The summer season is a time when you can take a break from the bustle of the city, grow really tasty and healthy fruits and vegetables, and enjoy the sounds of nature. But for a comfortable trip to the country, you need the right car. Such that he could walk off-road, and take a considerable number of things with him, and accommodate all close relatives.
If the road to your dacha is relatively flat, and you do not strive to take everything at once, then an ordinary sedan will do just fine. Its cross-country ability and capacity is quite enough to take the whole family to summer cottage work, and for cargo dressage, you can order a GAZelle.
In this segment, the most popular option is the Ford Focus. If your summer cottage is located in a civilized place, then this car will fit like no other. Also take a look at the Renault Fluence and Skoda Octavia - these cars have a good reputation, not a giant but normal trunk, and a spacious interior.
For a bad road
A typical situation: a car with an average clearance of 150-160 mm drives freely on uneven roads and off-road terrain, but once or twice during the entire journey, you can still hear the grinding of the bottom. For this reason, many drivers do not want to get out by car to the dacha, and this is correct, since such damage can seriously affect the condition of the car.
For bad roads, crossovers are best. Choose a 4WD car, but don't go for the most expensive
model.
Nissan X-Trail has established itself as a reliable car in this regard. He is not very elegant, but he copes with his tasks perfectly. In addition, Nissan dealers often hold promotions with this car, so if you're lucky, you can buy it at a fairly low price.
Great alternatives are Toyota RAV4 and Volkswagen Tiguan. The Russians especially trust German quality, which is why the Tiguan is in high demand among the local clientele. The car is really reliable and maneuverable. The RAV4 is one of the sleekest cars to suit both men and women.
Off-road
If you want to comfortably get to the summer cottage, take the maximum amount of things with you, and even take your whole family with you, then you need cars that are unlikely to please with their price.
The ideal option is the Toyota LC200. This car has already established itself as one of the best for family outings. The BMW X5 and Audi Q7 are truly fantastic vehicles that not only emphasize the status of the owner, but also do a great job off-road driving.
For the toughest off-road conditions, the UAZ Patriot is suitable. He has excellent cross-country ability, the quality leaves much to be desired. Alternatives are Suzuki Jimmy and Land Rover Defender. Of course, these two cars are not alike, but they cope with the above tasks perfectly.
