And just as surely it falls short of the level of premium cars. And this means that the owners of such capital can count on the purchase of a car with an optimal ratio of value to quality and other components that determine the value of the car, including the popularity and prestige of the brand.

One of the few representatives of the compact crossover segment in the South Korean brand's lineup, it was initially focused on the North American and domestic markets, but has become especially popular in Europe. About 200 thousand of these cars are sold annually around the world, which is a clear confirmation of the correctness of the inclusion of Hyundai Tucson in the list of the best cars for 1,800,000 rubles.

At the same time, for the indicated amount, you can become the owner of the Lifestyle all-wheel drive configuration, and this is already a serious level of equipment, with 4 airbags, a large number of assistants, dual-zone climate control, front / rear parking sensors and other options.

For our budget, you can become the owner of all configurations, except for the top "Prestige Safety".

Mitsubishi outlander

The mid-size crossover is a long-liver in the market: the first generation began to be sold on the domestic market back in 2001. The current third generation is characterized by the same swiftness, reliability and unpretentiousness in operation, as the model of the previous generation, which was considered the benchmark in its class.

For 1,800,000 rubles, you can purchase a new car in the basic Inform configuration (five-seater body without all-wheel drive). For the 4WD version, you will have to pay 150 thousand, and seven-seat modifications are even more expensive. However, even in the initial configuration, you will receive good equipment - full power accessories, front airbags, single-zone climate control, a steering column adjustable in several directions, light / rain sensors, an audio system with 6 speakers, a solid 21.5-centimeter ground clearance.

And here there is a sea of ​​possibilities for the selection of a car with the desired set of options. The only unpleasant moment is that such ratings quickly become obsolete due to inflationary processes, so if you have free funds, you should not hesitate with a purchase - money depreciates faster than movable property.
