Crossovers are usually called cars built on a passenger platform with a monocoque body. They have a high seating position, often all-wheel drive, although there are configurations with drive on one pair of wheels.
This concept was first introduced in the USA. But the first full-fledged representative of the SUV class was the Japanese Toyota RAV4.
Now this is one of the most popular classes of cars in the world. The demand for them is huge, and in a variety of price categories.
The range of used crossovers up to 700,000 rubles is quite impressive. But not every one of these options will satisfy the buyer. Therefore, the top 10 was compiled taking into account certain requirements, criteria and parameters. Thus, we managed to select the optimal crossovers that fully correspond to this concept.
Criterias of choice
With a budget of up to 700 thousand rubles, you can only count on used crossovers.
In theory, it is possible to find a new car for that kind of money. But it will be a cheap Chinese one, or some product of the domestic automobile industry such as Chevrolet Niva, VAZ Niva, Lada 4x4 or UAZ. And even then in the poorest trim levels.
And the buyer expects for this money to receive a decent level of comfort, good equipment, climate control equipment with at least air conditioning and other privileges of a modern crossover.
Therefore, here you should immediately focus on cars that are 7-10 years old. There are several specimens around 5 years old. But these are initially budget and simple crossovers. There is no talk of any premium in them.
When selecting candidates, the main emphasis was placed on such parameters.
- Cost and quality. Practice shows that it is better to take a good used foreign car than a frankly cheap option for the same money, but new, without mileage. The price of 700 thousand rubles is not small. But such a budget cannot be called large. Value for money can be considered the main criterion for choosing a crossover on the secondary market.
- Age. Maximum 10-12 years. Anything older than this age is usually starting to rust and rot. This is how current cars are assembled so that people replace them more often. Practice shows that it is extremely difficult to find a living body and engine for a car that has passed more than 15 years on this earth.
- Manufacturer. Priority is given to companies that have proven themselves well. These are manufacturers of reliable, strong machines with a decent service life. Now these are Japanese, Korean and some European brands.
As a result, the following automakers were included in the list of favorites:
- Kia.
- Hyundai.
- Renault.
- Nissan.
- Honda.
- Mitsubishi.
- Subaru.
- Volkswagen.
Further, separately about which used crossovers on the Russian market can be found for 700,000 rubles.
New foreign cars up to 700 thousand rubles
Assortment of foreign cars costing less than 700 thousand rubles.
wide enough. In this price range, minimally equipped branded models are more popular. While the average and elite configurations are practically not in demand. The following cars have predominantly basic or initial assembly, which does not affect their quality in any way: 1. Chevrolet Cruze
A popular car that is actively sold in Russia, the initial configuration of which for a sedan costs from 670 thousand rubles. For this price, a car enthusiast purchases a car with the following equipment:
- On-board computer;
- Front power windows;
- power steering;
- Airbags (4 pcs.);
- CD/MP3 radio;
- Heated mirrors;
- 16” steel wheels.
2. Ford Focus
The basic configuration of this presentable car can be purchased for 649 thousand rubles, but it will not be possible to add additional options, since the price of the car will immediately exceed 700 thousand. On the official website, only a hatchback with a 1.6 engine (85 hp) is available for this amount. ) and a small trunk. The following options will be available in this configuration:
- Adjustable steering wheel;
- Electric mirrors and front electric windows;
- 2 airbags.
- ABS and EBD systems.
3. Skoda Rapid
The car deserves special attention, since for a fairly low cost of the initial configuration with a 1.2 liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission (from 529 thousand rubles), the car enthusiast purchases a high-quality B+ class car with a spacious interior and trunk, a modern and discreet design, units and suspension available for repair.
4. Kia Ceed
The basic configuration of the car has 1.4 liters. engine (100 hp) and costs about 640 thousand rubles. For an additional 50 thousand you can buy a car with a 1.6 liter. motor (130 hp). The car has a 6-speed manual transmission and is distinguished by high-quality interior trim, excellent noise insulation, high safety and performance.
5. Opel Astra
Car equipment costing up to 700 thousand rubles. compares favorably with most competitors with the presence of ABS/EBD systems, air conditioning and heated seats. For this money, the car is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine. (115 hp). The previous generation of Astra with similar equipment is also available for sale.
6.Hyundai i30
For 660 thousand, a configuration with a 1.4 liter engine is available. (100 hp), and with a 130-horsepower engine for 690 thousand rubles. Both options have a 6-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, an on-board computer, a 12-volt outlet in the trunk, and a high-quality audio system. Despite the high build quality, comfort and good handling, the i30 is characterized by an exorbitant engine appetite, poor sound insulation, and an overly stiff suspension.
7. Peugeot 408
The car combines sophisticated design with reliability, practicality and comfort, as well as adaptation to the conditions of domestic roads. The cost of the initial configuration of the car starts at 590 thousand, which includes 1.6 liters. (110 hp) engine, air conditioning, airbags and on-board computer. In addition, the car has high ground clearance (178 mm), good sound insulation and reliable galvanized bodywork.
8. Kia Cerato
The cost of a basic car is close to 700 thousand rubles. For this amount, the automaker offers a car with a presentable exterior, a 130 hp engine. s., a large trunk (482 l), heated seats, front windows, and two airbags.
9. Nissan Tiida
The basic version of the new car, which has an extravagant design, excellent aerodynamics, good spaciousness, and dual-zone climate control, will cost the car owner 640 thousand rubles.
10. Citroen C-Elysee
The car was developed for family and everyday use, and is distinguished by safety, reliability, large dimensions and a reinforced body.
11. Mitsubishi Lancer
The model is no longer new, and in many respects it has lost its competitiveness, although it can hardly be classified as an obsolete option. Its only significant drawback is the small trunk - only 350 liters.
Subaru Forester
For many, this is not the most obvious option with a budget of 700,000 rubles, since Japanese crossovers and SUVs of the Subaru brand, especially used ones, cause a lot of controversy and conversation.
For the budget in question, 3rd generation Forester crossovers are available on the secondary market. These are models from 2007 to 2012.
The bulk of the offerings are a 2.0-liter engine with 150 horsepower and an automatic transmission. A rarer guest in advertisements will be a 2.5-liter version with 172 horsepower.
The big advantage of engines is that they are naturally aspirated. However, the 2.5-liter version is a bored-out two-liter engine. Therefore, under prolonged loads, it becomes more prone to overheating with all that it entails.
By choosing a younger engine, you will experience better efficiency and reliability. But there is almost no difference in power, which is an advantage.
Consider turbocharged engines of 230 and 263 hp in such a budget. With. not worth it. They are short-lived, suffer from oil starvation, and are also usually sold after those who have experienced the capabilities of internal combustion engines repeatedly and under heavy loads.
Hyundai ix35
Aka Hyundai Tucson 2nd generation. Quite a nice and stylish car. A real crossover, focused more on the city.
A liquid option that can be purchased for 700 thousand rubles with a mileage of about 100-150 thousand km. These crossovers are easy to find and not particularly difficult to sell. The main thing is to set a reasonable price tag.
The model is characterized by good reliability, durable engines, and trouble-free gearboxes. Focus on approximately 2008-2010 model year. Yes, the car will be more than 10 years old. But for the Hyundai ix35 this is a normal age. With proper use it will last just as long.
There is also a Ford EcoSport.
But due to the lack of demand for it, I will not focus on it; I have only had one inspection of a similar car in 5 years. Have you ever seen them on the roads? Or do you know about their existence? Write in the comments.
Korea! Kia Sportage or Hyundai ix35.
I'll keep it short. They could be purchased with a guarantee. And now? And now there are problems in the block and the meaning of the purchase is lost. Only through capital.
And all-wheel drive has its problems.
These are some of the most unsuccessful crossovers to date. But if you are ready for such an investment, then why not buy it? Decide for yourself, because the ride is yours!

Renault Duster
Few such ratings are complete without a crossover from the French company.
For some, these are the best inexpensive crossovers from the used category, available for less than 700 thousand rubles.
Now they are asking about 1 million rubles for a new Renault Duster in a good configuration. Basic equipment costs up to a million. This allows you to safely count on a model year of 2022 with less than 100 thousand kilometers on the odometer.
The principle here is simple. The richer the equipment, the older you will have to look for a Duster for the money. You can sacrifice equipment, and then literally a few years will pass from the release of the Renault Duster. There are even options with a guarantee.
You don't have to look solely at the first generation. For that kind of money you can look into the segment with a new version of the French crossover.
Volkswagen Tiguan
A good German car. Such crossovers in used condition are actively sold on the secondary market, and there are very decent options for 700 thousand rubles.
The second generation is definitely not. It has been released only since 2016. And a new car now costs from 2 million rubles. Therefore, only the first generation, but in a restyled version.
The first generation was released in 2007. But there is no need to look that far, having 700,000 rubles at your disposal. If you decide on the 2007-2008 model year, then demand the maximum configuration.
Objectively, the best solution would be 2010-2012. True, you shouldn’t count on all-wheel drive and a top-end engine here. The budget is not enough. You'll have to pay about 100 thousand rubles more.
For the money you have, you can take the entry-level or mid-range configuration of those years with front-wheel drive. It is not recommended to take the version with the DSG gearbox. This box was fully modified only in 2013. And since there are restrictions until 2012 due to the budget, it is better to have an automatic or manual.
The interior will be fabric. Regular audio system without touch multimedia. Yes, and there may be no multifunction steering wheel. But this is a German crossover with a solid build and good workmanship.
If you are not particularly demanding in terms of modern and rich fillings, then a Volkswagen Tiguan in a modest configuration, but purchased for 700 thousand rubles, will be able to pleasantly surprise you and delight you with other advantages.
Which car to choose
When choosing a car, everyone looks individually, so there are no special recommendations. But in order for the car to serve for a long time and reliably, when purchasing it, you should carefully inspect the body, interior, and look under the hood.
It is also recommended to take with you an independent expert who can point out the shortcomings of the SUV. If some features are not important, it is better to buy a car with lower mileage, although here the condition depends on the previous owner.
When purchasing, you should definitely check the documents and legal aspects to avoid problems.
Honda CR-V
Again, not the most obvious option with such a budget. Some will say that it is better to take a Honda if you have 1 million rubles or more. In many ways this is a correct position.
But there are still a large number of people who are ready to make concessions in the form of significant mileage and age, but choose the Honda CR-V. There are a number of reasons for this.
This is a reliable and durable machine with a decent margin of safety. Honda already had economical engines back then. Plus good finishing inside, spacious interior, roomy luggage compartment.
For 700 thousand, look at cars produced in 2008-2009. This is the 3rd generation, and before restyling. If the mileage has already exceeded the 200 thousand km mark, do not buy it. Soon, not very serious, but problems will begin. It will take a lot of time and effort to devote to replacing consumables and repairs. If you want to sit down and drive, then the odometer should show no more than 150 thousand km.
In Russia, the Honda CR-V of those times was offered with a pair of gasoline internal combustion engines. They have a power of 150 and 166 hp. With. with a volume of 2.0 and 2.4 liters, respectively. They are atmospheric, so you don’t have to worry about the turbine. For long-term and trouble-free operation, it is important to change the oil on time, as well as fill in good lubricant and fuel.
There are no complaints about the gearboxes. Conventional 6-speed manual transmission and 5-speed automatic transmission work stably. They do not require special care.
Be careful with the all-wheel drive system. It is important to fill it with the original composition. It's called DPSF2. Changes at intervals of 40 thousand kilometers.
Mitsubishi Outlander
Age: 11 years
Engine displacement: 2.4
Power: 170 hp
Powerful, reliable and functional crossover of Japanese origin. Translated, the name “Outlander” means: a journey to distant lands. As the name suggests, the car is perfect for long trips. The comfortable and functional interior of the Outlander makes it an ideal option for travelers. Since 2009, it has been meeting on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The advantages include: comfortable interior, stylish design, moderate fuel consumption, increased level of safety. Disadvantages: quite high price and expensive maintenance.
Nissan X-Trail
In terms of appearance, there are no complaints about the new generation Nissan X-Trail. Modern, stylish and attractive design.
The only problem is that this reliable and attractive crossover, even with high mileage, cannot be purchased for 700,000 rubles. But you can buy a predecessor.
This will be the T31 version, second generation. Focus on the 2009-2011 model year with a real mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers. Less is better.
The car received high marks from consumers for its reliability, comfortable and large interior, and spacious luggage compartment. If you are ready to put up with a far from fashionable appearance, then feel free to take it.
Basically, on the secondary market, Nissan X-Trail with 2.0 and 2.5 liter engines will be offered for that kind of money. They have 140 and 169 horsepower, respectively. The turbine is missing. CVT gearbox. Much less often it comes with a manual transmission or automatic transmission.
The automatic transmission is exclusively paired with one of the turbodiesels, which were not sold very actively in Russia. As a result, there are few offers on the secondary market. A diesel engine with a turbine raises concerns among some. Although in reality these engines of 150 and 173 hp have special problems and weak points. With. No.
What is best avoided is the 2.0-liter petrol engine. Piston rings often got stuck here, and oil consumption was over 1 liter per 1000 km. Plus the oil flows through the gasket on the pan. With a mileage of about 150 thousand kilometers, you will definitely have to adjust the valves and change the timing chain.
Dongfeng H30 Cross - a mature hatchback
The Russian buyer does not like being deceived by offering an ordinary hatchback under the guise of a crossover. But in the case of Dongfeng, a company new to the Russian market, such deception will be forgiven due to the very attractive result of the manufacturer’s machinations. In particular, the company offers the following advantages in its new H30 Cross:
- modern style and notes of sport and aggression in the design of the car;
- amazing engine capabilities of 117 horsepower and 1.6 liters;
- automatic and manual transmission - both are available in our budget;
- lack of obvious savings on the implementation of important machine functions;
- good crash test with a high rating for driver and passenger safety.
This is exactly what the buyer expects from modern Chinese crossovers. However, you should also remember that Dongfeng entered the market not so long ago, there are few reviews about the technology. For 580,000 you will buy a car with a manual, for 650 - with an automatic and some additions to the package. The price turned out to be the most attractive aspect of the car.
Mitsubishi Outlander
For 700 thousand rubles it is quite possible to find a second-generation Outlander, which received an additional index XL.
The car was produced from 2007 until 2012. The specified budget includes models no later than 2010 and with a mileage of up to 150 thousand kilometers.
In Russia, only gasoline versions were officially sold. Diesel was not delivered.
But both 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines are quite reliable. The timing belt comes with a backlash-free chain, and therefore does not need to be changed. To prevent engines from creating unnecessary problems, simply change their oil every 15 thousand km.
One of the advantages of the Mitsubishi Outlander XL is their ability to easily digest 92 gasoline. And without any consequences. The main thing is that the quality of the fuel is high enough.
The end result was a simple machine. In every way. No flashy appearance, no unique configuration or equipment, but reliable. You can try to find a version after restyling, but this is more likely with a budget of 800 thousand rubles.
Kia Sportage
A South Korean crossover that is worthy of your attention on the secondary market if you have 700,000 rubles.
But Korean cars began to actively rise in price. Therefore, they now cost almost the same as used Japanese ones. That is, for 700 thousand they usually offer a 2010-2012 Sportage with a mileage of over 100 thousand km. This is the third generation of the model. Moreover, the platform here is the same as that of the already presented Hyundai ix35 crossover.
The choice of engines will be small. Basically it is a 2.0 liter petrol engine with an output of 150 hp. With. Can be combined with manual or automatic. A diesel engine with 136 hp is much less common. Sportage has good engines of 184 and 261 hp. s., but they were not officially presented here.
Please note that in the period from 2010 to 2011, the Sportage had its manual transmission replaced under warranty. Therefore, if you come across a version from those years, check that the seller knows about it.
Externally, the Kia Sportage is one of the most attractive and modern crossovers in the selection. The interior is also well equipped. Yes, the model has its problems. Not most of them are fixed for little money.
The buyer himself must make the final choice when buying a used crossover for 700 thousand rubles. But the presented selection with the main nuances, strengths and weaknesses of the machines can make the decision easier.
Which crossover do you think is the best for the money? What should you pay special attention to? Who should be added or excluded from the list? Why?
