Top 10 best cars worth up to 850 thousand rubles

According to the statistics, the price range of 750-850 thousand rubles is the undisputed leader in terms of the number of new passenger car sales. What does this mean? It's simple: the psychological barrier of 1 million for many Russians is an unattainable dream, and it is this figure that is the current benchmark in the pursuit of a decent car. Does this mean that those who have not managed to accumulate the coveted million will no longer get a good car?

Not at all. There are enough decent models even today, despite the inflation rates typical for the automotive industry, and we are talking about tens of percent per year. Yes, in the current list there will not be many models available a year or two ago, but instead of them new ones appeared or already known, but after restyling. In short, it's time for you to get acquainted with the updated rating of 2021, compiled taking into account the recommended retail prices, excluding discounts and reseller promotions.

Kia picanto

A nice compact hatchback of the third generation, belonging to the class "A" according to the European classification, tops the top 10 new cars for 850,000 rubles. The model is not new - its premiere took place in 2017, but in 2020 a serious restyling was carried out, and by autumn the updated Picanto became available in European car dealerships.

However, the changes did not affect the technical component, but the hatchback completely got rid of the three-door design, becoming a little larger and receiving several new options. By the standards of the compact segment, the car has a fairly roomy trunk (255 liters), which can be increased to 1015 liters by folding the rear seats.

Kia Picanto is equipped with two gasoline engines, the base is a 67-horsepower 1.0-liter power unit, which is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox, a more powerful 1.2-liter 84-horsepower engine is combined with a four-band automatic. Unfortunately, for 850 thousand you can buy only the initial Classic configuration with a liter engine. And even if the car can not boast of special traction or dynamics, the consumption will definitely please you: in the combined mode it is 4.4 l / 100 km, and on the highway - 3.7 liters, while the maximum speed of the hatchback is 160 km / h.

As for the configuration, it is not bad: two airbags, ABS / ESP / HAC / ESC systems, a light sensor, air conditioning, an audio system with four speakers, heated windscreen washer nozzles.

Skoda Rapid

The most affordable Czech car is a B + class liftback with good looks and a comfortable interior, equipped with reliable motors and a good range of options.

The second generation of the five-door was first shown in 2019 in St. Petersburg, and almost immediately after the premiere, the model began to be assembled at the Kaluga plant. Although the Czechs call the liftback "fundamentally new", in fact there are not so many changes compared to the first generation - the platform, like the range of motors, remained intact. But outwardly, the car has really changed a lot, becoming similar to the Scala hatchback, and the interior has been radically updated. Now, belonging to the “B +” segment can be considered formal, since the size of the car is quite consistent with the golf class. This can be judged even by the volume of the trunk (550 liters).

As for the range of engines, the car has two of them: a 1.6-liter aspirated engine, boosted to 90/110 horsepower and a 1.4-liter 125-horsepower turbo engine. A 90-horsepower power unit, namely, it is installed in a configuration available for 850 thousand rubles, is combined with a five-speed manual gearbox. The consumption of a liftback with such a pair in the combined cycle is 5.8 l / 100 km, along the highway this figure is noticeably lower - 4.6 liters per hundred kilometers.

The Active package includes two front airbags, ABS / ESP / ESC systems, a multimedia center with a 6.5-inch display, electric power steering, an audio system with 4 speakers, front power windows, LED optics and other options.

Chevrolet spark

In third place in the list of the best cars of 2021 for 850,000 rubles is another compact urban hatchback of the Uzbek assembly.

The third generation Chevrolet Spark is characterized by a modern "faceted" exterior, so the car cannot be called purely feminine. Inside, it is as pretty as outside - not only the thoughtful arrangement of all interior elements, but also the good quality of finishing materials, affects. True, the roominess is not so good here, and if two adults are not crowded in the "gallery", then the trunk is frankly small - only 170 liters.

Under the hood of the car is a 1.2-liter 85-horsepower naturally aspirated engine, which is paired with a four-band automatic. "Maximum speed", however, is sufficient for confident behavior in the city and on the highway - 160 km / h with an average consumption in the combined cycle of 7.2 l / 100 km.

For 850 thousand rubles, you can become the owner of two out of three complete sets, while in the LS version you will have access to four front airbags, air conditioning, heated and electrically operated exterior mirrors, electric power steering, front power windows, an audio system with four speakers.

Renault Sandero

The second generation of the compact French hatchback underwent restyling and made it to Russia in the summer of 2018. Despite belonging to the budget price category, the car looks nice and modern. Without any bright memorable details, but also without inconsistencies and contradictions. Note the hatchback's pretty decent ground clearance: under full load, it is 15.5 cm, which many expensive sedans do not have.

The interior is ergonomic and well thought out, although the quality of the finishing materials corresponds to the cost of the model. Behind three passengers of average build it will be cramped, but the trunk here for a hatchback, and even a compact segment, is decent - 320 liters, expandable to 1200.

Under the hood of the car there are 1.6-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 82/102 / 113 horsepower. There are two transmissions - a five-speed manual box and a four-band automatic. Consumption, depending on the engine and transmission, in the combined mode ranges from 6.5-8.6 l / 100 km.

All three configurations fall within our budget. In the top one you will have access to 4 airbags, air conditioning, cruise control, a multimedia system with a seven-inch display, full power accessories, heated windshield and front seats and other modern equipment.

Brilliance v3

Closes the top five of the best new cars up to 850,000 rubles, a Chinese compact SUV, which has been rapidly becoming more expensive lately. Even the "favorite" of Russian motorists, Duster, has already come close to the million mark. Nevertheless, it is still possible to become the owner of a car with pronounced off-road characteristics.

The Brilliance V3 is a pretty cute crossover designed by Pininfarina. There is no four-wheel drive here, and the ground clearance is below average for the segment - 17.0 cm.But the cabin is spacious, including the rear sofa, and the trunk volume is not bad - 455 liters, which can be increased to 1200 liters with the rear seats folded down.

The engine is only one - a 1.5-liter 107-horsepower naturally aspirated, which is combined with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. Automatic crossover modifications for our budget will not be available. The engine cannot be called too economical; paired with a manual transmission, it consumes 7.0 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle.

The Comfort package, available for 850 thousand rubles, includes front airbags, rear parking sensors, air conditioning, full power accessories, leatherette seat upholstery, an audio system with 4 speakers, and electric side mirrors.

Chevrolet cobalt

This compact B-class sedan left the Russian market in 2015, but returned five years later without undergoing significant changes either in appearance or in the technical component. Nevertheless, the car looks good, although it does not really stand out in city traffic. Exactly the same budget and simplicity reigns in the cabin, the quality of the facing materials corresponds to the cost, but there are no complaints about the level of assembly. Much here resembles the Aveo, including the rear and front seats, and there are full-fledged seats with 2 headrests behind, the third passenger will definitely be uncomfortable. The trunk for a compact sedan is large - 545 liters.

The engine compartment houses a 1.5-liter 106-horsepower engine, which is assisted by a five-speed manual gearbox or a modern six-speed automatic. The consumption for the modification with the manual transmission is 6.5 l / 100 km, for the version with the automatic transmission - 7.6 liters.

True, complete sets with an automatic machine will not be available to us, but we will be able to purchase a medium modification LT, which includes 2 airbags, air conditioning, power steering, heated front seats, and front power windows.

Chery tiggo 3

The seventh place in the rating of cars under 850,000 rubles belongs to another Chinese crossover, which has been assembled in Cherkessk since 2017.

The SUV looks modern, it is easily recognizable thanks to its characteristic profile with a flat roof line and a sloping bonnet. The clearance of the "adult" crossover is 19.0 cm. It is comfortable and spacious inside the car, the finishing materials are not premium, but of good quality. The volume of the trunk is 520 liters.

There is no four-wheel drive in the car, and a single 126-horsepower 1.6-liter engine is hidden under the hood, which has a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable variator. Modifications with CVT cost more than 850 thousand.

Chery Tiggo 3 in the Comfort package is equipped with two airbags, rear parking sensors, full power accessories, air conditioning and other options.

Renault Logan

The budget French B-class sedan is quite popular in Europe, and even in Russia, the car does not graze the rear in terms of sales. True, apart from an affordable price, there is nothing special to boast of the Renault Logan: neither a rustic and slightly outdated design, let alone technical equipment. The only noticeable advantage of the cabin is that it is spacious, with a 510-liter trunk.

The range of car engines includes two 1.6-liter power units (82 and 113 hp), which are aggregated with a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-band automatic.

In the top-end configuration, the list of available options is not bad: 2 airbags, air conditioning, full power accessories, cruise control, heated and electrically powered side mirrors, power steering.

Lifan x50

The ninth place belongs to another Chinese SUV, which the manufacturer positions itself as a “youth crossover”. In fact, this is a raised hatchback without all-wheel drive, but with a solid ground clearance of 20.8 cm.

The exterior of the car is not outstanding, but without noticeable inconsistencies, the interior matches the exterior - the interior is original, but not everyone will like it. Plastic is inexpensive, but pleasant to the touch, the interior cannot be called spacious - in the back, three adults will feel cramped. The volume of the car trunk is 570 liters.

The 1.5-liter 103-horsepower engine is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, and a continuously variable variator is also available in the top-end configuration. Consumption for the manual transmission in the combined cycle is 6.3 l / 100 km, for the variator - 6.5 liters.

This is the only model in our rating that is available in the most sophisticated configuration (2 airbags, a rear view camera, rear parking sensors, air conditioning, multimedia system, full power accessories).

Datsun mi-DO

The only representative of the automotive industry from the Land of the Rising Sun closes the top 10 new cars up to 850,000 rubles. True, it is only half "Japanese", since it was designed on the basis of "Kalina". Hence the budgetary cost of the hatchback.

Already at the first glance at the car, kinship is guessed, but inside the hatchback has the same decoration as the on-DO sedan, and it cannot be called original. Finishing materials are frankly cheap, the front seats are almost flat, the back is cramped, and the trunk is small - only 260 liters.

Under the hood of the hatchback there are 1.6-liter "VAZ" engines with a capacity of 87/106 "horses", which function in tandem with a five-speed mechanics or a four-band automatic. The consumption according to the passport ranges from 6.6-7.7 l / 100 km with a mixed driving mode, the "maximum speed" for the younger engine is 160 km / h, for the top-end one - 180 km / h.

This is one of the cheapest foreign cars: the most "sophisticated" Dream equipment with an automatic transmission will cost 730 thousand rubles, and for this money you will get a car with 4 airbags, climate control, electric power steering, full power accessories, rear parking sensors.

We hope our small review will help you decide when buying a car for up to 850,000 rubles. Yes, you cannot buy an SUV, as well as a station wagon or a coupe, but sedans, hatchbacks and crossovers are widely represented. The only thing is that it is quite possible that by the end of 2021 some models will rise in price so much that they will not be able to keep within the considered price range.
