The best SUV that is not adapted to Russian roads may not be a powerful car that can drive everywhere, but an ordinary car. Therefore, when choosing a car, it is better to focus on the opinion of those who tested them in our country. So, what models does it make sense to pay attention to, based on world experience?
Everyone knows that SUVs are divided into classes: light, medium-sized (seven seats for passengers and an engine capacity of 2.5 liters) and full-size (engine of 3.5 liters). And in every class, the best SUV can be revealed.
In terms of reliability, Ford Explorer is distinguished in the full-size range. This model was originally not designed for fast driving, but was distinguished by significant cross-country ability. For use in Russia, it is worth buying a sample with a six-speed “automatic”, a 3.5-liter engine with 294 hp. You can choose either front-wheel drive or 4x4 intelligent all-wheel drive system,which reconfigures the vehicle parameters (gas, brake, traction control, gearbox, etc.) so that optimal movement parameters are created for the “snow”, “sand”, “downhill” or “dirt” modes. The Russians, as fans of fast driving, will like the maximum speed of the model - up to 230 km / h and acceleration to "weave" in 8 seconds.
Specialists believe that the best mid-range SUV is also not produced in Russia. This is the Volkswagen Tuareg, a luxury car. Its owners, starting from the year 2007, can use the ABS-plus system, which shortens the braking distance on sand, gravel, snow by 20 percent. The car also has cruise control with systems that scan the side “blind” zones. The modern Tuareg is equipped with a rear-view camera, a gasoline or diesel engine (up to 5.0 liters / more than 300 horsepower), has lightweight modern materials in its body that make it easier to manage this "colossus" and save on fuel. It is considered by some to be the best SUV in the world in terms of comfort, thanks to heated seats, central locking, an audio system, high-quality speakers and many other useful and pleasant things.
From the cars of the "light" class, Honda CR-V is singled out. The car has a mass of up to 1542 kg, depending on the type of engine, body length up to 4.5 meters. The ground clearance of the latest models of the brand is not very high - 16.5 cm,which orients this vehicle more towards operation in comfortable conditions than in the middle of fields and forests. But in terms of the interior, you can really say that this is the best SUV, well, or one of them. The luggage compartment of the car has a volume of almost 1670 liters, a high-performance on-board computer is installed in the cabin, and under the hood there is a 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 150 hp. Cars are equipped with a "smart" system "Real Time 4ViDi", which gives low fuel consumption, unusual for an SUV.
If you return to the vastness of our homeland, you will find that in a number of areas only the coolest off-road vehicle of the GAZ-2975 type, which is an army transport, can drive. This "monster" can accommodate 10 people, rises above the ground (mud, snow, etc.) by 40 cm. It does not drive very fast on the highway (up to 135 km / h), but it can climb a mountain at an angle of 45 degrees or move ford up to 1.2 meters deep. The car takes on board one and a half tons of cargo and can drag the same amount in a trailer.
