The best used crossovers under 600 thousand rubles in 2021

When planning to buy a crossover, you always need to start from the budget. And here the available amount for the purchase is taken into account, as well as the money that the owner can allocate for subsequent maintenance, repair and operation.

Everyone's needs and capabilities are different. Even with an equal budget of 600 thousand rubles, some will want something simple but fresh, while others will prefer an SUV from the category of premium models, sacrificing the age of the car and its equipment.

When choosing crossovers up to 60,000 rubles with mileage, try to choose cars with the least wear on the engine, gearbox and chassis. Shabby interior or light dents on the body can be fixed. But if the car is approaching the need for a major overhaul, buying such a crossover is definitely not worth it.

Rating representatives

Now to the question of which crossovers were included in the rating among used cars for 600,000 rubles.

Taking into account different requests, requirements and wishes, several classes of cars will be presented within this top 10. These are budget crossovers, mid-budget options, and premium SUVs. Each segment has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The rating is presented by crossover models of the following brands:

• Renault.
• Skoda.
• Kia.
• Nissan.
• Suzuki.
• Subaru.
• Mitsubishi.
• Mazda.
• Great Wall.
• BMW.

This gives an excellent opportunity to ask the price and roughly understand what kind of crossover in used condition you can take, having at your disposal about 600 thousand rubles.

Kia soul

For many, it may not be the most obvious option. But this used crossover is clearly worth its 600 thousand rubles, and deserves attention.

Immediately you need to start with the fact that there is no alternative front-wheel drive, and the ground clearance is a modest 164 millimeters. You should not count on serious off-road capabilities. But such disadvantages can be forgiven given the benefits available.

But there is an obvious weakness. This is the trunk. Its volume is only 222 liters. If it is fundamentally important to have a spacious luggage compartment, then the Kia Soul is hardly suitable.

At the same time, the Kia Soul has a bright and pronounced appearance. The compact-looking body hides a comfortable and spacious interior. The high roof in combination with the vertical landing allows a person 2 meters tall to sit behind the wheel without any problems. The back row easily fits 3 adults.

Soul offers unique customization options like the Mini Cooper. Only with reliability, the Korean is doing much better.

For 600 thousand rubles, you can safely look for options for the 2010-2014 model year. Moreover, more than 50% of the crossovers sold for this price are restyled versions released after 2011.

You should not take an outdated 4АКПП. Better 5MKPP. Although there are no particular complaints about the operation of the machine.

There are practically no diesel versions. We'll probably have to take a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 124 liters. from. At the motor, the timing chain fails after 120-150 thousand km. This must be taken into account. Seizures often appear on the piston group.

When choosing, be sure to diagnose the engine using an endoscope.

Relatively insignificant disadvantages can be considered not the thickest paintwork, as well as poor sound insulation in the area of ​​the wheel arches. The suspension is a little stiff, but fine for the city.

Kia Soul will be a good choice for girls and women. However, the bright appearance does not prevent men from buying Soul.

Skoda yeti

Selecting the best supported low-cost crossovers with a budget of up to 60,000 rubles, one cannot fail to mention the Czech SUV in the face of the Skoda Yeti.

A very interesting car with an unusual appearance, somewhat reminiscent of a station wagon rather than a crossover. But this is a full-fledged SUV. With all the ensuing characteristics. There is also a ground clearance of 180 mm, plus an all-wheel drive system. Although there are front-wheel drive configurations.

There will be no problems with loading your baggage. Engineers and designers have allocated 405 liters for the trunk.

The car is suitable for those who rely not only on urban use, but also plan to travel outside of paved roads. Due to small lights, solid ground clearance and exemplary handling, Skoda Yeti easily passes many obstacles. And this is possible even with front-wheel drive.

I was pleasantly surprised by the transforming salon. It is divided into 3 parts, each of which can be customized to suit your needs.

In the budget of 60,000 rubles, used Skoda Yeti, which are rightly positioned as the best crossovers for the money, will have to choose among the 2010-2015 models. Ad statistics show that more than 50% of offers are front-wheel drive trims with a base 1.2-liter engine. It has a modest 105 horsepower, but 175 Nm of torque.

There will be many proposals with the DSG robot. If this is a version after 2013, feel free to take it. Earlier DSGs create a lot of hassle. Better a mechanic or a machine gun. Diesel versions are rare. But if you get it in good condition, you can safely take it.

Approximately 20-25% in the indicated budget is Skoda Yeti after 2013. Then there was a restyling. The car was updated externally, the gearbox and the internal combustion engine were finalized. Plus, the quality of the all-wheel drive has been improved.

To keep any maintenance issues to a minimum, opt for the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and Aisin automatic 6-speed transmission. No mechatronics, no turbines, no direct injection, no jerky DSG. But this is an exclusively restyled package.

Among the pre-styling Yeti, the favorite is the diesel internal combustion engine. But it does not occur as often as we would like.

When checking the body, look at the doors and fenders at the bottom. The Yeti's paintwork is not the best. And if corrosion begins to develop, then these areas are usually the first to affect.

Bmw x3

Since the concept of the best crossovers is different for everyone, then in the ranking it is worth looking at premium supported SUVs. With a budget of 60,000 rubles, it is quite possible to count on a non-living copy of the German SUV BMW X3.

Here the uncontested option would be the first-generation German crossover. You need to focus on the 2007-2009 year of release, that is, in terms of age, it is more than 10 years. It is worth considering. The package bundle will be average, closer to the basic one.

There are several motors to choose from. These are gasoline with 218 and 272 horsepower, as well as one two-liter diesel with 177 horsepower. There is only one box - this is a 6-speed automatic. The drive is everywhere on 4 wheels.

Choosing this used crossover for 600 thousand, be sure to look under the plastic panels and overlays. Pockets of corrosion usually appear there. If they are not stopped in time, the body can be lost, or restoration will be very expensive.

The engines are not bad. But there are problems that can be fixed for a lot of money. If you want a petrol version, a 3.0-liter internal combustion engine is better. It has fewer drawbacks compared to its 2.5-liter counterpart. And the service life is longer.

The diesel engine has standard problems for such engines. Plus, the timing chain has a small resource. Plus the chain is installed on the side of the box. You will have to spend a lot of money to replace it.

There are no complaints about the transmission. The ZF automatic transmission has a long service life. Especially after restyling. You just need to change the lubricant on time, as well as buy good quality automatic transmission oil.

The cost of spare parts is pleasantly surprising. As for a car of this status, the purchase of parts is inexpensive.

Compared to modern models from BMW, the interior of the first generation BMW X3 may seem simple. But wear-resistant with good workmanship.

If you decide to take a BMW X3, be prepared to spend a decent amount of service, maintenance and repairs. Age also makes itself felt. But for the sake of the brand and the premium it can be forgiven.

Mazda CX-7

The Japanese used SUV, the Mazda CX-7, has a lot of fans. The car is spacious, high-spirited, dynamic and outwardly daring.Such used crossovers are selling well, and for 600,000 rubles it is quite possible to snatch a good copy.

Mazda will be 2-3 years fresher than the BMW X3. But all the same, the age in 10 years is most likely.

In a really good condition, this car can be taken for 650-700 thousand rubles. But for 600 thousand it is worth trying your luck. And even among the restyled versions. But it will be only four-wheel drive and a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine. The gearbox is also uncontested. There are no complaints about her. It is a 6-speed automatic. It is only important to change the oil on time.

There are no particular complaints about the body. The paintwork is of high quality, corrosion does not appear soon. It is important to note that only Japanese assembly CX-7 was imported for the Russian market.

The situation is worse with the motor. We'll have to look for a live specimen. And this is not an easy task. The motor itself is low-resource, and usually does not go more than 200 thousand km. The timing is still weak. The circuit and phase shifter will need to be changed frequently. The turbine will also not be able to serve for a long time, and its replacement is expensive.

The gearbox, like the chassis, confidently withstands all loads. If you do not overheat the box and do not load the crossover off-road, there will be no special problems with these nodes.

There is no soft plastic inside. But all interior parts are resistant to wear and tear. You will have to put up with the factory soundproofing, or improve it on your own.

Let's be honest, though. The car is good. But it is better to take it after restyling with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and front-wheel drive. And for this you will have to add about 75-100 thousand rubles to the budget of 600 thousand.

Mitsubishi outlander

In general, Mitsubishi has always produced decent crossovers. And among the used options, you can find a live copy for 60,000 rubles. The main thing is that after the previous use they do not kill the engine and do not greatly wear out the chassis.

For the budget in question, you can definitely take the second generation Outlander. He's the Outlander XL. There are also options with the first generation. But this is more than 15 years since the release.

There will be no problems with the choice of engines. But they are all gasoline. They give out from 147 to 220 horsepower. Among the 3 available boxes (automatic, mechanic and variator), the continuously variable CVT looks like a clear outsider. But the mechanics are generally unkillable. The machine requires timely replacement of high-quality oil.

You can also choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

The body is not particularly good at resisting scratches and chips, but there are no obvious weak points where corrosion is actively developing.

Engines for 2.0 and 2.4 liters have no serious congenital drawbacks. Reliable, with a good resource. The 3.0-liter engine is older, but even more reliable. In return, you will have to put up with high consumption and maintenance costs.

During operation, the chassis should not cause any special complaints. Basically, you have to change the stabilizer struts, as well as the bushings.

In the cabin, there is an inexpensive finish and ineffective sound insulation. After 100 thousand kilometers, it is already required to alter the steering wheel and close the worn seats with covers.

The Mitsubishi Outlander has a high level of liquidity in the aftermarket, with the highest demand for the 2.0-liter CVT version. With the same box, you should not take a 2.4-liter internal combustion engine.

Renault Duster

An excellent option for those who do not care about the premium brand, but need a real crossover with good off-road capabilities. Plus another fresh sample, about 5-7 years old, no more. This is Renault Duster.

It is optimal to look for restyled versions. Otherwise, you will have to face numerous innate problems that were found in the pre-reform crossover.

For engines, a choice of 2 gasoline ICEs with 102 and 135 horsepower, as well as one diesel engine for 90 horsepower, is offered. Gearboxes are 5 and 6 manual transmissions, plus one slow 4-speed automatic. Front or full drive. In all these versions, it is quite possible to find Renault Duster for the considered budget.

The body is not painted in the best way. Therefore, in 10 years, you should definitely expect solid foci of corrosion, if they are not immediately eliminated. Plus, some of the joints did not work well with sealing.

It is better to take mechanics from the boxes, and any mechanics. And give up the machine. Weakly accelerates the French crossover. If you often drive on a bad road, load the car and skid, then the automatic transmission will quickly fail.

With all-wheel drive, as well as with the suspension, no problem. At most, you will have to change the rear shock absorbers if it is an all-wheel drive modification, or steering tips.

The salon is frankly weak. In all aspects. Nothing flashy or outstanding. Wears out quickly. But for that kind of money, you can forgive, buy covers, alter the steering wheel.

This is a popular crossover, a real workhorse. A simple and unpretentious car that will cost a little money for maintenance and operation. But in return, expect the corresponding manifestations of budgetaryness.

Nissan Qashqai

There are a huge number of options, starting in 2007. But something younger than 2013 for 600 thousand rubles in good condition in the secondary market is unlikely to be found.

On average, a second-hand Qashqai sample of the first generation costs 60,000 rubles. And look for both pre-styling and updated versions. There are decent examples with minimum mileage and in good technical condition.

The choice of motors is decent. But this is only a range of gasoline internal combustion engines with a capacity from 114 to 141 liters. But the drive is front and rear. There is no automatic transmission. Only 2 types of mechanics for 5 and 6 steps and one more stepless variator.

There are no complaints about the engines. The most reliable is the 1.6-liter unit. But even the 2.0-liter version has the biggest drawback in the insignificant resource of the timing chain. You can change it yourself.

The body is painted with a thin layer, which is why chips and scratches have become the norm for Qashqai. But there are no weak points where corrosion would form actively.

Take the mechanics boldly. Be careful with the variator. There is a box variator JF015E and JF011E. The first comes with a 1.6 liter engine, and the second with a 2.0 internal combustion engine. Take only the second option. The junior variator is not particularly reliable and durable. The older CVT has a minimum of claims. Just try not to get too carried away off-road driving.

The suspension will probably have to be touched. Not so expensive, but troublesome.

The advantages of Qashqai include the liquidity of the model. Excellent value for money and quality.

Suzuki grand vitara

For 600 thousand, you can take almost an SUV in the face of the Japanese Grand Vitara from Suzuki. Moreover, this will be a version of the sample of the first restyling of the 3rd generation. Usually from 2007 to 2010.

Yes, the age will be 10 years and above. Mileage is exactly more than 100 thousand km. But this is not the limit. The frame structure and resource engines allow Grand Vitara to remain alive and well for over 20 years.

The paintwork of the body is decent, there are no weak spots for rust.

From the engines, it is better to take a 2.4-liter internal combustion engine. There is also an option for 2.0 liters. But there is not enough power, and you have to work under load. Plus, in this engine, the timing chain resource is less.

The 4AKPP has nothing special. But it serves for decades with competent service. The situation is similar with mechanics. In an all-wheel drive system, only oil seals can leak. The rest of the design is strong and durable.

The car is controversial in terms of design and equipment. But it's not for nothing that the owners of Grand Vitara do not want to part with it. There are many other and more important benefits. Finding something like that for that kind of money is almost impossible.

Subaru forester

Look for a 3rd generation sample from around 2008. For 600 thousand you will find only a pre-styling version. The mileage will be more than 120-150 thousand in 75% of cases.

But if you find the Forester in good condition, the purchase will fully pay off.

Subaru Forester for Russia was assembled only in Japan. The body practically does not rust, and the paintwork does not require updating for a long time.

Among all the engines of 2.0 and 2.5 liters from competitors, it is Subaru Forester that offers the most reliable internal combustion engines. But the 2.5-liter version is worse than the younger engine. It's simple. The 2.0 motor was squandered and we got 2.5. Therefore, the cylinder walls turned out to be noticeably thinner. This is the whole catch.

Four-wheel drive rarely requires attention. Mechanics and automatic machine are equal in terms of resource and problem-free.Serious dynamics from the automatic transmission should not be expected.

The pendant is made to last. Only the stabilizer bushings and the struts will have to be changed.

Salon at Subaru Forester is called Spartan. Nothing extra. There are not enough bright and original elements. But as practical as possible.

Great wall hover

And here you should consider 2 models at once. These are H3 and H5.

Decent Chinese crossover for little money. With 600 thousand, you can safely search for fresh versions no later than 2012. There are even good examples of the 2014-2015 model year. The mileage is unlikely to be more than 100 thousand kilometers.

Yes, there are complaints about the body. Medium painted, plus there is no galvanizing on the metal. But there are no obvious foci of corrosion. If you notice rust in time and remove it, the body will last a long time.

The motors are fine. Largely due to the fact that 2.0 and 2.4-liter Japanese engines from Mitsubishi were taken for the Chinese crossover. Diesel is better not to take. The cylinder head gasket often burns out. Moreover, in the area of ​​100 thousand km.

The mechanics are reliable and simple. The machine here is Korean, from Hyundai. You can safely take it. The only problem is that the Korean automatic transmission is combined only with a diesel internal combustion engine.

One of the main advantages of the two Chinese crossovers is the frame chassis. Like the steering unit, they serve for years, they do not have any obvious weak points.

The interior is mediocre and the upholstery wears out quickly. But fixing it is easy and inexpensive.

The Hover is one of the few Chinese crossovers that has gained widespread acceptance and consumer confidence. Therefore, this Chinese is definitely not worth fearing. If the brand is not fundamentally important, you can find an excellent Hover for 60,000 rubles.

On this, the range of crossovers in the secondary market with a price tag of up to 600 thousand rubles is not limited. But the presented models sell and buy well. Consumers know their strengths and weaknesses.
