Long gone are the days when a family car of this format could be purchased within 500 thousand rubles: now it’s cheaper than half a million only a few micro-vans in basic configurations. And even despite the fact that at one time we expanded the limits of accessibility by raising the bar to 650, 000 rubles, the choice of buyers remains rather limited. However, family people can still profit from something. We hope that our hit parade will help you make the right choice.

Nissan Nout-1.4MT-Luxher - 550, 000 rubles
1. "Nissan-Nout-1.4MT-Luxher"
The main advantage of the Nout is its brilliantly comfortable interior. It provides a sliding sofa and folding trays in the backs of the seats, a practical box under the front passenger seat and a two-story trunk, numerous pockets, hooks and other devices designed to make the cabin as comfortable as possible. True, all these little things, which turn a car into a real family transport for all occasions, appear in the Nout only with the Laksheri equipment. The basic "Comfort", alas, is not so practical. But the 1.4-liter engine with a capacity of 88 liters. with. nice, comfortable and safe "Nissan" is enough for a confident move in space. Well, if you can’t imagine life without a “machine gun”, you will have to pay extra for a more powerful “one and six”. However, even such a Nout, with a fair margin, still fits into the allocated budget. A little expensive Not at all: there are simply no more accessible vans that could boast of at least half of the Raccoon's inherent talents.
Citroen-S3-Picasso-1.4MT-Confor
2. "Citroen-S3-Picasso-1.4 MT-Confor"
The smallest, but by no means the least gifted among the monocovers, the Citroen impresses primarily with its unique design with hidden front roof pillars and intricate optics. In addition, the Citro has a very comfortable lounge with truly huge transformation capabilities. Finally, the 95-horsepower engine is quite traction and quite economical, it is good in the city, but it will not let you down on the highway either. The only, however, very serious drawback of a capable “Frenchman” is the lack of an automatic transmission.
“Skoda-Rumster-1.4MT-Aktiv”
3. “Skoda-Rumster-1.4MT-Aktiv”
It can be mistaken for a cargo-and-passenger “heel”, but in fact, the “Rumster” is a real micro-van, and it’s very convenient. In the standard configuration, the Skoda offers a full 5-seater saloon and a 450-liter boot. At the same time, the rear row seats can be moved back and forth, left or right, or completely removed from the passenger compartment, turning the car into a truck with a useful volume of 1780 liters. The only possible, but adequately equipped version of the "Style" can be understaffed with options to taste.
Opel Meriva-1, 6MT-Angoy
4. "Opel Meriva-1.6MT-Angoy"
The second-generation Meriva appeared in Europe last year, and reached Russia only at the close of this summer. With the change of generations, the car has grown significantly: now it is closer to compact than to micro-van. The new Meriva is curious, first of all, with the rear doors opening against the movement. The Flex-Dors design is not of particular practical use, but you must agree that it looks more than original: no one else has such a gate, except perhaps the Rolls-Royce. Even the base 1.4-liter “stosilok” carries a van with dignity, but, alas, the “automatic” is possible only with an expensive diesel engine.
Kia-Carens-1, 6MT-Comfort
5. “Kia-Carens-1, 6MT-Comfort”
The Korean compact van is especially good in the 7-seater version with a 2-liter engine, but the base Karen is hardly more talented than the micro-vans - Nouta, Rumster and S3-Picasso. He is not entitled to a 7-seater saloon - only five seats, including the driver. In addition, the capabilities of the 1.6-liter “four” heavy “Kia” is barely enough. In addition, such a car flaunts a cheap trim. Finally, at a higher price than the competing kids, the Karen price cannot be bought with an automatic machine. That’s why only fifth place.
Ford Fusion, from 491, 800 rubles
MORE SPECIFIC
"Ford Fusion" some tend to refer to the Van. However, it is impossible to identify the class belonging of this model - even the features of a SUV will be found in its appearance. In fact, "Fusion" is not without the talents of a one-room car - to take at least a command landing and a saloon that is quite good in terms of transformation capabilities. Finally, the price is attractive - in the basic version, the car will cost 491, 800 rubles. However, a 100-horsepower engine with an "automatic" is more expensive - 620 thousand. True, Fusion’s career is approaching sunset, and its upcoming successor is promised to be more specific in its orientation: Bi-Max, which will appear next year, will be a typical micro-van.
Suzuki Splash, 540, 000 rubles
HEIGHT
In the budget segment, Suzuki Splash could well be a hit. The kid, built on the basis of a successful Swift, has incorporated all of its best features - a brisk motor, high safety, interesting driving qualities. Bonus “Splash” - a higher interior and roomy trunk. It’s only a pity that the price of the comprehensively gifted “Splash” has grown: the version with a new engine of 1.2 liters (94 hp) and an automatic transmission costs 540, 000 rubles.
Honda-Jazz-Comfort ", from 615 000 rubles
WITHOUT FIVE MINUTES
In the price range up to 650, 000 rubles. You can find curious "almost monoemolumes." It is, first of all, about Honda Jazz. She has a more vertical than conventional supermini landing and a fairly high roof - the key to a spacious interior and a comfortable trunk. Here are just a 1.4-liter "Jazz" even in the basic equipment "Comfort" is more expensive than full-fledged micro-vans - from 615, 000 rubles.
LEAVING GO
The choice of buyers of budget single-volume phones does not get richer: old models are leaving, but new ones are not trying to take the vacuum they created. The Chevrolet-Orlando, which was supposed to replace the Rezzo, who had died in the Bose, has still not reached our edges; and the Hyundai Matrix, who had retired, did not begin to hand over the affairs to his successor. And although the Korean brand in the lineup has a single-volume ix20 (the essence is the twin “Kia-Wenga”), this micro-van is not for sale in Russia …
FIAT-Doblo-Panorama-Comfort, 621, 000 rubles
KABLUK NOW ROADS
The passenger-and-freight models, commonly referred to as “heels” in the common people, do not look like single-volume cars at all. Such models are rather a parallel path to the micro- and compact van evolution of a modern car. Among their disadvantages are a simplified design and the absence of even a hint of prestige. But you can not ignore the merits of such cars - a roomy interior and a huge trunk. The trouble with the “heels” is that they are no cheaper than thoroughbred micro-veins. Say, in a decent modern car configuration, the very capable Citroen-Berlingo and Peugeot-Partner-Tipi are fired for 600 thousand. And even the “Italian” of the Russian assembly “FIAT-Doblo-Panorama” in the optimal version “Comfort” has ceased to be blatantly attractive: instead of the previous 574, 500 rubles, it now costs 621 thousand.
Kia Wenga
LESS BUT ROAD
Kia-Wenga, which premiered in Frankfurt in August 2009, finally reached Russia. Despite its modest dimensions, the small wench turned out to be a rather expensive little thing - in the base the machine is only 30 thousand cheaper than the larger Karen - and this, by the way, is in the worst configuration: in the most affordable Wenge there is not even “music”! So, although an elderly, but much larger “Karen” is much more profitable than his petty bro.
