Seven available cars for picnics and fishing. What SUVs are suitable for off-road

What are they, the best SUVs in the world in terms of cross-country ability for 2015? Modern motorists will readily answer that these are models of modern SUVs that optimally combine design, technical characteristics, and comfort. It is hard not to agree with this statement, but nevertheless we offer you our rating, which includes not only modern "big" cars, but also those who are commonly called legendary.

A jeep that was created for the needs of the army in an incredibly short time. However, this did not affect his abilities in any way and allowed him to gain immense popularity. Its weight was just over a ton, it was characterized by a carrying capacity of 250 kilograms and was equipped with a four-cylinder power unit, the engine displacement was 2.2 liters, its power reached 60 hp, and maximum speed was equal to 104 km / h.

Nobody, we hope, will argue that BMW knows how to build cars? So we won’t, but only present the X5 model, which can be safely nominated for the title of “Most Cinematic Jeep”. Basic in the manufacturer's line in relation to given model is a 3-liter Twin Turbo engine, which has an in-line arrangement of six cylinders. It is characterized by the ability to produce 306 hp, and the maximum torque is 406 Nm, it is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The power plant allows the car in 6.2 seconds. overcome the mark of 100 km / h.

Hummer h1

Ideal for Russian open spaces. One significant disadvantage- this is fuel consumption - 30 l / 100 km. Won't enterprising summer residents find such a volume to fill such an impressive unit?

As always, Americans love to experiment with technical filling auto. So in this model, the designers went on a bold experiment - they equipped an unremarkable pickup truck with a Viper engine. As a result, practical car with a body differs 700 hp

Despite the fact that this car was originally developed as a jeep for the Austrian army, the creators managed the incredible - it fell in love not only with the military, but also with farmers, businessmen and sheikhs. serial version equipped with a power plant with 12 cylinders, its power is 517 hp. This is a versatile Jeep that impresses with its power, dynamics and looks amazing at the same time.

True legend Soviet car industry. If you need a visual designation for the term "SUV" - then this is it. The jeep was equipped with a 2450 cc power unit. see, the return of which is 75 hp. at 4000 rpm, torque - 166 Nm at 2200 rpm, in urban mode, fuel consumption is 10.6 liters, maximum speed is 100 km / h.

In addition to being powerful, it is also very stylish in appearance. This jeep is associated by many with the main character of the series "Brigade" Sasha Bely, who effectively fired from his hood. As for technical information, everything here is on the level - 12 cylinders, 500 hp. power. Agree, for 1982 this is incredible, in relation to an SUV.

Video Lamborghini review LM002

One of the best, if not the best racing jeep. Perfectly proved itself in the conditions of both Russian and African off-road. In total, the company uses seven various modifications engines: these are turbo diesel engines with a volume of 3 liters V6 TDI (engine power is 204 hp and 240 hp); a 3.6 FSI six-cylinder petrol power unit that is capable of delivering 249 hp. and 280 hp; eight-cylinder engine, turbo diesel, which has CommonRail direct fuel injection, has a working volume of 4.2 liters and a power of 340 hp; hybrid installation, the first in the history of Volkswagen, which consists of a 47 hp electric motor. and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder petrol unit TSI power 333 HP

With its appearance, this jeep is very reminiscent of a toy, which, nevertheless, does not prevent it from surprising with its technical characteristics, and they are as follows: power point, which is supplied with the model for American market, capable of delivering 215 hp. power at 5400 rpm, the design includes six cylinders, the engine displacement is 3.5 liters, the torque is 310 Nm at 3000 rpm.

Over the past 20 years, the market for frame SUVs has grown significantly. Of course, the variety of harsh "rogues" is not as great as, say, sedans or other asphalt lovers, the fact of growth is obvious.

Obviously, if there are people who are willing to pay for a car that can climb a mountain or drive them along a broken path to a cool place on their favorite lake, then there must be an offer.

We will not discount the modern fashion for off-road vehicles. let it be fashion mostly generates frameless crossovers, but still do not underestimate this positive effect for the off-road class (and it is certainly positive).

In general, SUVs are alive and well - either a new model is released, or a veteran leaves the assembly line forever. Another thing is interesting - who is the best in this family?

It's no secret that the criterion of leadership is far from the only one - here you have the price / quality ratio and comfort and dynamic characteristics, but we will turn to the main (?) of them - off-road qualities.

We note a few points - only production models relevant for 2012-2013. In addition, the concept of "off-road" is subjective. For some, this is a sandy beach or a swampy clearing, while someone does not recognize anything other than a trip along abandoned rocky paths like a mountain goat for off-road.

TOP 10

The most passable SUVs

10.

Off Road Adventure II Limited Package includes air suspension Quadra Lift, skid plates, towing hooks and other goodies useful for cross-country driving. Also, the pluses include new platform(joint development with Mercedes-Benz), high suspension and an adequate price.

Perhaps the only mid-size pickup truck from Nissan worthy of entering our chart. PRO-4X has impressive all-terrain potential compared to full-size pickups Japanese company, as well as a rear differential lock and in models with automatic transmission. Its carrying capacity will also come in handy.

8.

Land Rover could become synonymous with off-road vehicles, but found real glory to the city "SUVs". This, in general, determined the further path of the British manufacturer. The newer models use fully independent suspension, which adds to the fun on the road, but doesn't add much to off-road traction.

Despite this, Discovery has in its arsenal one of the best traction control systems (TCS) in the world, on which it goes into the category of excellent off-road vehicles. And if you dig through the dozens of traditional LR luxury options, you'll find the extremely useful Heavy Duty package, which adds a rear locking differential and a full-size spare wheel.

Modern remake of the original Toyota Land The Cruiser FJ40 has a short wheelbase, high ground clearance and excellent climb/descent angles. Quite enough for off-road testing. Cons — poor visibility.

Buying an Off-Road package to it, you get a rear differential lock, Bilstein shock absorbers and a cool instrument cluster on the panel (compass, inclinometer and outside thermometer).

6. Nissan Xterra PRO-4X

Once this SUV was lost in the shadow of the old leaders, but the global restructuring of the market makes us look at it in a different, better light. In some ways, Xterra is almost the last representative of the generation of off-road vehicles of the 90s. Yes, a little dated, but very passable, and the PRO-4X package brings a much-needed locking differential to the design.

If you have picked up gigantomania, but there is no possibility / desire to buy a Hummer, then the Ram Power Wagon will serve as a good alternative. For lovers of off-road vehicles, it will be a good sign that the design of this big man uses units from the legendary Wrangler Unlimited - automatic deactivation of the anti-roll bar and differential lock. The presence of a winch, navigation lights on the roof, short-wave CB radio and unprecedented brutality complement the picture favorably.

4. Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road

This hunting pickup truck is known for its durability and simplicity. In the TRD Off-Road version (at a hefty price), the Tacoma comes with Bilstein shock absorbers, extra skid plates and, most importantly, a rear locking differential and a high seating position.

In 2012, Ford updated its sand dune conqueror with a front off-road washer camera on the Raptor, which really helps in difficult off-road areas, especially when climbing up hills with a high angle of inclination. Add here the front differential and almost unkillable suspension - that's a healthy American all-terrain vehicle. In addition, the appearance of a pickup truck will appeal to most representatives of the stronger half.

In 2009 year Toyota breathed life into the 4Runner line by releasing the 5th generation of the harsh "rogue". The Trail Runner package received increased clearance, a rear locking differential, a Multi-Terrain Select system for driving on various types road and off-road coverage. And innovation system Crawl Control, which allows the all-terrain vehicle to crawl at a snail's pace, but confidently and inevitably crawl over almost any terrain. The 4Runner’s off-road ability also includes the proprietary KDSS dynamic suspension system with automatic adjustment of anti-roll bars depending on current driving conditions.

1.

Are you surprised? We, too. Legendary Jeep Wrangler is synonymous with off-road and off-road thunderstorm. In 2012, he only strengthened his position, thanks to the appearance of a 260-horsepower V6 in the range.

Axles Dana 44, impressive clearance, great off-road tires, two locking differentials, automatically disengaged anti-roll bars and, as a result, an ultra-high cross-country ability.

This roundup of the best SUVs is for fans long trips and travel. Moreover, not only along tourist routes and roads. common use, but also far away beyond the boundaries of civilization to picturesque places, where without special equipment not reach.

For these purposes, off-road vehicles are perfect. But it is worth paying attention that not all SUVs on the market will cope with off-road, but in modern realities, cars capable of driving where a person’s foot has not entered can be completely counted on the fingers of one hand. This is understandable, most people have enough of the usual "SUV" for trips to the country. But this is not enough for everyone - today we will consider real off-road monsters that are not afraid of dirt and obstacles on the way.

Currently, the SUV segment, both in Russia and in the world as a whole, is one of the fastest growing segments of engineering (in common people, cars are called jeeps). Automobile companies strive to update their models as often as possible and present new items. Currently, you can choose an SUV for every taste and budget. The range of prices in this segment is the most extensive, ranging from budget options to premium versions. That is why, experts recommend that before buying an SUV, you will get acquainted with all the pluses and minuses of the car you like.

• Frame SUVs- these are all-terrain vehicles in which the body is attached to the chassis with the help of a frame. This type of construction is used only in real SUVs and distinguishes them from "SUVs". In such cars, the engine and chassis are attached directly to the frame, and the body is dressed on top. The prominent representatives of this group in the Russian market are the Jeep Wrangler (by the way, it also made it into our rating).
• Advantages of frame SUVs: a more durable running gear, easier to recover from traffic accidents, while driving off-road, the load is evenly distributed between the frame and the body.
• Cons of frame cars: the presence of a frame significantly increases the weight.
• SUVs with load-bearing body structure: in such cars, the body is attached directly to the chassis. Most of the off-road vehicles on the market today are made exactly according to this principle (the best representatives of this group are Land Rover Sport).
• Advantages of load-bearing SUVs: Acceptably low weight.
• Cons: the body is subject to increased mobility when driving on serious off-road, which often leads to cracks in the "front".

• First of all, before buying an SUV, you must decide for what purpose you choose it - you plan to drive it on serious off-road, occasionally go to the dirt road in countryside either by sandy roads. Or maybe you plan to make family trips on it. Deciding what better SUV to buy to solve certain problems, it is necessary to determine the approximate budget. Note that the budget should include not only the price of the SUV itself, but also subsequent expenses. Such expenses include: insurance, CASCO, road tax and Maintenance. Not infrequently, the cost of the first year of maintenance of a car is almost a third of its basic cost.
• In addition, decide on the choice of a specific brand (each brand has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages), and also decide which engine your car will be equipped with. Petrol powertrains are more adapted to Russian realities, diesel engines are more economical. If you are looking for an inexpensive SUV, then the diesel engine is the best option for you. In our review of the best SUVs for Russia, we will take a closer look at the most attractive top ten.
• When deciding which SUV to choose, you should be guided by patency, dynamic characteristics, equipment, as well as how the car behaves on the track (is it stable on the road, does it roll too much in corners). Therefore, before buying, be sure to take a test drive, as a result of which all the pros and cons will appear. And it is best to conclude an agreement on a test period of use, for example, for one week. Then you will have a real opportunity to test your iron friend in certain conditions.
• After you have decided on a specific model of an all-terrain vehicle, pay special attention to the configuration, since its final cost directly depends on this. The price tag for the most affordable equipment of the same model and for the most “charged” one differs significantly. If later you want to add some option, then it will cost a pretty penny. Choosing from the proposed trim levels, decide whether you need an all-wheel drive system, differential lock, adaptive cruise control, leather trim, navigation, and so on. Each of these options is expensive.

Officially: British SUV is recognized as the best off-road vehicle of all presented on the Russian market. The annual national award of the auto business summed up the results for the current year, within which the TOP-5 were named best cars. The first place went to the luxurious Range Rver Velar. Recall that for the first time Velar entered the Russian market in the middle of autumn last year, and during this time, thanks to its rich technical equipment and comfort has already become very popular with Russians.

Rating of the best SUVs for Russia

When compiling the rating, not only the patency of the vehicles was taken into account, but also the overall reliability of the design. After all, no matter where the equipment goes, it must return back. As well as the level of comfort for the driver and passengers play an important role. Because some old UAZ can handle off-road perfectly, but driving a hundred kilometers on it is a dubious pleasure.

All participants in our review are located not in connection with some merit, but in terms of cost - from cheap to more expensive premium cars.

Great Wall New H3

First to Russia mid-size SUVs Great Wall New H3 was brought four years ago. But during this time, the car has not lost its relevance at all, moreover, it has become very popular.

Reliable cars that have become the best in their segment do not always stand up to competition and satisfy buyers with their price. Productive technologies require development and updating costs. It is because of the high price that many leaders leave the SUV rating, despite their reliability, excellent cross-country ability and other positive qualities.

The best jeeps in terms of price and quality

Reliable representatives of the world of jeeps today are also evaluated by buyers in terms of cost. Often, an inadequate price discourages a potential client from even considering an SUV as a purchase. Appreciating the unsurpassed quality, but also looking back at important indicator prices, we can distinguish such leaders in their segments:

• Chevrolet Niva - a joint Russian-American development at a cost of up to 500,000 rides well and shows good performance;
• Jeep Grand Cherokee- passable and very high-quality large jeep with premium performance and great value;
• Toyota Hilux- japanese pickup with passable car functions, excellent design and high quality assembly, much cheaper than competitors in the SUV class;
• Suzuki Jimny- optimal purchase up to 1,000,000 if you need real jeep with a very robust design.

Looking at the price of all the presented models, you will notice that they belong to different categories. This SUV rating invites you to look not at competitors, but at the leaders of subclasses, which have become the best offers in any narrow segment. It is enough to read customer reviews to understand all the features of these machines.

Comparison of the best jeeps in the world in terms of reliability

If you want an exceptionally high-quality SUV, and you don’t care how much such an acquisition will cost, it’s time to look at the SUV rating for reliability and potential. Of course, the price of such cars will make even a wealthy buyer think, but the performance of the cars is incomparable:

• Toyota Land cruiser 200 - a symphony of reliability at a very reasonable cost, great car for all occasions;
• Lexus LX 570 - the premium brother of the previous representative of the class with a more expensive finish and a frank improvement in comfort;
• Nissan Patrol - excellent new competitor in the luxury car class high traffic and excellent reliability;
• The Ford Explorer is a large American SUV with amazing workmanship in every detail.

This segment of jeeps can also include Cadillac Escalade, but the new generation of this car is still little studied. The company has made too many changes that need to pass the test of buyers and experts. So for now, this premium car is stuck on the edge of the ratings and is not the leader of any segment.

The best representatives of 2015

The price of cars continues to rise this year, so you need to quickly choose a car and buy it today. Any SUV ranking would look different in 2014 than it does today, proving a significant change in automotive world. Considering all the factors that are important for the buyer of a cross-country vehicle, you can invent another SUV rating based only on the new 2015 model year presented:

• Volvo XC90 - a unique development of the new generation, which will outshine all representatives of the elite class in its segment;
• Skoda Snowman is one of the most anticipated representatives of the European Jeep cohort with good popularity on the verge of release;
• Chevrolet Tahoe - American dream, which completely changed the design features and added power under the hood;
• land Rover Discovery- an excellent line of updated cars of the British company in a compact design with elite technology.

It is difficult to imagine more interesting novelties that await us next year, but there are also a lot of them. Corporations that have seen a significant drawdown in interest in older models are switching their flagships to new design, complement the technique with the most productive options power units. This is an important point that allows you to stay afloat in today's complex market with a high degree of competition.

Summing up

Given the high price of equipment, the buyer today has become even more demanding and selective. The choice of a jeep is based not only on the selection of high-quality equipment with great cross-country ability, but also on more subtle criteria, individual factors. The selection of cars has grown into a fairly complex and complex comparison process, so that many buyers spend months choosing the right model.

Everything is complicated by the presence of a large number of trim levels. Some models in top versions can significantly outperform even the most expensive market representatives in terms of attractiveness. This should also be taken into account when choosing a car, because this way you can significantly reduce the purchase price, but still get a great SUV with all the necessary functions and capabilities.

In order to make trips on far from the smoothest roads as comfortable and fast as possible, there is such a type of car as SUVs. They differ from standard passenger cars in wheelbase, ground clearance, drive, suspension, and dimensions. All this allows the machines to be as efficient as possible even when driving in extreme conditions, for example, off-road, on rocky terrain, etc. The most passable SUVs are best suited for this purpose, they will cope with any road, especially if you put off-road tires.

If you want to buy a car for which there are really no restrictions, it will help you figure out which car to give your preference to. But still, these are cars with limited off-road capabilities. For those who want to really easily drive through a swamp or any other impassable terrain, it makes sense to immediately buy a snow and swamp vehicle, it definitely has no off-road obstacles.

There are many cars in the SUV class, they are presented various brands, but we will talk about the most passable SUVs of all. It is worth saying that the rating cannot be called 100% true, but any car presented in it deserves such a title as the most passable SUV in the world.

• ground clearance, it should be maximum so that the protrusions on the road do not become a problem for the car;
• suspension, it should level out bumps;
• angle of entry, the car should conquer elevations without problems;
• power, of course, what more powerful car, the more extreme conditions it will be able to get out of.

The list that included best SUVs of the world in terms of cross-country ability, opens the excellent Jeep Grand Cherokee. This machine is designed to feel at home even in the most extreme conditions. Its first advantage is relative accessibility when compared with other participants in the rating, but Grand Cherokee is far from accessible in terms of accessibility. Also, the machine has a really high power.

In order to get out of any trouble, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was equipped with towing mounts, so that the car can help other cars get out, and also, if necessary, the mounts will be useful for the jeep itself. Also, the machine is equipped with protective plates to avoid serious damage. The platform on the Jeep Grand Cherokee is innovative, developed jointly with Mercedes, and therefore there is no doubt about its reliability. This is a real SUV for fans of extreme driving, do not confuse with!

Nissan has a whole series of off-road pickups, but only the mid-size Nissan Frontier PRO-4X deserves to be included in the cross-country off-road rating. This machine is equipped automatic transmission gears, which makes it much easier to control. The body of the car will also come in handy: the Nissan Frontier is a pickup truck that has a large payload, and it is never superfluous.

Also, for better handling and patency, the car was equipped with HDS and a rear potential lock. If you want to buy a pickup truck with high cross-country ability, then we advise you this particular car.

We also call the excellent Land Rover Discovery a full participant in the rating. Land Rover has recently stopped producing real SUVs, switching to SUVs, but Discovery can be called one of the best views transport for everyone who loves driving in extreme conditions. It is almost impossible to make the Land Rover Discovery slip, because it uses one of the best traction control systems in the world.

If you choose this model in one of premium trim levels, then be sure to appreciate such important "bonuses" as a spare wheel, a rear potential lock, as well as other options included in the Heavy Duty package. Land Rover Discovery must be present in the ranking, which presents jeeps and SUVs, characterized by increased cross-country ability.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser, which is an upgraded version of the classic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, deserves a spot on this list. Especially if you buy this car with the Off-Road package. This gives you a range of important options, such as the world's best Bilstein shock absorbers, a rear diff lock, and an excellent dashboard, which will inform you not only about the speed, but also about the temperature outside the car, the level of roll, there is also a compass here.

Toyota FJ Cruiser features excellent climb and descent angles, as well as a significantly shortened wheelbase, which adds stability to the car. All this allows her to become a full member of the rating of the most passable cars.

The old Nissan Xterra PRO-4X also deserves to be on our list, rather, as the only and best representative of the SUVs of the 90s. Due to the fact that the engineers of the Japanese company refreshed and modernized it, the car can compete with any modern jeep.

In addition, the body allows you to carry quite large loads, which is also a definite plus. It is impossible not to note the excellent technical characteristics of the machine. To overcome obstacles more smoothly, we recommend purchasing a car with the PRO-4X package, which contains all the options for a modern off-road conqueror.

If you want other motorists and pedestrians to immediately see a real man in you, then there is simply no better option than the Ram Power Wagon! This machine is characterized by unprecedented dimensions, which simply cannot be ignored. This SUV is suitable only for self-confident men!

In terms of cross-country ability, the car has everything required characteristics to successfully overcome obstacles: rear differential lock, the presence automatic shutdown stabilizer, as well as a winch, which will be an extreme method to get out of any trouble. Moreover, all these options are inherited from the legendary Wrangler Unlimited, which in itself is a guarantee of quality. The running lights located on the roof also add brutality to the car. Radio lovers will appreciate the shortwave antenna.

Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road has become a real bestseller among hunting enthusiasts, because this machine itself is a real beast. The TRD Off-Road package gives you access to all the "charms" of the SUV: Bilstein shock absorbers, a traditional rear blocker, as well as skid plates that provide maximum protection from damage.

Toyota Tacoma has a high seating position, which will help the driver to get a better view and will be another reason to look down on other road users!

The top three off-road vehicles in the world are opened by the legendary Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. This car was nicknamed "the conqueror of the dunes", was used by the American army as a vehicle for moving through the deserts. Naturally, the Raptor received excellent cross-country ability.

Now the car has become more modern, because it was equipped with an off-road camera that will help you get a complete picture of the terrain and the situation around. In addition, a little work was done on the design, after which this pickup truck became a real king of extreme driving. The suspension here is simply excellent, and the front differential only contributes to better flotation. More than deserved 3rd place for American legend! The most passable SUVs are not only the Ford Raptor, then there are a couple more interesting specimens.

The 2009 Toyota 4Runner, which has been completely updated and improved, also deserves the attention of every true SUV lover. In order to feel the beauty of this car, it is recommended to purchase it with the Trail package, because it is equipped with a Multi-Terrain Select system that will help the car adapt depending on the road surface, KDSS suspension with automatic stabilizer adjustment, as well as increased ground clearance and a locking rear differential.

But the real “trick” of the Toyota 4Runner is the Crawl Control system, for which there are simply no restrictions: you can drive on absolutely any surface! Certainly one of the best representatives SUV class.

The title of "the most passable SUV in the world" undoubtedly deserves the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. For this machine, there is simply no terrain that it could not overcome. Thanks to the reinforced V6 engine with a capacity of 260 “horses”, there are simply no limits for this machine!

Add to this also 2 differential locks, as well as a huge ground clearance will help you cope with any surface perfectly. The Dana 44's axles are virtually indestructible, and the machine's stabilizers automatically disengage when needed. All this allows us to place the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on the 1st place in our rating!
