Based on far from complete list SUVs of the 2018-2019 model year, it should be noted that the new items are quite diverse and capable of meeting the needs of different categories of domestic buyers.

More and more foreign and domestic motorists facing the Asian market. China is showing its progress in this area. By buying up expensive specialists and modern equipment, enterprises from the Middle Kingdom manage to win new buyers over to their side. In such a situation, Chinese SUVs of the 2017 model year, new items from car dealerships and world auto shows, become relevant.

5 reasons for the popularity of the car industry "made in China"

The success of the Chinese SUVs of the 2017-2018 model year lies in several components:

• attractive prices for all products that European, Japanese or Korean counterparts cannot boast of;
• jeeps of 2017 have good technical equipment and equipment for every taste;
• nice design, which in most cases is borrowed from more famous foreign models;
• an extensive network of sales of goods.

The build quality or the use of some materials may not always reach the level of European classmates, but experts competently work on errors and, as a result of restyling or updating generations of cars, they get the best set of functions and equipment.

Of course, the overwhelming majority is not just "borrowed", but elementary copied from foreign analogues, and literally to the last screw, which does not prevent them from being competitive. Not everyone agrees to pay more than 50% of the cost only for the brand, and the accuracy of repetition has always been a "trick" of engineers and designers from the Middle Kingdom in order to conquer the world market.

Engineers copied this 2017 SUV from the high-end Porsche Macan. The execution was carried out in such a way as to ensure the maximum similarity between the replica and the original. The designers tried to transfer both the exterior and interior decoration interior up to trim.

The obvious difference lies in the technical characteristics of the "Asian" and "European". "German" remained better in the copy in terms of reliability, power, speed and quality of performance. At the same time, the ZOTYE SR9 received quite acceptable parameters:

• two-liter gasoline engine;
• power at the level of 190 hp;
• six-speed robotic box gear.

The cost of the new model is 1.3 million rubles at home. However, such options and prices are still available to local buyers. Official deliveries of the model outside the country have not yet been established.

A five-seater cabin for SUVs is not the limit, therefore, a seven-seater version of the novelty with lengthened outer dimensions and an increased wheelbase is provided. The interior looks expensive and spacious. Good materials were used for finishing:

• leather trim;
• soft plastic elements;
• decor "carbon-like".

The console has a 10.2-inch monitor. The front seat cups are ergonomically shaped, ventilated and heated. Seat adjustment is carried out by electric drives.

Engineers are not shy about making replicas of even VAZ models. An example is the analog Lada XRAY in Chinese version. The main recognizable features in appearance are ribbing and aesthetic minimalism. The disadvantage is the weaker technical equipment, photos and videos demonstrate this.

The following elements stand out from the interior features:

• two-zone climate system;
• a 7-inch touchscreen is used to control multimedia;
• the driver has an informative dashboard with two analog scales and an on-board computer display.

Off-road vehicles come with different design bodies - in some cars the body itself is the supporting one, in others such an element is the frame.

In this article, from the entire list of frame SUVs, we will try to determine the best models, but immediately note that “ best SUV"Is a relative concept, each motorist determines for himself what he likes best.

Advantages and disadvantages of frame construction

Off-road vehicles in Russia are gaining more and more popularity every year, and there are many different brands of crossovers and SUVs on the Russian market. Cars with a frameless body are becoming more and more, someone believes that the frame structure is gradually becoming obsolete. There is also an opinion that only a frame off-road vehicle (RV) can be considered a real all-terrain vehicle - the frame gives the body rigidity and reliability, and the car goes through all obstacles like a tank.

So, the advantages of RV:

• a car with a frame on all bumps and bumps is more stable, it does not shake it so much from side to side;
• the frame allows you to carry more cargo and passengers, as it is structurally more rigid;
• for RV less often it is required to set the camber-convergence angles;
• in case of an accident on the "frame", the geometry of the body is less disturbed;
• vibrations are less noticeable on the frame structure, and it is more comfortable to ride such an SUV;
• the design of the RV is simpler, it is easier to get to the suspension elements on it.

There are also disadvantages of "frames", it is because of them that manufacturers often abandon the frame:

• the price of a frame SUV is higher;
• when installing the frame, dimensions and weight increase;
• fuel consumption of "ramnikov" is higher;
• for RV it is necessary more powerful engine.

But the frame has another very big plus: it often saves passengers in the cabin in case of an accident - strong metal does not fold into an accordion.

Frame SUVs are reliable transport for Russian roads, especially during the absence of roads in the spring. Experienced race car drivers perform on them. The female gender also masters them, as we have already discussed. Let's define the best in this category.

Leading car manufacturers

If you look at all the automakers in the world, many of them produce a frame version of the jeep. There are both compact and large specimens. Among the best frame SUVs, there are well-known brands, as well as less popular automakers that can surprise with the quality, reliability and capabilities of their models. When choosing SUVs for the reliability and stability of the frame to loads, preference should be given to the following companies:

• Jeep.
• Land Rover.
• Mercedes.
• Toyota.
• Mitsubishi.
• Nissan.
• Hummer.
• Chevrolet.

As you can see, there are big names, as well as a few less popular and sought-after brands. Even a domestic product was included in the rating, which our engineers can be proud of. But in terms of characteristics, the difference is small if we consider purely off-road qualities. Although there are clear leaders in this parameter. Now we propose to find out what are the top frame SUVs and who entered the list of the best jeeps in this category.

Domestic hunter

I would like to start with domestic car... UAZ-315195 Hunter replaced the outdated 469 model, which existed on the assembly line for 30 years. Only the external outlines remained in common, everything else is completely new. The most significant restyling occurred under public pressure in 2015, when the Ulyanovsk residents announced the termination of the production of the hunting series.

The updated Hunter received a special expeditionary version. The technical characteristics are almost identical, but the special version is distinguished by the standard traction device, bright noticeable body paint. The front power board of such a machine is suitable for jack use, and the rear arches are designed for use. By default, the classic version comes with R16 city tires, and the expeditionary version comes with All-Terain tires. And the seats in the classics are easy to wash the base.

Defender car

This is us about the Land Rover Defender. At the time of this writing, the last car on sale was a two-liter with 122 horsepower in 2014. In general, SUVs rolled off the assembly line until 2016. The all-wheel drive Defender was literally littered with plastic - from the body to the dashboard. Such a move lightened the weight of the car, but did not damage safety - this is a complete order. With this car, the owner is ready for everything that awaits him on the road.

In 2019 the company In 2019 Land company Rover will celebrate 70 years since its founding. To this significant date Defender fans will receive a new generation of their idol. Technical data are still classified, but they will definitely not be worse than their predecessor. So far, the official premiere has not taken place, the car is in field trials.

Mid-size SUV. In our country, the brand has launched the production of cars at the site in Naberezhnye Chelny. For some time, Russian car enthusiasts could purchase cars assembled from Kremenchug, but now they are not on sale.

The assertive character and dynamism of the car are reflected in its clear and fast lines. Inside the cabin there is an exceptionally soft, practical plastic. Engine under the hood internal combustion on gasoline or diesel. It produces an impressive 181 horsepower. Safety is also on the highest level with all standard options.

Harsh SUV in the best traditions Wild West. It has only four-wheel drive and special filters to comfortably move around the steppes and marshes of the whole world. As in many cars of this class, plastic with excellent ergonomic properties dominates here.

The uniqueness of the car lies in a petrol engine with a record 272 horsepower and a 9-speed automatic transmission, setting the bar for other car manufacturers.

The car's motto is comfort knows no bounds. This model year's Mojave combines athletic build and business solidity. The SUV has become even more comfortable, especially for the driver. His chair now remembers comfortable positions. And the electric drive adjusts the driver's seat to the owner's figure.

The developers also took care of security. New airbags, belts that do not squeeze and do not interfere with blood circulation - this is only a small part of all the innovations that await the owner and passengers of this masterpiece from South Korea.

It has a powerful V6 engine under the hood. It produces 250 horsepower. In combination with all-wheel drive, this is a guarantee of reliable speed characteristics and overcoming any obstacles. If you wish, you can

To pull out iron horse from a difficult quagmire.

This SUV gets even better with every model year. Each appearance of the owner of this car will cause, if not a crowd of photographers, then an abundance of enthusiastic representatives of the opposite sex. All elements are presented to the car enthusiast exclusively in the best light, presenting status as a priority.

There are tons of communication solutions inside the car. These are USB ports, hatches, containers. All this is done with only one goal - to make the trip comfortable, although some motorists are skeptical about oversized machines... But the Cadillac is steadily heading thanks to the built-in stabilization system. The engine with a capacity of 426 horses and 6 liters also captivates - a real record in the field of off-road vehicles. Escalade is capable of helping vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons.

This car has one cool feature - small headlights are lost against the background of the large dimensions of the vehicle. But this has its own chic, because the likelihood of damage to headlights in an accident is significantly reduced.

The range includes exclusively restyling of the Y61 and Y62 generations. Drivers can choose from three or five-door versions of 61 models and only the five-door generation of 62 versions. Each of them contains a complete set of safety and comfort options. Options gasoline engine only 3. Y61, the first of which rolled out in 2004, is offered with engines of 145 and 280 horsepower. And the generation 62 restyling in 2014 - only with a 405-horsepower engine. All these cars received their customers, although the new Patrol costs more than 5 million rubles.

The German manufacturer has significantly improved its legendary SUV. The metal-plastic W463 was replaced by the steel-aluminum W464. The doors, hood and mudguards are made of aluminum. Everything else is made of high strength steels. The car received a 9-speed automatic gearshift. By optimizing the mechanisms, it was possible to free up additional space for passengers. The increase in the wheelbase also played to the advantage. The new 422-horsepower engine has become even more economical - it consumes 11 liters of terrain - the differential lock is now triple.

Mitsubishi pajero

In 2018, the company released a new sports generation its flagship. This vehicle has a powerful spar frame that contributes to maneuverability even in urban wilds.
