The analytical agency AUTOSTAT presented a study of the Russian secondary market for passenger cars. Experts studied the sale of crossovers and SUVs with mileage and determined which models are most popular with domestic car owners.
Introducing top 5 most popular used cars among SUVs and crossovers 2016 year.
5. Land Cruiser Prado
The market volume for 10 months is 25.6 thousand copies.
According to the owners, this cross-country SUV is like the Russian UAZ, only without Russian flaws in the form of a poor-quality assembly. You can operate "in the tail and mane" and change only consumables. And then sell on the secondary market, dig and buy a new Land Cruiser Prado.
Disadvantages: fuel consumption, about 20 liters with a 4 liter engine. And also this car is one of the most stolen in Russia.
4. Toyota Land Cruiser
The market volume for 10 months is 27 thousand copies.
Another Japanese SUV, combining massiveness with reliability, high cross-country ability with a comfortable ride, quality with durability. The Japanese do not make cars "just to drive." Their brainchild should “ride and ride,” and then drive a little more so that the children of the car owner pass the car to their children. The engine starts in any frost, there is climate control, the interior is covered with leather, there is a heated rear seat, and sound control in time will warn about an unfastened seat belt. The machine, as they say, "for people."
Minus: in the city it will take from 20 to 23 liters of fuel per 100 km, on the highway - from 13 to 15.5 liters.
3. Toyota RAV4
The market volume for 10 months is 31.4 thousand copies.
Once again, the product of the Japanese automobile industry is in the ranking of the best-selling used SUVs and crossovers. At speeds up to 140 km, the crossover behaves very confidently, with a higher one it is better not to “wag” along the road. The suspension is reliable, but harsh. The interior material is scratch resistant, which will be appreciated by those who carry children or animals. Riding comfortably even over long distances, even in the driver's seat, even in the passenger seat. On a diesel engine, fuel consumption on city roads is about 8 liters, and on the highway - 6 liters.
Disadvantages: the trunk is small, but it can be "increased" if you remove the rear seats.
2. Chevrolet Niva
The market volume for 10 months is 55 thousand copies.
A beautiful, convenient and easy to maintain SUV with excellent visibility and good cross-country ability on mountain roads, ice tracks and ravines. In the back seat can accommodate 4 people, without feeling like a herring in a bank.
Disadvantages: noise and vibration of the transmission, the engine is low-power and prone to overheating. Accelerates slowly, but it is difficult to expect from a massive off-road vehicle of high agility.
1. LADA 4 × 4
The market volume for 10 months is 80.8 thousand copies.
The leader of the top 5 best-selling SUVs with mileage of 2016 is loved by Russian motorists for several reasons. These include: high landing, flotation, low (compared with other participants in the secondary market) price, availability of spare parts, high ground clearance (205 mm), ease of repair. Large hills, snowy tracks, primer - Lada 4x4 will overcome everything.
Minuses: most owners note a large "gluttony" of the car (from 12 liters and above), corrosion, poor sound insulation.
Compared with the period “January-October 2015”, the volume of the secondary market for crossovers and SUVs in Russia grew by 15%. Apparently, during the crisis, more and more residents of the Russian Federation are saving on new cars, preferring to buy, even second-hand, brands that have been tested by time and Russian impassability.
