"Boxers" Bashny.Net

10 seven-seat SUV officially available on the Russian market.

If you are a happy father of three children, and even the dog to go on a journey together, you need to identify a roomy and comfortable car. Passenger car, of course, is no longer enough, and minivan segment in our country is somewhat limited, so involuntarily have to think about buying at least a mid-sized SUV with a third row of seats.

However, three-row "crooks" in the Russian market abound, but how to choose the optimum machine in the ratio of its price and quality? We picked ten crossovers, which to some extent can meet the expectations of future owners.





Acura MDX

Launched in the spring in our market "luxury" Japanese SUV as low as 2.599 million rubles, it is equipped with the latest technology. Buyers lined up for the SUV, to put it mildly, quite a rather big amount, get a car equipped with adaptive optics, LED, keyless entry system, the function of monitoring the entire perimeter of the car, three-zone climate control and the latest acoustic and complex multimedia and navigation system. The entertainment center that will appreciate when traveling back riders, supports all standard formats such as, MP3, WMA and DVD. There is also a built-in hard drive, as well as inputs for connecting additional AUX-, USB- and VIDEO- devices.

But all this wealth becomes bleak as a "gallery" hear the sobs of children corny tired of watching cartoons and resting his knees standing in front of a sofa.



Despite the fact that the space as the front riders and passengers of the second row are abound, rear space was surprisingly negligible.



Comfort your child can create unless the child seat mounted on top of the seat, so the baby will not even touch the back of the front legs.



As an option, the Japanese could cut a little trunk, which, by the way, has an impressive 676 liters, and thus give barman third row additional volume.



In the engine compartment MDX «registered" 290-horsepower V-shaped six-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 3, 5 liters and selective cylinder deactivation system. With him in a pair of runs automatic "shestistupka", distributing traction to all four wheels. On the economy can not speak - the minimum fuel consumption is equivalent to 12 liters.



Honda Pilot

Three years ago, has experienced mixed SUV restyled, during which he became only slightly more modern, but it does not prevent him to enjoy stable popularity today. Wonder then, in fact, nothing - the car has proven over the years the quality and excellent maneuverability. A usual for Honda brevity, at least in comparison with the Acura, partially justifies its price. By the way, the basic version will cost Pilot today at 1.799 million rubles. However, this amount does not include three-zone climate, which, meanwhile, may be useful for the kids playing on the back seat, as well as navigation, parking sensors and sunroof. However, the absence of the latter can not be called critical.

Seats in the cabin rife, but the luggage compartment with a volume of 217 liters, quite frankly, could have been more. The Japanese, in turn, strongly recommend the use of a trailer which, according to them, the machine is easy to drag away even when fully loaded up to its 2041 kg.



This effect provides a vehicle mounted under the hood 3, 5-liter V6 power of 249 "horses" and 347 Nm of torque.



Constant traction on both axes passes the five-step "automatic". As for the "extravagance", the "Honda", officially consuming 92nd gasoline, spending an average of no more than 11 liters per 100 kilometers.

Hyundai Grand Santa Fe

Came to the domestic market at the beginning of the year seven-seater modification "Santa" as compared with the normal version added a length of 225 mm and has grown by 10 mm in height. Thus, Koreans were able to provide for the passengers of the second, and now the third-row seats extra space. But the amount of luggage without transformation seats made of 176 liters, which, I must say, it is not enough for the model, broke, in fact, in the new segment.

But envy is functional equipment. Then you and the leather upholstery and cruise climates, electrical-heating, rear-view camera and auxiliary assistants, such as indicator, warning of a frontal collision, the options when climbing, descending a slope, the emergency braking and other "charms of life."



In general, the manufacturer, which does not take away, obviously care about the safety and comfort of the driver and passengers. But for fun, as you know, have to pay.



And in the cheapest version with a diesel engine 2, 2-liter CRDi with capacity 197 hp and consumption of 9 liters which is aggregated with a dedicated six automatic transmission and permanent anchor, will be released no less than 1.799 million rubles.



KIA Mohave

Another "Korean" with no less, or rather, it is even more eye-catching with a price tag that starts with a mark of 1.8249 million rubles. As with the previous model in this review, in the arsenal of KIA permanent four-wheel drive, diesel engine and "automatic". However, the power unit at the Mohave much more powerful - 250 "horses" on the 3-liter volume, and where the box quicker - 8 steps. And in terms of efficiency, consumption SUV same 9 liters, and "brother."

The mineral can allocate a separate climate control for the rear travel, "advanced" multimedia and shock variable stiffness that will come in handy when riding at gully, especially for the passengers of the second and third rows, which usually shakes inside the most. In general, in fact, it has everything you need and nothing more.



Places in - car. However, even an adult passenger on the last row will be quite a comfort. Anyway, my knees do not fight in front of a standing seat and the head does not rest on the roof.



And all this combined with 350 liters of useful load. Well, not bad. However, one must admit that the cost of car for the product in South Korea, as well as in the case of GrandSanta Fe is still too high.



Ford Explorer

One of the most fuel-efficient cars in our review. Appetite Explorer is not more than 8, 8 liters per "hundred", which is not in the least obliged adjustable valve timing system, which has a relatively new 294-hp V6 with a capacity of 3, 5 liter and 345 Nm traction. With him in the bundle runs the six-step "automatic", the force distribution on both axes.



26.



The combination of engine and transmission issues leaves. Nor, as there are no claims to ergonomics and driving performance. Compared with the previous generation of machines, the latter got recustomized Explorer suspension, better brakes and quite informative steering.



The interior is pleasing to the eye three LCD multimedia complex, which can be controlled via voice commands.



As to the roomy interior, it's a family trip by car, you can do without any fear of discomfort.



For the fifth door is placed 595 liters of luggage, and the legs even "third" passengers can, though not fully, but extended forward.



And this happiness is estimated at least at 1.869 million rubles.



Toyota Highlander

The new generation of the SUV from the Land of the Rising Sun "registered" in the domestic auto shows earlier this year and immediately caused a strong reaction in the community. The fact that the "Highlander" was left without all-wheel drive. More precisely, he is now not constant, but connected through the clutch, like the majority of compact SUV. But, it should be noted that after the upgrade it has become more comfortable, smoother and order bonus.



33.



However, Lexus RX 350, which has been used by engineers as a donor, speaks for itself.



Modern design, a new chassis, a lot of gadgets and space - what do you need a large family car? By the way, "the gallery" there is clearly outperforms Explorer. Straighten legs rear passengers were not working. But the trunk is poor - just 269 liters.



The hood compartment has found its place 2, 7-liter gasoline engine, which develops 188 hp and 252 Nm of torque.



Company engine, "eats" about 10 liters of fuel on the combined cycle, was a six-speed automatic gearbox.



With the "tandem" refreshed Highlander will cost 1.741 million rubles.



Nissan Pathfinder

This "Japanese" has at its disposal all-wheel drive system with low next transmission, 190-horsepower 2-liter 5 "diesel", consuming an average of about 9 liters, and the "mechanics" of the six-speed. Price of the issue - 1 580 000 rubles. Version with automatic transmission will require gain nearly 200 thousand. Here we add leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and heated steering wheel. Spaciousness in excess, and in the back row knees tall rider, not to mention the child, to the back of the front seats not reach. It turned out to be a decent and load compartment capacity - 455 liters.



40.



Of the features worth noting the presence of functional cruise control, dual-zone climate, with two multimedia displays and "music" with CD-changer and the ability to connect mobile devices. Responsible for the safety of "assistant" emergency braking, dynamic stabilization, as well as curtains, side and front "eyrbegi."



Chevrolet Trailblazer

To the delight of Russian fans, who until last year, the country imported model alone or "hands", "gray" dealers, the Americans finally officially presented TrailBlazer. Moreover, it is not with exorbitant a price, such as maligned ardent haters overseas automobile industry. Budget it is certainly not called, but the initial cost to 1.309 million rubles - the price tag is acceptable. After all, for the money the future owners will be able to gain seven-seater with an integrated frame, four-wheel drive wheels, a transfer case and "ponizhaykoy" as well as the chassis with uncut rear axle.



43.



"Heart" of the machine is 2, 8-liter "turbo", issuing 180 "horses" and 470 Nm of peak thrust into contact with the "mechanics" of the five stages. What is commendable, even with the most aggressive driving, the car does not spend "diesel" more than 10 liters per 100 km. Manual gearbox, incidentally, can be replaced and the AKP and pay at the same time only 66 thousand "wooden".



With regard to the internal space, the spaciousness of the "American" does not take away. Anyway, in the cabin. Just as not to take away from the riders a sense of comfort when driving. What can be said about the trunk, who is willing to take on board the limit of 235 liters. And the interior trim is a bit little bit poor, somehow not even American.



Frankly weak was also an optional package. Here, the most that neither is, conventional air conditioning, but with the air supply for all three rows of passengers, anti-lock braking system and only two front airbags. These, without discussion, the options you want, as a system of exchange rate stabilization and an assistant when driving downhill, the rise will be available only for a fee. The same applies to higher-quality audio.



Chevrolet Captiva

Perhaps this is one of the most affordable offerings in the segment. In short, for 1.11 million rubles, you can become the owner of the seven-seater crossover with four-wheel drive, in which the equipment 2, 4-liter 167-horsepower gasoline engine, mating with a six-speed manual transmission. And if you want to ride on the "machine" will have to pay another 112 thousand.



48.



It should be noted that the refreshed version of the Captiva, which appeared in our last year, has become much more comfortable and quieter. That, however, is not surprising, because the engineers, in particular, focusing on suspension and steering that to another and basically reflected in driving quality. In any case, banks are barely noticeable, and the cabin is no longer shaking like a roller coaster.



Here - six airbags, full power accessories, as well as electronic stability with trailer stabilization function. Innovative options at the Captiva, of course not.



And also have to forget about the delights of the interior. But the beauty, in fact, lies precisely in its simplicity - everything is intuitive and user-friendly. A good amount, however, can boast, and a cargo compartment that will accommodate up to 477 liters of luggage.



A flow "gorjuchki" to "hundreds" runs nearly 9 liters - for the money just a gift.



SsangYong Stavic

And finally, one more "Korean" - whether the SUV, or minivan, presented in Russia last summer. Curiously, the automaker has positioned itself model as SUV, and the independent expert auto - not only as a seven-seater van. In general, however, the car clearly deserves attention. Last but not least, thanks to the impressive dimensions which allow to place in the cabin is not even seven and ten people, a record (875 liters), the luggage compartment volume and, in fact, price.



By the way, the price tag on Stavic repelled with a mark of 1.069 million rubles. This amount is estimated machine, complete with a 2-liter "turbo diesel" with the return of 149 "horses" and 360 Nm of thrust (flow a little more than 9 liters), six-speed "mechanics" and monoprivodom, the classic rear. The layout on both axes plus "automatic" with manual shift will be obliged to put nearly 1, 3 million. That, however, in comparison with competitors blatant "rip-off" does not appear.



Car travel not only in vogue but also exhibit greater price for democracy, rather than travel with the whole family on a train or on a plane flight, especially in the country or in neighboring countries.



We have not reviewed these auto accident with the most important, in our opinion, indicators - price, fuel consumption, utilitarian utility passenger comfort the second and third rows. And what you think is important in a car journey you, our readers?
