The popularity of crossovers is growing every year. This situation has also affected the secondary market, where up to 40% of transactions are now made with used SUVs. Cars in this group are distinguished by practicality, reliable engines and off-road capabilities. Researchers from the CarPrice bureau analyzed more than a hundred cars and identified the nine best crossovers with mileage up to 700 thousand rubles.
Renault Duster - French offer in the budget class
This car appears in all ratings that concern budget off-road vehicles. Initially, Renault Duster had a residence permit in Romania, where it bore the name Dacia Duster, but over time, the parent company of Romanian automakers realized that the crossover had a good chance of breaking into the world market. The main features of the modern Renault Dusster are as follows:
- the assembly is localized as much as possible for the sales areas (Russia, Romania, India, Brazil);
- the cost is as low as possible, thanks to customized assembly and tax optimization;
- The buyer will not find any special technologies or refined appearance in the car.
Yes, Renault Duster is a very simple and unpretentious car, which is designed exclusively for the budget class. Model updates occur unnoticed. For example, the fifth generation is already on sale on the European market, although its differences with the first are very difficult to find. The base cost of Duster is 492 thousand rubles.
There is also a Ford EcoSport.
But due to the lack of demand for it, I will not focus on it; I have only had one inspection of a similar car in 5 years. Have you ever seen them on the roads? Or do you know about their existence? Write in the comments.
Korea! Kia Sportage or Hyundai ix35.
I'll keep it short. They could be purchased with a guarantee. And now? And now there are problems in the block and the meaning of the purchase is lost. Only through capital.
And all-wheel drive has its problems.
These are some of the most unsuccessful crossovers to date. But if you are ready for such an investment, then why not buy it? Decide for yourself, because the ride is yours!

Dongfeng H30 Cross - a mature hatchback
The Russian buyer does not like being deceived by offering an ordinary hatchback under the guise of a crossover. But in the case of Dongfeng, a company new to the Russian market, such deception will be forgiven due to the very attractive result of the manufacturer’s machinations. In particular, the company offers the following advantages in its new H30 Cross:
- modern style and notes of sport and aggression in the design of the car;
- amazing engine capabilities of 117 horsepower and 1.6 liters;

This is exactly what the buyer expects from modern Chinese crossovers. However, you should also remember that Dongfeng entered the market not so long ago, there are few reviews about the technology. For 580,000 you will buy a car with a manual, for 650 - with an automatic and some additions to the package. The price turned out to be the most attractive aspect of the car.

For 700 thousand rubles it is quite possible to find a second-generation Outlander, which received an additional index XL.
The car was produced from 2007 until 2012. The specified budget includes models no later than 2010 and with a mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers.
In Russia, only gasoline versions were officially sold. Diesel was not delivered.
But both 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines are quite reliable. The timing belt comes with a backlash-free chain, and therefore does not need to be changed. To prevent engines from creating unnecessary problems, simply change their oil every 15 thousand km.
One of the advantages of the Mitsubishi Outlander XL is their ability to easily digest 92 gasoline. And without any consequences. The main thing is that the quality of the fuel is high enough.
The end result was a simple machine. In every way. No flashy appearance, no unique configuration or equipment, but reliable. You can try to find a version after restyling, but this is more likely with a budget of 800 thousand rubles.

The advantages include: comfortable interior, stylish design, moderate fuel consumption, increased level of safety. Disadvantages: quite high price and expensive maintenance.
Kia Sportage
A South Korean crossover that is worthy of your attention on the secondary market if you have 700,000 rubles.
But Korean cars began to actively rise in price. Therefore, they now cost almost the same as used Japanese ones. That is, for 700 thousand they usually offer a 2010-2012 Sportage with a mileage of over 100 thousand km. This is the third generation of the model. Moreover, the platform here is the same as that of the already presented Hyundai ix35 crossover.
The choice of engines will be small. Basically it is a 2.0 liter petrol engine with an output of 150 hp. With. Can be combined with manual or automatic. A diesel engine with 136 hp is much less common. Sportage has good engines of 184 and 261 hp. s., but they were not officially presented here.
Please note that in the period from 2010 to 2011, the Sportage had its manual transmission replaced under warranty. Therefore, if you come across a version from those years, check that the seller knows about it.
Externally, the Kia Sportage is one of the most attractive and modern crossovers in the selection. The interior is also well equipped. Yes, the model has its problems. Not most of them are fixed for little money.

Which car to choose
When choosing a car, everyone looks individually, so there are no special recommendations. But in order for the car to serve for a long time and reliably, when purchasing it, you should carefully inspect the body, interior, and look under the hood.
It is also recommended to take with you an independent expert who can point out the shortcomings of the SUV. If some features are not important, it is better to buy a car with lower mileage, although here the condition depends on the previous owner.
When purchasing, you should definitely check the documents and legal aspects to avoid problems.
Subaru Forester
For many, this is not the most obvious option with a budget of 700,000 rubles, since Japanese crossovers and SUVs of the Subaru brand, especially used ones, cause a lot of controversy and conversation.
For the budget in question, 3rd generation Forester crossovers are available on the secondary market. These are models from 2007 to 2012.
The bulk of the offerings are a 2.0-liter engine with 150 horsepower and an automatic transmission. A rarer guest in advertisements will be a 2.5-liter version with 172 horsepower.
The big advantage of engines is that they are naturally aspirated. However, the 2.5-liter version is a bored-out two-liter engine. Therefore, under prolonged loads, it becomes more prone to overheating with all that it entails.
By choosing a younger engine, you will experience better efficiency and reliability. But there is almost no difference in power, which is an advantage.
Consider turbocharged engines of 230 and 263 hp in such a budget. With. not worth it. They are short-lived, suffer from oil starvation, and are also usually sold after those who have experienced the capabilities of internal combustion engines repeatedly and under heavy loads.
OPEL MOKKA.
A reliable combination is the Atmo 1.8 l. 140 hp
.
(A18XER)
. Well, how reliable, with all Opel’s sores in the form of ignition coils, thermostat, heat exchanger gaskets. Overall nothing super expensive. However, the suspension is either China or Original. In orig. The price tag is not always humane, and China does not last long. Gearbox or 5speed manual on front-wheel drive, or automatic transmission6 on all-wheel drive.
1.4 turbo (A14NET) 140 hp, as always for everyone,
a more problematic engine than we would all like. Box or manual transmission6 or automatic transmission6. With this engine they were both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
However, it is worth noting
, that the equipment is very good. They have climate control, xenon, automatic high beams, heated steering wheel/forehead. Not a bad choice if you're prepared for some pain. Decide for yourself whether to buy it or not. In my opinion, this is better than Korea, Ford, Renault Duster and Nissan Terrano for the same money!
Nissan X-Trail
In terms of appearance, there are no complaints about the new generation Nissan X-Trail. Modern, stylish and attractive design.
The only problem is that this reliable and attractive crossover, even with high mileage, cannot be purchased for 700,000 rubles. But you can buy a predecessor.
This will be the T31 version, second generation. Focus on the 2009-2011 model year with a real mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers. Less is better.
The car received high marks from consumers for its reliability, comfortable and large interior, and spacious luggage compartment. If you are ready to put up with a far from fashionable appearance, then feel free to take it.
Basically, on the secondary market, Nissan X-Trail with 2.0 and 2.5 liter engines will be offered for that kind of money. They have 140 and 169 horsepower, respectively. The turbine is missing. CVT gearbox. Much less often it comes with a manual transmission or automatic transmission.
The automatic transmission is exclusively paired with one of the turbodiesels, which were not sold very actively in Russia. As a result, there are few offers on the secondary market. A diesel engine with a turbine raises concerns among some. Although in reality these engines of 150 and 173 hp have special problems and weak points. With. No.
What is best avoided is the 2.0-liter petrol engine. Piston rings often got stuck here, and oil consumption was over 1 liter per 1000 km. Plus the oil flows through the gasket on the pan. With a mileage of about 150 thousand kilometers, you will definitely have to adjust the valves and change the timing chain.
