Choosing a car is a troublesome business, requiring a responsible approach to the issue. After all, the car must combine a lot of the qualities and functions you need for a comfortable ride and convenient maintenance. If you choose an SUV, then here, first of all, pay attention to its cross-country ability and reliability.
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to decide what kind of drive you need on an SUV. If you plan to drive a car only in the city, then you will have few opportunities to appreciate the merits of four-wheel drive. If the car will be used for trips out of town, in difficult climatic conditions, off-road, you cannot do without all-wheel drive. But rear-wheel drive on large cars is not at all practical. Therefore, if you like to drive in comfort, then it is better to look for a rear wheel drive sedan.
Step 2
Pay attention to the amount of clearance. The increased ground clearance will allow the car to easily overcome high curbs and drive confidently through snowdrifts. For extreme driving, it is better to choose a frame body structure that is more durable and reliable.
Step 3
The type of fuel used by the SUV also plays an important role. You can save a lot on diesel cars. Such gasoline is cheaper and less required. But it is more difficult to start a diesel car in severe frost, and the engine will require specific repairs over time. When choosing a gasoline engine, pay attention to fuel consumption. Jeeps love to "eat" and the city regime should not exceed 10-15 liters per 100 km. In other cases, the car becomes simply "gold" in terms of content. And the functionality of an SUV does not always justify such costs.
Step 4
After you have answered the most important questions, you can decide on the make and model of the car. Compact crossovers such as Toyota Rav4, Nissan Qashqai, Dodge Caliber, Hyandai i35 are suitable for urban operation. These models are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive with a gasoline engine.
Step 5
Serious SUVs, all-wheel drive, with different types of engine power can be found at Toyota. Famous Land Cruiser 100 and 200, Prado, new Highlander. If you are looking for a huge brutal SUV, check out American jeeps, which are not officially supplied to Russia, but the car can be customized.
Step 6
But Chinese and some Korean cars at an attractive price should be avoided. Such a car will not last long, its build quality is sometimes just terrible, and such a car is difficult to sell on the secondary market. It is better to look for a 3-7 year old European or Japanese SUV, which often sells in better condition than a new Chinese car.
