Grand crossovers
But first, a few words about the utilitarian side of the issue. Of course, the 4x4 formula, sturdy suspension, convincing ground clearance of SUVs make it easy to move in Russian “directions”. However, serious off-road is too tough for them due to the lack of hard locks and, with rare exceptions, downshifts. A crossover is an excellent option for citizens of an active lifestyle who want to sit taller, not be afraid of high curbs or snow-marked roads. In addition, the assets of large SUVs include a roomy interior with developed transformation capabilities, generous equipment with a lot of Sybarite things, advanced electronic systems, in every way pleasing about the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers.
Grand crossovers
Before buying an overall SUV, you must especially carefully weigh the pros and cons, given the considerable cost of such cars. Clear business, especially ask for representatives of premium brands. The most valuable exhibits cost more than two, or even three million rubles!

In my opinion…
Oleg Getmanenko
- An attractive price, without a doubt, refers to the serious trump cards SsangYong Kyron, Chevrolet Captiva, Nissan X-Trail, Kia Sorento. At the other extreme are luxury SUVs Audi Q5, BMW X5 and X6, Infiniti EX and FX, Lexus RX, but for their customers, any expenses are more important than any expenses, an aura of luxury and prestige with a balanced balance of driving qualities. If you expect from a heavy car almost passenger car handling, it makes sense to look at the Bavarian crossovers, as well as the Mazda CX-7 and Infiniti EX. SsangYong Kyron and Nissan X-Trail are better prepared for meeting off-road.
By the way, together with the Mitsubishi Outlander XL, the Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser (pictured) are built on the same platform. Prices for both "French" start at 939, 000 rubles., For all-wheel drive modification will have to pay at least 1, 084, 000 rubles. Triplets, but not twins, as evidenced by differences in appearance, interior design, chassis settings.
