The best crossovers of 2021 up to 3,000,000 rubles

The popularity of crossovers in Russia can hardly be overestimated. And the reason for this is not only the notorious Russian roads. Cars of this class are comparable in size to hatchbacks, surpassing them in power and size of the luggage compartment, and in cost - with sedans, only slightly inferior to them in terms of comfort. Today we will get acquainted with the rating of the best new crossovers that can be purchased in Russia in 2021, counting on a total budget of no more than 3 million rubles.

Infiniti QX50

The Japanese compact crossover belongs to the premium segment, fully consistent with the reputation of the brand itself. With an excellent appearance, the city SUV has the most technologically advanced filling and boasts a very roomy interior.

The second generation of the crossover was first presented to the public in 2017 during the Los Angeles Auto Show, after which the car participated in auto shows in Shanghai and Detroit, and only after that it appeared in car dealerships.

Note that the predecessor of the first generation had rear-wheel drive, which became front-wheel drive with the change of generations, there are also all-wheel drive modifications.

This is an ideal candidate for the title of the best family crossover up to 3 million rubles: it has a ground clearance of 22 cm, which is rare for cars in this segment, while 895-1045 liters of luggage can be loaded into the trunk (the rear seat can move back and forth on a sled). And if they are completely omitted, the volume of the luggage compartment will grow to an impressive 1,700 liters.

With a 250-horsepower two-liter engine, the car is not very gluttonous, consuming about 8.5 liters of gasoline in mixed mode.

In the domestic car market, the car is presented in five configuration options, but, unfortunately, the top two are too expensive and do not fit into our range. But the initial "Pure" (from 2.8 million) and "Luxe" (from 2.9 million) are good - even in the basic configuration, for example, there is a dual-zone climate control and leather interior.

Jaguar E-Pace

The British car brand is not as popular in our country as the same Infiniti or Lexus, and in vain! We gave the second place in our top list of the best crossovers for 3 million rubles to a compact SUV, which, in addition to being premium, has the practicality of a real crossover and the power of a sports car.

In the summer of 2017, at the "bride" in London, the company presented its smallest SUV, which traditionally has a distinctive and rather aggressive exterior. 20.4 cm of ground clearance and all-wheel drive are enough for most of the needs of an ordinary resident of a modern metropolis, making periodic, but regular forays into nature. Moreover, the trunk of the car is quite roomy - 578 liters. When the "gallery" is folded, the volume of useful space for the carriage of luggage increases to 1235 liters.

The car is available with two engines: a two-liter diesel power in the range of 150-240 "horses" and a consumption of 5.6 l / 100 km and a turbocharged gasoline of the same volume (2500-300 hp), consuming from 7.7 l / 100 km.

In domestic showrooms, Jaguar E-Pace is available in five trim levels. For 3 million rubles, you can purchase the first four modifications, depending on the selected power unit, which has a significant impact on the price level. But even in the base, the crossover is equipped very well.

Land Rover Discovery Sport

Among the three best crossovers available at 3 million rubles, there is also a premium SUV in the compact segment, representing the famous British brand famous for its SUVs. It can be argued that this particular model is the "entrance ticket" to the club of car owners of this prestigious brand.

The last large-scale modification of the smallest "SUV" of the brand was made relatively recently, in 2019, but the designers managed to make the car remain recognizable.

An ideal crossover for a family with several children in a seven-seater version has a trunk with a volume of 157 liters, but with the third row folded down, the volume of the luggage compartment grows to 898 liters, which is already a very solid indicator. By folding the second row of seats, you can increase it to 1,795 liters.

About engines. There are two of them, gasoline and diesel, both two-liter turbocharged. The gasoline power unit has a capacity of 200-250 liters. from. and consumption from 8 l / 100 km, diesel develops 150-180 "horses", burning from 5.7 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km of track.

Although our car is offered in seven trim levels, for our budget we can only purchase the basic Standard version with junior engines (for 2.93 million for the gasoline version and for 2.94 million for the diesel version).

However, you will be satisfied with the equipment - this is dual-zone climate control, 7 airbags, fully LED optics, full power accessories and other "chips".

Audi Q5

The compact SUV is no stranger to the list of new crossovers worth up to 3,000,000 rubles: the second generation Q5 was presented in Paris back in 2017, but this premiere turned out to be the most anticipated at this event. The car reached the European consumer only in the winter of 2017, and the start of sales in Russia fell on the spring.

The car turned out to be great: its appearance was made close to the corporate dress code, the dimensions were increased, equipped with new power units and many new options. Like the Infiniti QX50, the rear sofa can change its position, so the trunk volume also has a fork in the range of 550-610 liters, and with the "gallery" folded in the car, you can place 1550 liters of luggage.

The crossover is supplied to Russia with a two-liter 150-horsepower gasoline engine, and only the initial Base equipment is squeezed into our budget - 2.98 million rubles. But the equipment of even this crossover is quite at the level: seven airbags, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon optics, rear parking sensors, a modern multimedia system, a tailgate servo, a rain sensor and other "goodies".

Hyundai santa fe

In its category, it is the best-selling mid-size crossover in Russia. The reason is simple - it is much cheaper than the competitors of the leading world car brands, while even luxury complexes fall into the price range we are interested in.

Ranked fifth in our rating of the best new crossovers under 3 million rubles, this five-door SUV has an attractive exterior, a fairly roomy interior and good equipment. The premiere display of the 4th generation Korean SUV took place in 2018, first at home, and then at the Geneva Motor Show.

The all-wheel drive crossover has a not very impressive ground clearance - 18.5 cm is not enough for the Russian off-road, but on dirt roads it feels confident. A seven-seater car has a very small trunk with a volume of only 130 liters, but with the third row folded down, we get 625 liters, and if we remove the second sofa, we get an impressive 2020 liters, one of the best indicators in the class.

Although the model is equipped with a large number of power units, only two are available in Russia: an 188-horsepower 2.4-liter gasoline "aspirated" with a consumption of 9.3 l / 100 km, and a 200-horsepower 2.2-liter turbodiesel (7, 5 l / 100 km).

For an amount of 2.69 million rubles or more, you can become the owner of the most expensive configurations, Premier and High-Tech with leather interior, full LED optics, all-round cameras, navigator, electric drive of the fifth door and front seats and other modern options.

Kia sorento prime

Another Chinese mid-size SUV is currently considered the flagship in the crossover category, with all-wheel drive, presentable exterior, spacious and comfortable interior, good driving parameters and equipment.

One of the best and best-selling crossovers in Russia in 2021 worth up to 3,000,000 rubles was first demonstrated to the automotive public in 2014. In domestic car dealerships, the third generation of the SUV appeared in the summer of 2015. It is assembled in Kaliningrad, adding the prefix Prime to the name, which, as it were, hints that the model belongs to the premium category of the vehicle.

The clearance of the Sorento is the same as that of the Santa Fe, 18.5 cm, the volume of the luggage compartment in the seven-seater version varies between 125-1662 liters, in the five-seater - 660-1730 liters. A full-fledged spare tire does not take up free space, since it is suspended from the outside under the bottom.

In 2018, the model underwent a restyling, which did not turn out to be too radical. The base power unit is a 188-horsepower 2.4-liter gasoline engine, the top-end is a 200-horsepower 2.2-liter turbodiesel that burns 6.5 liters of fuel in a combined mode. The gasoline engine is much more voracious - 8.9 l / 100 km.

For 2.79 million rubles, you can choose a copy of the Prestige configuration, for 2.9 million - the Premium version, and only the charged modification of the GT Line costs a little more than 3 million rubles.

Lexus NX 200

Another model of the premium Japanese brand closes the 2021 rating of the best crossovers for 3 million rubles. The compact SUV debuted in Beijing in the spring of 2014, and in the summer the novelty appeared in Russia.

Our car is quite popular, in 2020 it entered the top five best-selling cars in its class. Largely due to the bold appearance even for Lexus, impetuous, with a lot of edges and sharp corners. With a ground clearance of 18.5 cm, the SUV has a decent trunk (500 liters), which can be tripled by folding the second row of seats. Under the hood, the NX 200 has either a two-liter 150-horsepower gasoline "aspirated" or a 238-horsepower turbocharged unit of the same volume. The first gasoline consumption is 7.5 liters, the second - 8.8 l / 100 km.

Domestic motorists have the opportunity to purchase a crossover in 4 trim levels, but the top-end Luxury costs more than three million. The cost of the basic Standard version starts at 2.56 million rubles, and for this money you will get front-wheel drive, rear parking sensors, two-zone "climate", 8 airbags, a start-stop system and many other options.

Which crossover to choose

The answer to this question will not be unambiguous. The fact is that the leaders of our rating have a package of options in the initial configuration, which, by and large, is comparable to the equipment of the top versions of the lower part of the list. Are you willing to overpay for a brand that affects the prestige of the model? If so, your pick is at the top of the top. Note that these crossovers will be more reliable, but also more expensive to maintain. If you want, you can search the network for 2020 rankings in terms of sales volume and focus on them, but you need to take into account that they become outdated rather quickly.
