During the period of dacha migration of the population back to the city and preparation for the ski and snowboard season, the portal site analyzed which of passenger cars with a large trunk can be purchased on the Russian market, limiting yourself to a million rubles.

Despite the fact that for Russians in most cases it is the second criterion when choosing a car after ground clearance, there is no rush to buy station wagons in Russia. All because for real available cars In this body we almost never sell: average cost capacious “foreign cars” exceeds seven hundred thousand rubles.

And yet you can purchase a station wagon either significantly cheaper than the specified amount, or significantly exceeding it. We will try to find out what exactly foreign manufacturers offer.

Lada Largus

Engine: petrol 1.6 (90 or 105 hp)
checkpoint: manual 5-speed
Volume trunk: 135-2500 liters
Price: from 376,000 to 449,800 rubles

Although the Zhiguli emblem is on the radiator grille, we all know very well that Largus is a completely foreign development of the Romanian division of the Renault concern, which is known in the world as the Dacia Logan MCV.

Advantages: First of all, the car stands out for its truly huge trunk, which fully loaded can take on board up to 2.5 cubic meters (!) of cargo. But if you sacrifice luggage for the sake of transporting people, then it is the only passenger station wagon that is ready to transport seven. In addition, the suspension and ground clearance of the car withstand the test of our roads with dignity.

Flaws: as the first reviews from owners showed, the main drawback of the car is... domestic assembly. Just minor things so far, but after purchasing the car I was forced to return for service. Largus inherited many ergonomic flaws in the interior from Logan. Lack of automatic transmission, not the most powerful engines, modest configurations and low cost of finishing materials in in this case are a direct result of the most affordable price in its class.

Skoda Fabia Combi

Engines: petrol 1.2 (70 hp), 1.4 (85 hp) and 1.6 (105 hp)
checkpoint:
Trunk volume: 455-1470 liters
Price: from 514,000 to 674,000 rubles

One of the two most compact station wagons presented on the Russian market. Despite its dimensions, it is a full-fledged station wagon with a trunk volume that is not inferior to higher-class cars.

Advantages: impressive trunk volume with modest external dimensions, almost standard ergonomics of the interior and especially the driver's environment make this car extremely convenient for use in the city. In addition, the Fabia has an energy-intensive suspension and well-tuned steering. And an extensive list of options will help you configure exactly the car you need.

Flaws: The capabilities of the base 1.2-liter engine are only sufficient if the load level does not approach the maximum. In addition, this engine, despite its volume, is not an example of efficiency. The modest basic equipment greatly increases in price when adding the desired options. Automatic transmission is only available for the most powerful engine.

Chevrolet Lacetti

Engine: petrol 1.6 (109 hp)
checkpoint: manual 5-speed
Trunk volume: 400-1410 liters
Price: from 517,000 to 575,000 rubles

One of the “guardians” of the station wagon class on the Russian market. The car gained popularity due to its affordable price and good cargo-and-passenger capabilities, for which it was loved by taxi companies, acquiring the status of an unpretentious “workhorse”.

Advantages: most affordable station wagon foreign brand on the Russian market in class “C”. Spacious interior. Good performance of the 1.6 engine. Reasonable cost of service.

Flaws: most small trunk in the class, the lack of more powerful engines in the range and automatic transmissions. When fully loaded, it clearly loses smoothness. As in the case of the Lada Largus, modest basic equipment, cheap finishing materials and poor sound insulation are a consequence of the initially low cost.

Seat Ibiza ST

Engine: petrol 1.4 (85 hp) 1.2 (105 hp) and 1.6 (105 hp)
checkpoint: manual 5-speed and robotic 7-speed
Volume trunk: 455-1165 liters
Price: from 599,900 to 729,990 rubles

Cousin" Skoda Fabia Combi. However, due to changes in the characteristics of the suspension and steering, it is a little more exciting on the road. True, the “unpromoted” brand in Russia and the lack of an aggressive advertising campaign do not help increase sales.

Advantages: Compared to the Skoda Fabia, it has a more aggressive and rapid design, due to which it can attract young buyers. It has an expressive and interesting interior that has not lost any of its ergonomic advantages.

Flaws: due to body changes, it loses to its Czech “colleague” in trunk volume. Expanded basic configurations influenced the increase in starting cost. In addition, Seat does not yet have a developed dealer network, which is why the Ibiza ST, like other models Spanish stamp, remain rare guests on Russian roads.

Opel Astra J Caravan

Engines: petrol 1.6 (115 hp) and 1.8 (140 hp)
checkpoint: manual or robotic 5-speed and automatic 4-speed
Volume trunk: 490-1590 liters
Price: from 624,650 to 756,900 rubles

Advantages: a solid and ergonomic interior made of pleasant materials. Self-sufficient level of equipment even for the basic configuration. Thanks to the stretched base, the Astra J Caravan has a good amount of space for rear passengers and luggage. Reliable power units with sufficient power reserves.

Price: from 634,000 to 897,000 rubles

It received a bright design, a lot of electronic bells and whistles and a traditionally wide range of power units. However, he lost his pragmatic qualities.

Advantages: excellent handling against the backdrop of an energy-intensive suspension. Widest choice combinations of engines, transmissions and trim levels. Extensive list of additional options, including the latest electronic gadgets.

Flaws: not the best large trunk in class. Due to the voluminous center console, the front seats are a bit cramped. Lack of traction on all gasoline engines. Expensive versions with a diesel engine.

Volume trunk: 500-1550 liters
Price: from 709,500 to 928,500 rubles

Another one, the main advantage of which is the harmonious and attractive design. The comfortable interior is also pleasant to look and feel. Otherwise, the car is average in all respects.

Advantages: flexible turbo engines, grippy chassis and convenient system folding rear seats. on additional options. High quality and cozy interior.

Flaws: suboptimal ergonomics and poor visibility from the driver's seat. Due to too “easy” amplifier settings, insufficient Feedback on the steering wheel. The 1.4 Turbo engine, despite its power, is tuned for a quiet ride.

checkpoint: manual 5-speed and automatic 4-speed
Trunk volume: 534-1664 liters
Price: from 709,900 to 799,200 rubles

First completely developed in Europe korean car it turned out to be a success right away and was to my liking, including Russian buyers. True, its cost seems slightly overpriced.

Advantages: one of the largest trunks in the class, good ergonomics, spacious rear seat, good level of equipment.

Flaws: due to a good set of options, the price is initially high, fixed configurations, mediocre dynamics of the only engine in the range.

Hyundai i30 Wagon

Trunk volume: 580-1630 liters
Price: from 749,000 to 999,000 rubles

The largest and roomy station wagon in the “golf” class, it is one of the leaders in terms of the totality of consumer qualities not only in the Russian market, but also in the world. The only pity is that this talented car has a corresponding price.

Advantages: the largest and most comfortable trunk in the class, benchmark ergonomics, spacious interior, good balance of ride and handling, wide range of engines and transmissions.

Volkswagen Passat Variant

Engine: petrol 1.4 (122 hp)

Advantages:: excellent sound insulation and smooth ride, rich basic equipment, attractive design, adjustable ground clearance.

Flaws: small trunk for its class, lack of traction low revs, lack of free space on the back seat for tall passengers.

That's practically full list passenger station wagons that are represented on the Russian market. Russian station wagonsLada Kalina Wagon and Lada Priora Wagondiffer the most affordable price, but were not included in the review due to their domestic origin, andwith a starting price of 1,012,000 rubles, it barely fell within the designated framework.

In any case, even despite the general low sales of cars of this class, their choice is domestic market wide enough to choose a station wagon that suits both features and price.

The demand for inexpensive cars is constantly growing. One of the segments that Russians have become interested in relatively recently is the station wagon body type. Spacious and comfortable cars with large volume luggage compartment and good enough driving performance. Station wagons have always been held in high esteem in Europe, but today the culture of roomy cars has reached our latitudes.

Given this growth in popularity of this segment, we offer you an overview of the cheapest sedans in Russia in 2014. Among the cars there are some very interesting options that are worthy of your attention.

Lada Largus is the twin of the successful Logan

Lada Largus became one of the most unexpected presentations of last year. The AvtoVAZ concern has launched production of a model that Renault corporation I was going to update. The station wagon had already passed years of excellent testing on the roads of Russia and Europe, so Russian engineers could only transfer the proven technologies to their conveyor belt.

This car is not the only station wagon in the Lada model offer. There are also cheaper offers from Kalina and Priora, but we decided to talk about this car with French-Romanian roots. After all, it has excellent features:

• maximum comfort travel, which is significantly different from native Russian cars;
• good power units developed by the French concern;
• availability of a 7-seat option in the model offer;
• good driver ergonomics, comfortable seats for all passengers.

For all its advantages, Lada Largus is not expensive car. Important, that Russian concern did not redo many of the functions of the model they inherited - this provided buyers in Russia with an excellent car.

Prices for Largus are significantly lower than for the previous generation Renault Logan MCV. The base price starts at 384 thousand rubles, and a two-seater van can be purchased for 364 thousand.

Skoda Fabia Combi - a worthy alternative

Of course, unlike domestic cars, foreign cars charge completely different prices. But also comfort, quality, reliability, efficiency - all this pleases with unsurpassed performance and characteristics. The elongated Fabia Combi model especially distinguished itself for its practicality. The car is much more comfortable than its own younger brother hatchback, and the trunk capacity is almost three times greater.

A trip to the Skoda Fabia Combi will bring great pleasure to gourmets automotive technology. There are no special new solutions in the field of ergonomics - everything looks very simple and practical. But the driving characteristics of the car differ in the following functions:

• the suspension is very soft - the car floats on the road;
• the extended wheelbase gave a little more space to rear passengers;
• even the most weak engines pulls the compact station wagon perfectly;
• gearboxes work better.

In the technical part, the Czechs surpassed theirs price class, which is why their products are so popular in Europe and Russia. Buyers tirelessly write in reviews about excellent cross-country ability and readiness for use on Russian roads.

Prices for Skoda Fabia Combi start from 549 thousand rubles. But if you want a powerful engine and a lot of technology in the cabin, you will have to pay almost one and a half times more.

Seat Ibiza ST - an unexpected participant in the rating

Considering the most promising station wagons in budget class, you don’t expect to see among the contenders for leadership a representative of a Spanish corporation, which is not so popular in Russia. But the car Seat Ibiza ST has become quite real competitor in our rating. The station wagon is well built on the proprietary Polo platform produced by Volkswagen, is equipped with excellent engines and has excellent interior space.

Among certain features that I would like to talk about in the Seat Ibiza ST topic are the following factors:

• excellent design, which is not typical of modern station wagons;
• the highest quality and most expensive materials in the cabin;
• engines and gearboxes from Volkswagen in the latest generations;
• The cost of maintenance and operation will pleasantly surprise you.

If you want to buy a reliable car with European roots, it's time to look at the Seat Ibiza ST. High quality build and the pleasant arrangement of all materials provide significant advantages of the car in comparison with its competitors.

One of the advantages of the machine can be safely called the cost. With a rich basic configuration, Seat offers its station wagon from 641 thousand rubles, and the most expensive version with truly impressive equipment will cost the buyer a modest 777 thousand.

Opel Astra Family - simple and reliable German

German assembly, excellent characteristics and the most big body of the station wagons presented in our review - this is why this car is revered in Germany and even in the USA. Corporation General Motors, which currently belongs to Opel company, decided to keep the legendary Astra series in production due to affordable prices and fairly stable demand.

Let's begin with Opel Astra Family belongs to the C-class. All other participants in our review come from the pure segment B. This gives rise to the main advantages of the car:

• huge space in the cabin;
• large trunk and a lot of practical devices for securing cargo;
• good suspension, proven over years of operation in a variety of conditions;
• high-torque, but economical and very reliable German engines;
• large wheels and increased ground clearance especially for Russia.

In its current updated Opel generation Astra will attract unrealistic numbers on the price tag for this car. But Family package has not been updated, it is presented in the old design, with old power units and technology.

This is what allowed the concern to make the car so affordable. 650 thousand rubles for basic equipment, which has a lot of interesting technologies, is very worthy price competition.

Let's sum it up

The choice in the field of station wagons in Russia today is not very large. Not all global brands decide to supply these spacious and practical cars. But the fashion for practicality is clearly spreading across the vast expanses of our country. More and more modern and beautiful station wagons are appearing on the roads that are pleasing to the eye.

If you want to feel maximum comfort and confidence behind the wheel, give your preference to European station wagons. They are trendsetters in this segment, because on no other continent has this body form factor become so popular and in demand.

By and large, station wagon cars have only one single difference from a hatchback or sedan, and this is also its main advantage - a significantly increased luggage compartment volume. Despite the fact that the station wagon looks like an ordinary one family car, in fact, this is a real mini-truck!

You can load one and a half, or even two times more cargo into a station wagon than into the luggage compartment of the same car, sold in a sedan or hatchback body. And if you fold (or completely remove, if this model has such a function) the second row of seats, then you will see a large cargo platform, which can be used to transport large items, such as a sofa or refrigerator.

If you often have to transport a large amount of luggage or other cargo, purchasing a station wagon will be in a great way save on freight taxi services.
