thousand kilometers of operation. The most interesting features of the Chinese Jeep are as follows:

• excellent visual data, good design, large saloon;
• a price that makes you seriously think about buying - from 719 thousand rubles;
• cheap to maintain, unpretentious SUV with excellent technology;
• popularity not only in the CIS countries, but all over the world.

The Chinese automotive industry continues to develop at a tremendous pace. For some domestic manufacturers, it is already problematic to catch up with Eastern brands in price and quality offers. If nothing changes in the coming years, many opponents of oriental cars will seriously think about buying such an interesting SUV.

Great Wall Wingle 3 is another representative of the Eastern industry

This car is a representative of the pickup family, but many residents of our country purchase it as a jeep. Technical characteristics and visual data allow us to talk about excellent comfort, high quality of the trip.

It makes no sense to talk a lot about the Chinese pickup truck, because it almost completely repeats the features of its brother on the conveyor described above. One has only to note that its cost starts from a more modest 644 thousand rubles, and the amount of usable space is much larger.

Mobius Two - the cheapest, but quite worthy

If you need an all-wheel drive and passable car for its direct tasks, the Mobius Two is an excellent candidate for purchase - the cheapest option for an all-wheel drive car in the world.

Of course, the exterior and technical data of this car cannot be compared with the representatives of the middle class, which were discussed above. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when Mobius Two deliveries to Russia will begin. At the moment, sales have started only in the homeland of the car - in Kenya.

The manufacturer reports the following features of his offspring:

• 2-litre petrol engine with little power potential;
• cost within 6 thousand dollars;
• lack of high technology on board the machine;
• high permeability.

A remarkable moment in the characteristics was the clearance, which is equal to 35 centimeters. If such an interesting option appears on our market, its sales will definitely show a high level.

Summing up

Cheap cars with enviable cross-country ability are becoming a reality. The entry of Chinese manufacturers into the market has clearly increased the competitive race of brands. When domestic producers began to lose customers, serious actions began to be taken.

As a result, today we see a fairly saturated market for budget SUVs that are able to give the driver enough confidence in the trip, comfort and quality.

It remains to be hoped that this trend will continue, and reliable European brands will get into the list of the cheapest jeeps.
