The modern automotive market is full of offers for every taste and financial opportunity. And Chinese SUVs have occupied a worthy niche in it. Today, cars from the Middle Kingdom are in great demand and are very popular: their external data is quite modern, and the technical equipment is guaranteed by the installation of the main Japanese-made units. This symbiosis has borne fruit: immediately after the appearance on the market, the cars became sales leaders not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.
SUV models from China
Today, in the segment of the automotive market that is responsible for the sale of SUVs, Chinese manufacturers of several concerns presented their models. These are brands that have become popular, such as Cheri, Great Wall, Dadi and BAW. Over the past five years, sales of these cars have grown tenfold. The Russian consumer trusts the Chinese manufacturer more and more.
Models of these machines traditionally repeat the most famous brands, all the necessary options are also available. All this contributes to the fact that motorists are increasingly looking at the products of Chinese companies. In addition, modern drivers are accustomed to changing cars quite often, which means that they are no longer worried about indicators such as durability and wear resistance of parts. And if so, then the acquisition of such a car as a Chinese SUV is completely justified. It may not serve its owner faithfully for a long time, but its prescribed five or six years will roll without problems.
Specifications of Chinese SUVs
First of all, it must be said that Chinese manufacturers put great emphasis on equipping their cars with all possible options and bells and whistles. Typically this is:
1. Availability of ABC.
2. Power mirrors.
3. Climate control or air conditioning.
4. Seat adjustment.
5. Airbags.
6. Handlebar adjustment.7. Fog lights.
These are general characteristics, depending on the model, they may vary. The choice of Chinese-made SUVs is quite wide, but the Russians already have special preferences. Now we will give the top list of the most bought models.
Great Wall Hover H5
The new Hover model has become more streamlined and modern, and slanted headlights and a wide apron have given it audacity. Patency onRussian roads Great Wall has long proved. Thanks to a rigid body and high ground clearance, these Chinese SUVs (photo below) can easily overcome any obstacles on Russian off-road. The car is equipped with Mitsubishi engines, which characterizes it as a completely reliable vehicle. The Chinese SUV "Hover" costs from 670,000 rubles, the price may vary depending on the configuration.
By the way, the novelty is already coming out with an ISUZU diesel engine, and for a car of this weight and volume, this is not superfluous at all. The development of speed has improved: for example, for models equipped with a gasoline unit, the maximum value is 160 km / h, and for diesel engines this figure reaches 165 km / h. But more is not needed, especially when you consider that on all Russian highways there is a concept of speed limits (up to 100-120 km / h). In addition, modern tracks are equipped with video cameras, and all violations are recorded, so it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to shush and accelerate the car to maximum performance.
The new "Hover" fuel consumption on the highway is about 8.5 liters, and this is with an engine capacity of two liters. On urban roads, this parameter may increase slightly. As for gearboxes, this Chinese SUV is equipped with both automatics and mechanics.
Lifan X60
This is a new modern Chinese SUV, which features an attractive exterior. All details are thought out to the smallest detail, thanks to which the machineconfidently competes with the leaders of the automotive market. The engine capacity of this model is presented in two versions: 1.8 and 1.6 liters. In addition, the Lifan X60 has only front-wheel drive, Lifan will not produce models with rear-wheel drive.
Spacious interior means driver and passenger comfort. In addition, the manufacturer added steel strips at the base of the doors, which provides additional security. The presence of ABS and EBD sensors helps to control the movement of the car. Full power package includes window lifts, adjustable seats and mirrors. In this model, the emphasis is on high noise isolation, which is very convenient when driving long distances (it helps to focus).
Chery Tiggo
I must say that Chery is the only pure "Chinese" on the market, that is, the concern does not cooperate with anyone. Among its founders are only Chinese companies. Representing Chinese SUVs in Russia, this manufacturer relies on the most popular models of the European and Japanese car industry. Chery Tiggo is no exception - this is an excellent analogue of the sought-after Toyota RAV 4. The first pleasant moment in the operation of the car in question is a two-year warranty. This Chinese SUV is assembled in Russia, but the brand owner controls the quality.
The model is all-wheel drive and with a manual transmission. The ground clearance is 19.6 mm, which is quite acceptable for an SUV. The maximum speed corresponds to 175 km / h. Price starts frommarks of 645,000 rubles.
JAC Refine S5
Despite the fact that the new Chinese SUV went on sale this spring, hundreds of Russians have already become its owners. The volume of the engine is 1.8 liters. Equipped with a turbocharger, which gives it audacity. The appearance of the machine is quite interesting, and no wonder, because it was conceived as a youth model. The kit includes the most necessary options, and even a few more. True, this "Chinese" does not feel very good off-road (he has a low bumper), but on the city highway he has no equal. LED optics and a bright grille give it leadership and foppishness. The maximum speed is 190 km/h. With a power of 245 liters. With. it consumes only 7.8 liters per hundred. It has a six-speed gearbox.
Geely Gleagle GX7
A very aggressive sport utility vehicle with a DSI 6AT gearbox, which has 20 configurations, has found its fans in the Russian expanses. Its management is so thoughtful (equipped with all kinds of options) that it gives the driver a real pleasure. As for everything else … Everyone knows that Chinese cars (SUVs are no exception) have a number of shortcomings. This is the plastic used in the decoration, which does not differ in any good quality, and some parts that have an attractive appearance, but a short service life. Although, if we take into account the amount that is asked for it (about 680 thousand rubles), thispretty decent car. In addition, the model has good cross-country ability and high sound insulation.
ChangFeng Flying SUV
This SUV has a very representative external data and claims leadership among large cars of this class. Its engine has a volume of 2.4 liters, while the maximum speed that it can reach is 130 km / h. The engine power is not very high - only 103 hp. with., but, thanks to the rigid body and high ground clearance, it has a good cross. Equipped with a five-speed gearbox and runs on gasoline. As for the equipment, here, as they say, full stuffing: electrical equipment on all adjustable parts, central locking, immobilizer, power steering and air conditioning.
ZXAuto Landmark
This is a Chinese luxury SUV, that is, it has high levels of comfort and design, as well as good cross-country ability and sound insulation. Filters at the outlet of the air conditioner, a spacious interior, high-quality music - all this ensures the convenience of movement, both for the driver and for the passenger. The SRS system in this model is represented by four airbags. The reliability of the SUV is provided by the main components that have German and Japanese production. A mechanical 4-speed gearbox is optimal for overcoming off-road. The four-wheel intelligent system also helps on the road.
In general, you canto conclude that if a car enthusiast has a desire to purchase a reliable and inexpensive SUV, then Chinese cars can be an excellent choice. They can easily compete on the track with UAZ-Patriot, and even with Toyota. Now about the cost. Chinese SUVs, whose prices are due to the assembly of some parts in Russia, are not too high. And given that the main components on them are Chinese and Japanese-made, they are completely acceptable.
