Rating of used crossovers up to 700 thousand rubles in 2021

It is customary to call crossovers cars built on a lightweight platform with a monocoque body. They have a high seating position, often four-wheel drive, although there are configurations with one pair of wheels.

This concept was first introduced in the United States. But the first full-fledged representative of the SUV class was the Japanese Toyota RAV4.

Now it is one of the most demanded classes of cars in the world. The demand for them is huge, and in a wide variety of price categories.

The assortment of used crossovers up to 700,000 rubles is quite impressive. But not all of these options will satisfy the buyer. Therefore, the top 10 was compiled taking into account some requirements, criteria and parameters. So we managed to select the optimal crossovers that fully correspond to this concept.

Criterias of choice

With a budget of up to 700 thousand rubles, you can only count on used crossovers.

In theory, it is possible to find a new car for that kind of money. But it will be a cheap Chinese, or some product of the domestic auto industry such as Chevrolet Niva, VAZ Niva, Lada 4x4 or UAZ. And even then in the poorest trim levels.

And the buyer expects for this money to get a decent level of comfort, good equipment, climatic equipment with at least air conditioning and other privileges of a modern crossover.

Therefore, here you should immediately focus on cars aged 7-10 years. There are several specimens around 5 years old. But these are initially budget and simple crossovers. There is no talk of any premium in them.

When selecting candidates, the main emphasis was placed on such parameters.

• Cost and quality. Practice shows that it is better to take a good used foreign car than a frankly cheap option for the same money, but a new one, without a run. The price of 700 thousand rubles is not small. But such a budget cannot be called big. Value for money can be considered the main criterion for choosing a crossover in the secondary market.
• Age. Maximum 10-12 years. Anything older than this age usually starts to rust and rot. This is how today's cars are assembled so that people change them more often. Practice shows that it is extremely difficult to find a living body and an engine for a car that has passed more than 15 years on this land.
• Manufacturer. The priority is for companies that have proven themselves from a good side. These are manufacturers of reliable, robust machines with a decent resource. Now these are Japanese, Korean and some European brands.

As a result, the following automakers were included in the list of favorites:

• Kia.
• Hyundai.
• Renault.
• Nissan.
• Honda.
• Mitsubishi.
• Subaru.
• Volkswagen.

Further, separately about what used crossovers on the Russian market can be found for 700,000 rubles.

Subaru forester

For many, it is not the most obvious option with a budget of 700,000 rubles, since Japanese crossovers and SUVs of the Subaru brand, especially used ones, cause a lot of controversy and talk.

For the budget under consideration, the Forester crossovers of the 3rd generation are presented in the secondary market. These are models from 2007 to 2012.

The bulk of the offerings are a 2.0-liter 150 horsepower engine and an automatic transmission. A rarer guest in the ads will be the 2.5-liter version with 172 horsepower.

The great advantage of motors is that they are atmospheric. That being said, the 2.5-liter version is a bored two-liter engine. And therefore, with prolonged loads, it becomes more prone to overheating with all that it implies.

Taking a junior motor, you will feel the best economy and reliability. But there is almost no difference in power, what is the advantage.

Consider 230 and 263 hp turbocharged engines in such a budget. from. not worth it. They are short-lived, suffer from oil starvation, and are also usually sold after those who have experienced the capabilities of the internal combustion engine repeatedly and under heavy loads.

Hyundai ix35

He is also Hyundai Tucson 2nd generation. Quite a nice and stylish car. A real crossover, focused more on the city.

A liquid option, which can be taken for 700 thousand rubles with a mileage of about 100-150 thousand km. These crossovers are easy to find and not particularly difficult to sell. The main thing is to put a reasonable price tag.

The model is distinguished by good reliability, resourceful engines, problem-free gearboxes. Focus on approximately 2008-2010 release year. Yes, the car will be over 10 years old. But for the Hyundai ix35, this is a normal age. With proper operation, it will last the same amount.

Renault Duster

Few of such a rating is complete without a crossover from the French company.

For some, these are the best low-cost used crossovers available for less than Rs. 700,000.

Now for the new Renault Duster they ask about 1 million rubles in a good configuration. Basic equipment costs up to a million. This allows you to safely rely on approximately 2017 release with a mileage of less than 100 thousand kilometers on the odometer.

The principle is simple here. The richer the equipment, the older you will have to look for Duster for this money. You can sacrifice the equipment, and then just a few years will pass since the release of Renault Duster. There are even warranty options.

You don't have to look exclusively at the first generation. For that kind of money, you can look into the segment with a new version of the French crossover.

Volkswagen tiguan

Solid German car. Such used crossovers are actively sold in the secondary market, and there are very decent options for 700 thousand rubles.

The second generation is definitely not. It has been released only since 2016. And a new car now costs from 2 million rubles. Therefore, only the first generation, but in a restyled version.

The first generation was released in 2007. But there is no need to look so far with 700,000 rubles at your disposal. If you decide on a 2007-2008 year of release, then demand the maximum configuration.

Objectively, the best solution will be 2010-2012. True, here you should not count on four-wheel drive and a top-end engine. The budget is not enough. We'll have to throw in another 100 thousand rubles.

For the available money, you can take the initial or middle configuration of those years with front-wheel drive. It is not recommended to take the version with the DSG box. This box was fully finalized only in 2013. And since the restrictions until 2012 are due to the budget, it is better to have an automatic or a mechanic.

The salon will be fabric. Normal audio system without touch multimedia. And the multifunction steering wheel may be absent. But this is a German crossover with a solid build and good workmanship.

If you are not particularly demanding in terms of a modern and rich filling, then the Volkswagen Tiguan in a modest configuration, but bought for 700 thousand rubles, will be able to pleasantly surprise you and please with other advantages.

Honda cr-v

Again, not the most obvious option on this budget. Some will say that it is better to take Honda if you have 1 million rubles or more. In many ways, this is the correct position.

But still there are a large number of people who are ready to make concessions in the form of solid mileage and age, but choose the Honda CR-V. There are a number of reasons for this.

This is a reliable and resourceful car with a decent margin of safety. Honda already had economical engines back then. Plus a good finish inside, a spacious interior, a spacious luggage compartment.

For 700 thousand, look at the cars produced in 2008-2009. This is the 3rd generation, and before the restyling. If the mileage has already exceeded 200 thousand km, do not take it. Not very serious problems will begin soon, but problems. It will take a lot of time and effort to devote to the replacement of consumables and repair. If you want to sit down and go, then the odometer should be no more than 150 thousand km.

In Russia, the Honda CR-V of those times was offered with a pair of gasoline internal combustion engines. They have a capacity of 150 and 166 liters. with a volume of 2.0 and 2.4 liters, respectively. Atmospheric, and therefore you won't have to worry about the turbine.For long-term and trouble-free operation, it is important to change the oil on time, as well as fill with good lubricant and fuel.

There are no complaints about gearboxes. The conventional 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic are stable. They do not need special care.

Pay attention to the AWD system. It is important to fill it with the original composition. It's called DPSF2. It changes with an interval of 40 thousand kilometers.

Nissan x-trail

In terms of appearance, there are no complaints about the new generation of Nissan X-Trail. Modern, stylish and attractive design.

The only problem is that this reliable and pretty crossover, even with high mileage for 700,000 rubles, will not work. But you can buy a predecessor.

This will be the T31 version, the second generation. Focus on the 2009-2011 model year with a real mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers. Less is better.

The car received high marks from consumers for its reliability, comfortable and large interior, spacious luggage compartment. If you are ready to put up with not the most fashionable appearance, then feel free to take it.

Basically, in the secondary market for that kind of money, they will offer the Nissan X-Trail with engines of 2.0 and 2.5 liters. They have 140 and 169 horsepower respectively. The turbine is missing. CVT box. Much less often there is a complete set with a manual transmission or automatic transmission.

The machine is exclusively paired with one of the turbodiesels, which were not sold very actively in Russia. From this, there are few offers on the secondary market. Diesel with a turbine raises concerns for some. Although in reality, these 150 and 173 hp engines have special problems and weaknesses. not.

What is best avoided is the 2.0-liter gasoline engine. Piston rings were often found here, and the oil consumption was over 1 liter per 1000 km. Plus the oil flows through the gasket on the sump. With a run of about 150 thousand kilometers, you will definitely have to adjust the valves and change the timing chain.

Mitsubishi outlander

For 700 thousand rubles, it is quite possible to find a second generation Outlander, which received an additional XL index.

The car was produced from 2007 until 2012. Models no later than 2010 and with mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers fall under the specified budget.

In Russia, only petrol versions were officially sold. Diesel was not delivered.

But both 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines are pretty reliable. The timing chain comes with a backlash-free chain, and therefore it does not need to be changed. To prevent the engines from creating unnecessary problems, just change the oil in them every 15 thousand km.

One of the advantages of the Mitsubishi Outlander XL is its ability to digest 92 gasoline with ease. And without any consequences. The main thing is that the quality of the fuel is high enough.

The result is a simple machine. In every way. No striking appearance, unique configuration or equipment, but reliable. You can try to find a version after restyling, but this is more likely with a budget of 800 thousand rubles.

Kia sportage

South Korean crossover, which is worthy of your attention in the secondary market in the presence of 700,000 rubles.

But Korean cars started to rise in price. Therefore, they are now almost the same as used Japanese. That is, for 700 thousand, the Sportage of 2010-2012 is usually offered with a range of more than 100 thousand km. This is the third generation of the model. Moreover, the platform here is the same as that of the already presented Hyundai ix35 crossover.

The choice of engines will be small. Basically, it is a 2.0-liter gasoline internal combustion engine with a return of 150 liters. Combines with mechanics or automatic. Diesel with 136 hp is much less common. The Sportage has good engines with 184 and 261 hp. with., but we have not officially presented them.

Please note that between 2010 and 2011, the Sportage had manual transmissions replaced under warranty. Therefore, if you come across a variant of those years, specify that the seller knows about it.

Externally, the Kia Sportage is one of the most attractive and modern crossovers in the collection. The interior is also well equipped. Yes, the model has its sores. Not most of them are eliminated for little money.

The buyer himself must make the final choice when buying a used crossover for 700 thousand rubles. But the presented selection with the main nuances, strengths and weaknesses of the machines can make it easier to make a decision.
