Each automotive edition offers readers its rating of SUVs based on certain criteria.
In general, it is very difficult to impartially compile such a list and give someone the palm - the same Renault Duster, being one of the most economical and cheap crossovers, cannot be compared in terms of comfort even with Kia Sportage, not to mention the luxury "Germans" and "Americans". Therefore, we will try to create a more or less objective overall "off-road" rating in various categories.
The story, of course, is worth starting with dear and luxury models. We will not consider such as the Dartz Prombron and other piece SUVs produced in single copies- Take those cars that are mass-produced. Therefore, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6 × 6 tops the rating, the production of which was launched in 2013.
This four-door, three-axle pickup truck is based on a military model, but is more comfortable and exclusive design interior. It is equipped with a bi-turbo gasoline engine 5.5 liters, developing a power of 536 liters. With.

The interior is luxurious. In addition to the leather interior and natural wood inserts, a full power package is installed inside, on-board computer and various multimedia devices. The Mercedes G63 AMG is also equipped with many passive systems, including tire pressure monitoring and efficient system damping. Naturally, you have to pay a lot for this, so buying an SUV will cost about $615,000.
And in 2019, it is planned to release the expected BMW X7, the price of which will be equal to 130 thousand euros.
budget
Considering that not everyone can afford luxury, it does not hurt to consider cars that are in the lowest price segment. When compiling the rating, not only the cost was taken into account, but also driving performance with reliability, so the ruler budget models heads the domestic Chevrolet Niva.
Equipped with permanent all-wheel drive, a manual transmission and a 1.7-liter engine, the Chevrolet Niva in minimum configuration will cost approximately $8400. For a more equipped version with improved interior trim, power accessories, air conditioning, ABS and alloy wheels you will have to pay about $ 9600.
car demonstrates excellent cross and quite popular among fans active rest in Russia, those who can afford to have a “fishing car” undoubtedly buy a Chevrolet Niva.
Equipped with a 109-horsepower diesel engine and manual transmission, this budget crossover consumes only 5.3 liters per 100 km in suburban mode, which allows you not to think about reducing consumption. Petrol versions do not participate in the rating - for a volume of 1.6 and 2.0 liters they consume a lot of fuel. In 2014, a version with an automatic transmission appeared, but it does not participate in the rating, because the outdated automatic transmission is too smooth and increases consumption by about 0.4 liters.
Compact
Small dimensions of most modern SUVs and crossovers – a nod to busy city traffic, lack of parking space and rising emissions requirements harmful substances. That is why compact models have recently become very popular.
With its ultra-compact dimensions - and the length of the car does not exceed 3.8 meters, Jimny is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed. automatic and gasoline engine volume of 1.3 liters per 85 liters. With. and a torque of 110 Nm at 4100 rpm.

And on the third place Opel Mokka, whose body length is 4.28 m, equipped with a 1.4 liter turbocharged engine.
Dimensional
Given the propensity of Americans for gigantomania - just remember their modified BigFoot SUVs - there was no doubt that the first TOP-10 in the ranking of overall jeeps would be headed by "Americans". But, in reality, one hundred percent "German" and "Canadian" got into the top three.
This is a huge four-door frame pickup truck weighing over 11 tons, 7.96 m long and more than 2 high. .
This monster can be equipped with all-wheel drive, automatic transmission, 6.7 and 6.8 liter turbocharged diesel engines, 7.2 liter petrol engines and a 6.8 liter gas-powered unit.

We have already considered, but today we will talk about the best SUVs in terms of price-quality and other aspects, such as design and reliability, and in the end we will decide which SUV is the best. Recently, for the sake of comfort, modern automakers have been sacrificing even the main indicator for an SUV, its cross-country ability, however, one cannot but rejoice that there are still models that can show their best even in stock.
These are the best jeeps in the world, the list of which we provide in this article. Let's start our top 10 best SUVs with brands and models that are known to almost everyone in our country.
Even in the stock configuration, the car shows very serious off-road qualities, and with an optional set of parts off road Adventure II, he becomes a real conqueror of gullies.
Modern modifications of the Grand Cherokee are assembled on the basis of a platform that was developed jointly with Mercedes engineers. But more this car is suitable for driving on roads, as it is a crossover.
At the same time, the car retained its recognizable appearance, and its acquisition will not cost a fabulous penny, which makes it good option for those who are looking for an affordable SUV, but categorically do not want to consider domestic options.
Nissan Frontier PRO-4X - off-road pickup truck
This mid-size pickup truck made it to our top SUVs thanks to its serious off-road capabilities. The pickup is equipped with a lockable rear differential in the configuration with an automatic transmission.
One of the key advantages of the model is the ability to deliver not only passengers, but also an impressive amount of cargo on the rear platform, however, in the fight for the title of the best SUV, this plays a far from decisive role.
Land Rover LR4 (Discovery) - inexpensive, but passable
Over the past few years, you can see that this well-known British automaker has gone a long way towards “SUVs”, which are not very good at grinding off-road and are intended more for imposing driving on highways. It is for this reason that all modern innovations from Land Rover are equipped with independent suspension.
However, Discovery has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, which could carry it into the best SUVs in the world. They are assembled in the optional Heavy Duty kit, which includes anti-skid TCS system, lockable differentials and a normal spare tire.
Toyota FJ Cruiser - an alternative to the Land Cruiser
Can compete for the title of "best SUV in the world" and our guest from the land of the rising sun, mainly due to the excellent heritage of "Kruzak". The short base will not give softness under normal conditions, but for off-roading it is what you need.
In addition to this, the car has a high ground clearance and short overhangs. However, not the best visibility and the lack of a full set of locks in the basic configuration allowed him to take only seventh place in the mix of the top 10 SUVs. Although you can often see the FJ-Cruiser on the roads, so this is a fairly popular SUV.
Mercedes G-class is really the best SUV
We decided to award sixth place in the top 10 SUVs, which has been produced for more than half a century and has serious military roots. Of course, with modern modifications, there is not much left from the progenitor, but the car still pleases with its reliability and sane driving performance.
Why is it not the most best jeep on our list? Because it costs a lot of money, so it is practically not rolled out off-road, if we are talking about the AMG version, and ordinary G500s are rolled out off-road only in this way. But in Moscow, Gelendvagens are quite popular SUVs.
UAZ - an SUV that is not a pity
But the "domestic manufacturer" with pricing policy everything is simpler, so the best SUVs, according to many patriots, are very often used for their intended purpose.
This is facilitated by the classic all-wheel drive with locks, good reliability and the ability to carry out field repairs with almost improvised means. It is for this that fishermen, hunters and those who have to work not with roads, but with directions, love UAZ.
There is UAZ Hunter and. Of course, these cars need skillful hands because a lot of defective parts come straight from the factory.
Lada 4x4 "Niva" - an inexpensive SUV
Another representative climbed to fourth place in the top 10 jeeps domestic auto industry. Of course, in terms of the level of comfort for the driver and passengers, this car can only compete with the UAZ, but in terms of off-road work, its performance has long earned respect from many.
The relatively low mass and good geometry allows the Niva not to drown where even more serious cars. For the average person, the cross-country ability of the car is more than sufficient.
Toyota Hilux - reliable and nimble pickup
Another not the newest, but very serious representative of machines that are able to survive everything that falls to their lot. Hilux takes third place in the top 10 jeeps, not "by pull", but based on the results of many years of operating experience.
The old modifications of this car were very ascetic in terms of comfort, but they were simply monstrous survivability and maintainability, thanks to which they can be found on the go even now, moreover, in such conditions in which any other car has long been sent to a landfill. Even heavily overloaded, this pickup pulls itself out of the mud quite easily on all-wheel drive, and with some refinement it turns into a real off-road king.
Hummer H1 - the legendary large SUV
Choosing the best SUV in the world, it was quite difficult to decide who would become it - a Hummer, or a car, which will be discussed below. H1 was created as a vehicle off-road for the needs of the US Army, and its first samples entered service already in 1985.
Until now, the machine has been successfully used in all military operations and has earned a huge mass. positive feedback. As for its off-road capabilities, they leave many of the best SUVs far behind. It’s just a pity that its new modifications have turned into thick SUVs, so the first place goes to ... In general, it will be very expensive to get a Hammer in normal condition now, so we can’t say that these are the best SUVs, but we will include them in our list, so be.
Jeep Wrangler - inexpensive, light, good off-road
Yes, the title of "the best jeep in the world" is given to the same JEEP. This car has become a real legend, and its name has become a household name. The story began with army SUV, capable of delivering not only infantrymen, but also light guns, or other cargo to places where they have not even heard of roads.
Against this background, it is no less pleasant to realize that traditions are honored to this day, so the new Rubicon continued the work of its predecessors. great geometry, powerful engine and two lockable differentials in the base make it a serious competitor on any off-road.
The best SUVs in terms of design - Infiniti QX80
But to be honest, you can’t just take it and say which SUV is the best.
For example, in terms of design - the best SUV - Infiniti QX80, even though it is not cheap, basic equipment this model costs 4,250,000 rubles, and if there are additional options, then the price may rise to 8,000,000 rubles.
But on the other hand, this car is reliable, gives a lot of joy behind the wheel. You don’t really want to drive into the dirt on this car, but in fact, it can. Most importantly, this SUV is large and considered elite, its appearance immediately attracts attention.
In the cabin, everything is expensive and beautiful, it is clear that a premium car costs serious money. Excellent ergonomics, every detail in its place. Both inside and outside it is clear that the car is unique, so buying such a car you can really stand out from the crowd, whoever wants it.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - the best SUV in terms of reliability-price
But in terms of reliability, the best SUV is the Toyota Land Cruiser 200. This car is hard to kill, even old copies still drive, successfully overcome impassability, if necessary. Appearance it is not as elegant as the Infiniti, so it is not a pity to drive it off-road.
The Land Cruiser 200 is also an expensive SUV, the basic equipment will cost 3,000,000 rubles, but it is simple, there are large buttons in the cabin, a lot of space.
The suspension is soft, when you drive this car, you can not notice whether there are pits or not, the suspension evens out all the pits, so the comfort in the cabin is constantly maintained.
In general, we have decided which SUV is the best - moreover, its new version has already been released.
Article about the 10 most quality SUVs for the roads of Russia, their characteristics. At the end of the article - interesting video about the most passable all-terrain vehicles in Russia!
The content of the article:
Absence good roads- this is the eternal Russian misfortune. And when choosing a car, you can not ignore this factor. After all, you need to purchase a car that can move without problems on domestic roads. Moreover, one should not forget about the harsh climate and unfavorable conditions of some regions of Russia. In this case best car becomes an SUV.
Rating of the best SUVs for Russian roads
Let's start with the domestic auto industry. Russian SUVs are great for Russian highways. They have many advantages: availability, low cost, maintainability. In addition, driving through copses and mud is more profitable on budget car than in a foreign jeep, the cost of which is comparable to the cost of a good apartment.
However, Russians are often dismissive of local cars. What can not be said about the "well-fed" Europe. For example, in the UK there is an amateur club Russian car industry, in which the Niva is the most popular.
This passable car perfect for our area. Many foresters use the Niva, as they often have to move along difficult forest roads. And for this you need a car with modest dimensions. In this SUV, you feel a live connection with the car, as you can hear the work of all the details. Foreigners don't have that.
To increase the cross-country ability, you can install large "mud" wheels, vetkootboynik, additional lights on the "Niva".
This is the most deserving domestic SUV. This car was created in the distant war years. During the years of stagnation, these machines served with dignity Soviet army. They easily traveled both on asphalt roads and impassable mud.
Now there are many new modifications of the UAZ: "Patriot", "Pickup", "Hunter", "Patriot Sport", which are perfect for Russian roads. The owner of such an SUV is not afraid of potholes or potholes. UAZ will withstand everything.
As a rule, such SUVs are not bought for trips in the metropolis, this is impractical - fuel consumption is high, and it is not possible to use the full potential of an SUV. These machines are more suitable for countryside, rally, trophy-raids.
The only insurmountable obstacle for "bobiks" (as UAZs are affectionately nicknamed by the people) with ordinary tires are very deep ruts, since the ground clearance of these cars is small.
This american SUV Not just big, it's gigantic. This is the embodiment of megalomania, a demonstration of a great love for abundance. Few cars (and especially SUVs) can boast a length of 5.7 m.
In the cabin of this SUV, you can even put a chest of drawers. In a huge luggage compartment You can place many different things. True, such a pleasure costs about 5 million rubles.
This car has a 6.2-liter V8 engine that can turn off four cylinders. Up to a hundred, the car accelerates in 6.7 seconds. The consumption of this luxury car is very impressive - 14-15 liters of 95th gasoline per 100 kilometers. The six-speed automatic can be controlled using the paddles.
Meanwhile, during Escalade controls there is no feeling that you are driving a truck. Even a woman can handle this SUV.
In a word, this luxury car all is well, except for its small clearance (205 mm). On a real off-road road, he can lose some of his beautiful body kit. But for the city during the slush, this car is ideal.
This vehicle can be equipped different engines. But most often, buyers choose a car with a gasoline three-liter V6 178-horsepower engine. This engine is cheap, structurally simple and willingly "eats" the domestic 92nd gasoline, when the rest of the SUVs give only the 95th. At the same time, traditional platinum iridium spark plugs on such fuel they can easily withstand 100 thousand kilometers.
Many owners complain about sluggish dynamics. Acceleration to hundreds will take 13.6 seconds with a 5-speed automatic, and a second less with “mechanics”.
If there is asphalt under the wheels or even snowy road, the transfer case selector can be set to the 2H position, after which the SUV will become rear-wheel drive. If ice patches interspersed on dry pavement, you can easily connect the front axle, even at a speed of 100 km / h. If suddenly on our roads they start to slip rear wheels, then the viscous coupling will "compress" the center differential and increase traction on the front wheels. If this is not enough, then you can firmly block the center axle with a lever. In a word, this car will easily overcome all the hardships of our roads.
The dimensions of this SUV are also impressive. When this car is driving in the left lane at high speed, many motorists in the adjacent lanes feel uncomfortable. On the track, this 2.7-ton SUV is obedient, efficient and easy to train.
For such large cars, the word "cross-country ability" does not mean the same concept as for the "Niva", which its owners also consider large. However, in comparison with Infiniti, the Niva seems just a toddler. This car is great for mud, snow and more. domestic roads. In addition, the driver and passengers will absolutely not feel the pits that occur on the tracks. Infiniti QX56 will easily overcome them.
The ground clearance is large enough, so the height of the suspension is not adjustable. It is unlikely that this car will not be able to overcome some kind of road obstacle.
Introduced to the general public back in 2003, he immediately showed himself strong, comfortable car with great smooth running.
Although he got from the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 all-wheel drive system and a 6-speed "automatic" with a reduction gear, the SUV is built on a completely new platform. The driver can independently adjust the suspension with a simple push of a button: raise the body on bad terrain, lower it on the highway during an increase in speed.
Thanks to frame structure, lockable center differential, ABS, traction control system, hard braking, anti-skid system and other assistants Lexus GX is able to overcome any terrain in any weather conditions. Premium and Luxury configurations additionally have Multi-terrain Select system, whose programmed algorithms adapt undercarriage car under different types road surfaces.
Equipped with a 4.7-liter 296-horsepower V8 engine, the Lexus GX is one of the most dynamic and fast SUVs.
And again, the brainchild of the Japanese car industry. Short overhangs, huge wheels and a clearance of 24 cm with enough short base provide this SUV with excellent geometric cross-country ability. That is why this car is ideal for lovers of off-road driving. And in Russia there is more than enough of this off-road. Dashing around rough terrain this car help reliable suspension, as well as an arsenal of various off-road vehicles.
Even a schoolboy will be able to understand how the plug-in all-wheel drive system works. The system understands the intentions of the driver in fact from a half-word. After connection front axle the traction control system is immediately disabled. When the low range of the transmission is engaged, the lock will automatically turn on center differential. With "antibuks" VSC and ABS will be disabled. In critical situations, you can easily lock the rear cross-axle differential.
In a word, Toyota FJ Cruiser will pass everywhere. But even in Russian realities the off-road qualities of this car are unlikely to be fully useful.
By by and large, the maximum task for this car outside the paved roads will be going to the forest for a picnic. Therefore, the entire outer lining is plastic.
The bronze place in our ranking goes to German car Audi Q7. This is the first car built on the modular MLB Evo platform, which allowed to slightly reduce the weight of the SUV. The curb weight is less than two tons.
The gasoline engine easily accelerates Audi to hundreds in 6 seconds. The maximum you can squeeze out of this car is 250 km/h. Driving this car is a pleasure. The eight-speed automatic shifts very smoothly, which ensures confident acceleration. There will be no problems with braking either. Six-piston calipers work reliably, so you can drive around any potholes smoothly. "Ku-seventh" is indifferent to the flaws of the Russian road surface.
True, the expense is not happy. The declared 9.4 l / 100 km can be safely multiplied by two. Perhaps that is why 94% of Audi Q7 sold in Russia were equipped with diesel engines.
Such an SUV costs 4.85 million rubles. But if you abandon the panoramic roof, cameras all-round view, Bose acoustics and other not very important options, you can invest in 4 million. Quite a normal price for such an SUV.
Of course, this rating could not do without iconic Mercedes. This is a prime example of a business class SUV. Representative and graceful, but at the same time powerful and reliable car, which is appreciated by many owners.
All-wheel drive system, as well as electronic stabilization will allow you to move with the same comfort both in urban mode and in Russian off-road. The electronic "stuffing" of the SUV makes the movement as convenient and safe as possible. At the same time, the car is economical. In short, it is ideal for city driving and in harsher conditions. It is often purchased by lovers of extreme sports and travel.
Gold goes to this particular mini-tank. No other car will bring so much pleasure from off-road driving, swamp, mud. Even the harshest conditions Hummer can handle with ease, as this is his native environment.
Due to the extended wheelbase, it demonstrates excellent stability on the road, while providing comfort for passengers. The wide track and the wheels placed at the corners provided the car with excellent cross-country ability. The second "Hammer" has a permanent all-wheel drive Borg Warner with a demultiplier, which allows you to pull a fairly heavy SUV out of mud or sand drifts.
The Hammer is equipped with an anti-slip system that simultaneously controls the operation of all wheels. If one wheel suddenly loses traction, the system will automatically shift all the work to the other wheels. And this will happen until the entire load is taken on by one wheel, clinging to the roadway.
To move around deep snow or loose sand, when the wheels only row, but do not push the car forward, the TSC2 system is provided, which blocks the traction control system.
In principle, the Hummer H2 was designed to work in difficult conditions, so he is not afraid of Russian roads.
Summing up
No matter how much Russian roads are criticized, their quality is still gradually improving. Therefore, any of the above SUVs will provide comfortable movement. Moreover, often these cars will be used half the force.
