There is an opinion that women choose a car with their eyes. And there is nothing wrong with that: you should like the car, and let the routine troubles with it fall on the man’s shoulders. Therefore, when compiling a rating of the best SUVs for the fair half of humanity, we pushed the “iron” aspect into the background, bringing forward originality and beauty.
The lion's share of crossovers on the Russian market falls into the range from 2 to 4 million rubles. Now this is the most fashionable class of cars, and women love to be in trend. The choice depends on the answer to the question, which is considered indecent: “How old are you?”
Hyundai Creta
Average cost - 1 million rubles
Hyundai Creta is suitable for women who value comfort and safety in cars rather than flashy appearance. The company's engineers focused on strengthening the car body to provide greater protection for passengers. In addition, in the latest models of the car, the interior has undergone noticeable changes - now safety is based not only on the cushions and seat arrangement, but also on the supplied electronics. Tracking sensors and control systems are never superfluous, because even men sometimes have to resort to their help.
What about the design, Hyundai decided to go for a futuristic look. Everything is done carefully; it is not possible to find details that stand out against the background of the overall picture. All seats in the cabin are customizable, so if desired, you can even remove the second row completely. This will come in handy if you need to increase trunk capacity.
There is no noise when driving, there is climate control, and the multimedia system will not let you get bored during long trips. Have you decided to go somewhere together? Feel free to fold up your seats and hit the road – the petrol tank holds 55 liters, and moving doesn’t consume much fuel.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.6 2WD 6-speed. Automatic transmission 126 hp fuel consumption 7.1 l/100 km

A crossover is not just a car, it is, if you like, a lifestyle. If we talk about crossovers that are suitable for women and girls, it should be noted that not a single manufacturer produces cars strictly targeted specifically at the female segment of buyers.
At the same time, many companies produce cars that can satisfy even the most demanding female taste.
Mazda CX5
Average cost: 1,800,000 rubles
The Mazda CX5 looks provocative and it's hard to argue with that. The bright and aggressive look will definitely attract the attention of not only acquaintances, but also other drivers on the road.
Every car should pay attention to safety - this model is no exception. The cabin is stuffed with electronics, there are airbags, and the body is reinforced—passengers definitely won’t have to worry.
Let's move on to more interesting moments. The interior space of the car attracts primarily with its spaciousness. It is noteworthy that in such a large salon, all the details look harmonious. And most importantly, if you want to go outdoors with a large group, there is enough space for everyone.
Excellent sound insulation is combined with the acoustic system installed in the car. In winter, being in the car is a joy - the heating system works not only on the seats, but also on the steering wheel. And there are no situations when Mazda does not want to start in the cold or gets stuck in the snow. Fortunately, the car has enough power and can cope with everything.
Any woman will enjoy driving a Mazda CX5. Frisky and maneuverable, the car will serve the owner for a long period of time, without even hinting at a possible breakdown.
Specifications:
- Petrol 2.0 2WD 6-speed. Automatic transmission 150 hp fuel consumption 6.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.5 4WD 6-speed. Automatic transmission 195 hp fuel consumption 8.9 l/100 km
Leader of designer sympathy
Among the cars that have a nice appearance, we can note the Nissan Juke, ideal for modern girls. The compactness of the model allows you to feel comfortable and confident. The easy-to-drive Jeep has excellent performance;
- thanks to intuitive ergonomics, the driver is not distracted by turning on the air conditioning;
- quite unusual design;
- high-quality engines conducive to dynamic driving.
Unlike other brands, this women's SUV has ample interior space. Therefore, a small Japanese SUV may be the best choice among cars in this category, especially considering its relatively low cost.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Cost from 1.5 million to 2 million rubles
Let's start with the fact that the strict appearance of the car emphasizes the status of the owner, and this is what you need to pay attention to first. The company's engineers made the car in such a way that it looks slightly aggressive - this is evidenced at least by the body, its lines are sharp and rigid. With safety as usual - a standard set of protective equipment. Let's talk about comfort.
The salon is spacious and it pleases. Again, the car is perfectly designed for traveling with the family, there is enough space for everyone, and no one gets stuck anywhere. There is climate control, sound insulation with a multimedia system, heated seats and steering wheel - already familiar functions. However, not all cars have auto braking or rear cameras, so this is where the Volkswagen Tiguan stands out from the competition.
The only problem a woman will encounter on her first trip is the car’s suspension. Whatever one may say, all speed bumps will be felt by passengers on an ongoing basis. But if we ignore this point, in other respects the car performs quite well.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.4 2WD 6-speed Robot / 125 hp fuel consumption 6.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 6-speed Robot / 150 hp fuel consumption 8.5 l/100 km
Ford Kuga
A nice and small car that will delight you with a six-speed automatic transmission in any version, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive to choose from, and a range of economical engines.
A special feature is the rear multi-link suspension and MacPherson strut at the front, giving sharp handling and even some hints of sporty behavior.
The electric power steering changes its characteristics depending on driving speed, actively turning on in parking lots and making the steering wheel tighter at high speeds.
To conquer light off-road conditions, an electronically connected all-wheel drive is provided, in which the system itself distributes torque across the wheels, and a ground clearance of 20 centimeters. You shouldn't go on a trophy raid in a Ford, but it feels confident in the rain and snow.
Lexus NX
Average cost: 2,194,000 rubles
Another representative of a bright and aggressive design. Just look at the car body to understand how provocative it looks. The seats are upholstered in leather material, adjustable and heated. There is plenty of space in the cabin; a woman will have room to place her accessories.
Electronics assist the driver while driving - the monitor located to the right of the steering wheel shows various information depending on the user’s settings and the situation.
In order to appreciate all the advantages of Lexus, you just need to drive it. Indeed, you can’t tell much about it in words, but one thing is clear – the Lexus NX is suitable for ladies who love both the luxurious design and the inside of the car.
Specifications:
- Petrol 2.0 2WD 5-speed CVT / 150 hp fuel consumption 7.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 5-speed CVT / 238 hp fuel consumption 9.2 l/100 km
Toyota RAV4
Average cost: 2,000,000 rubles
As you know, if you want comfort even in the smallest details, stick to one brand that you respect. And in the case of Toyota, this is true.
Each car is unique in its own way, and the creation of Japanese engineers is no exception. The stylish body surprises with the presence of a plastic coating at the very bottom of the body. An interesting solution, but it was only beneficial - the black detail does not deteriorate the design, but only complements it. And besides, the coating does not turn gray after two washing sessions and does not collect dirt.
The Toyota RAV4 has a feature that is especially suitable for women. Thanks to the structure of the doorway, dirt and dust do not get inside the cabin. Now you don’t have to worry about having to clean the inside of your car every week—at most, wash the floor mats. The interior design is exquisite; decorative elements do not interfere with the practicality of the car, although they are made of plastic material.
The machine is a pleasure to use, although some problems may arise at the beginning. You need to get used to the car, and after that the driving process will only bring pleasure.
Specifications:
- Petrol 2.0 2WD 6-speed. CVT / 149 hp fuel consumption 7.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.5 4WD 6-speed. automatic / 199 hp fuel consumption 9.4 l/100 km
Porsche Macan
The mid-size crossover Porsche Macan belongs to the sports luxury category. This is a spectacular, stylish and memorable car, which is equipped with a powerful engine and at the same time is extremely versatile in use. During the development of the model, German engineers used the latest advances in automotive technology, including active all-wheel drive that distributes torque in real time, a modified Porsche proprietary gearbox, and electronic shock absorber adjustment.
Porsche's build quality is traditionally high; you can choose exclusive versions that use expensive types of wood and hand-made leather. Versions with diesel engines have become very popular in Russia, which are both economical and their use in city conditions is not particularly difficult. You only need to ensure timely service and maintenance of the crossover, performing such work and repairs in specialized companies, the craftsmen of which are well acquainted with the features of this manufacturer’s equipment.
Buyers are offered a choice of several versions of the car, equipped with both economical diesel engines and heavy-duty units with 440 horsepower under the hood. The car received powerful ceramic brakes, an electronic stabilization system, and a choice of sports or air suspension. The only drawback of this crossover is its high cost , so even used copies that are 3-4 years old are valued at 2 million rubles or more. In showrooms, the new Porsche Macan is offered at a price starting from 4 million rubles.

Renault Captur
Average cost: 1 million rubles
A bright and modern car, loved by many back in 2016. Many color variations will especially appeal to women looking for a car for themselves.
The main advantage of the Renault Kaptur is convenience. The trunk is roomy, although at first glance it may not seem so. Driving a car is pleasant, it drives smoothly, and the engine is not heard in the cabin.
The interior design of the cabin will be able to satisfy the driver's needs - good design, audio system, navigation, heated seats.
In general, Renault Kaptur is an option for those women who are not after luxury, but want a car with all the functions a person needs.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.6 2WD 5-speed CVT 114 hp fuel consumption 6.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 5-speed CVT 143 hp fuel consumption 8.9 l/100 km
Nissan Qashqai
A compact crossover with a modern Xtronik variator, thanks to which the car drives without noticeable gear changes, has good dynamics and low fuel consumption.
In the base, the buyer immediately receives electrical accessories, electronic safety systems, including a brake force distribution system and as many as 6 airbags. In addition, the passive safety of the car is at a very high level - 5 stars out of 5 in the Euro NCAP 2014 test.
BMW X2
Average cost: 2,500,000 rubles
This crossover is capable of making even a man emotional. A panoramic roof, maneuverability, load capacity and excellent maneuverability are not all the qualities of a car.
In terms of safety, controllability and maneuverability play a major role. In addition, various intelligent systems come to the rescue, aimed at helping the driver while driving. For emergency situations, a standard set of pillows, curtains and special fastenings for children is provided.
It is very comfortable to be in the BMW X2 cabin - the seats, the correct arrangement of parts and the design itself only play into the car’s favor. In addition, the car has the following as additional accessories:
- On-board computer
- Navigation system
- High-quality audio system
- Rear view camera and assistance assistants
Of course, this is not the entire list of car gadgets, but even this is enough to understand how pleasant it is to be in it.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.5 2WD 7-speed Robot / 140 hp /fuel consumption 5.8 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 7-speed Automatic / 192 hp /fuel consumption 6.8 l/100 km
Audi Q3
Average cost: 2,330,000 rubles
The combination of modern design with internal filling allows the Audi Q3 to attract a lot of attention.
The appearance is distinguished by several details:
- Bumper with large radiator grille
- Small headlights
- High rise
Obviously, these design ideas have a strong influence on the practice of driving a car. Thanks to the landing, the car does not collect all the speed bumps, and the headlights, despite their not the largest size, are quite helpful at night.
The interior includes everything you need: climate control, a monitor with a multimedia system, heated seats and steering wheel, electric windows. The spaciousness deserves special mention - there is enough space for five people to sit comfortably.
It is unlikely that this will attract women much, but the car has good speed. If you want to overtake someone on the highway, you can do it without any extra effort.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.4 FWD 7-speed Robot 150 hp fuel consumption 5.9 l/100 km
Honda CR-V
A beautiful and modern-looking compact crossover, characterized by good dynamics, modest fuel consumption and a high level of safety. All-wheel drive and a CVT are a combination for the city or light rough terrain, not off-road.
The base is equipped with an active braking system that monitors cars ahead and sends a signal to the driver if there is a danger of an accident.
We recommend this car to those who are willing to pay extra for style and beauty.
Mercedes-Benz GLA
Average cost: 2,600,000 rubles
Harmonious body shapes, noticeable aerodynamics and powerful engines - the Germans can be praised for at least this. And the technological component is in no way inferior to other parameters; the machine is equipped with everything possible.
Many people, when they hear the word “Mercedes,” only remember luxury and comfort. But as soon as you get behind the wheel of a company car, you immediately feel how weak everything looks in words. Even the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz GLA suggests that it is ready for constant movement and use. Solidity and sportiness are visible throughout the entire body, both at the rear and at the front.
You don't have to worry about security. In addition to the standard protective kit, the car surprises with the durability of its body. Its resistance indicator is 0.29 Cx, and believe me, this is an incredible number for an ordinary crossover. The internal structure of the car exactly repeats the design of previous Mercedes-Benz models. The stylish design, made of high-quality materials, is combined with the ease of assembly of the car and its ergonomics. There are no problems with multimedia - everything is present.
Sitting in the car allows you to see more of what is happening on the road, which will help when driving in the city. You never know what you might miss on the highway. The noise insulation is amazing - even when driving at 140 km/h, passengers will not hear a single sound from the engine. And with the music on, travel will become even more of a pleasure.
Specifications:
- Petrol 1.6 2WD 7-speed Robot 150 hp fuel consumption 5.9 l/100 km
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 7-speed Robot 211 hp fuel consumption 6.9 l/100 km
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
Average cost: 3.5-4 million rubles
Perhaps the most expensive option for ladies on our list. And yet for good reason. The car primarily stands out for its technical characteristics, but in other respects there is nothing surprising.
The appearance corresponds to Land Rover models. Perhaps this is one of those cases when it’s immediately clear from the bumper that this is a representative of this particular brand. A large car stands out on the road to a greater extent due to its dimensions, but in general, someone may like it because of its design - beautiful and cool, as some girls say.
The situation with the interior is more interesting. From the first meeting, a woman may slightly dislike the internal structure of the car, but this is temporary. Usually, shortcomings in the seat coverings are noted, but that’s where the complaints end.
The main advantage is the process of movement itself. The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque truly shines outside the city. There you can increase the speed, but after all, this is a crossover and it is needed precisely for such terrain. While driving, the car shows its controllability and maneuverability, although it is unusual to think so about cars with such dimensions.
Just look at these numbers and you'll understand why Land Rover is charging this price. True, you will need to spend more on gasoline than usual, but there is nothing to worry about.
Specifications:
- Petrol 2.0 4WD 9-speed Automatic transmission 200 hp fuel consumption 7.7 l/100 km
Skoda Yeti
Quite an original car, distinguished by a modest exterior and a simple interior.
Spacious interior, but small trunk, decent handling, but rather harsh suspension. We believe that a car from a Czech manufacturer is perfect for women who pick up their children from school every day, go shopping and want to save money on buying a new car.
The base crossover has front-wheel drive and a manual transmission, so it’s worth paying extra for a six-speed automatic, but all-wheel drive is not required in the city.
Girls will be pleased with the parking assistant, which turns on when reverse gear is activated.
What to choose?
In this article, we have provided a list of the best crossovers for women in 2022. So, which cars stand out from others:
- If you need a car with a powerful engine, cool design and are willing to spend money on it, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is your choice.
- For lovers of an aggressive and bright appearance, the Mazda CX5 is suitable, as it can also surprise with its interior design.
- For fans of the German automobile industry, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is definitely suitable. It has both a stylish design and excellent technical and electronic filling. Moreover, it will definitely be useful to those who are worried about the safety of themselves and their loved ones.
Remember that the decisive choice is always yours!
By what criteria does a woman choose a car?
If we are talking about buying a crossover for a woman, you should understand that the selection criteria will be special - not the same as for a man. In addition to technical qualities and high reliability, women will definitely inquire about the following features of the car:
- the appearance of the car should not be brutal, but beautiful;
comfortable driver's seat;
convenient opportunity to transport children;
“light” steering wheel that will respond to a minimum of effort;
presence of a navigation system;
availability of a security system;
the presence of an electronic system that facilitates the parking process;
- wide view for the driver.
A modern crossover is quite capable of satisfying all of the above requirements. In urban conditions, long sedans, large SUVs or city hatchbacks are clearly inferior to compact, high-quality SUVs.
Moreover, the cost of such a car does not have to be very high. For quite reasonable money it is quite possible to find a car that fully satisfies the entire list of “female” requirements.
Thus, the list of the best “female” crossovers includes both expensive models and fairly budget options.
