And dirt is not scary: we choose the best cars with high ground clearance

All-terrain vehicles are necessary for hunters and fishermen, summer residents and villagers. And in some regions of the country the roads are so bad that only a car with high ground clearance and reliable suspension allows you to move normally, especially in the off-season. Therefore, such models will never lose their relevance with us. In this regard, we present to your attention a rating of the best cars with the highest ground clearance. It includes SUVs and crossovers, which can now be bought new in our country.

Infiniti QX80

All-wheel drive luxury car with good ground clearance. The ground clearance of the Infiniti QX80 is as much as 234 mm. Therefore, it has excellent cross-country ability and is able to conquer any off-road conditions. True, in our country it is usually not customary to use it for this purpose. Here, a car with a brutal appearance, an expensive interior and an incredibly powerful engine is often used as an ordinary city car for every day, designed to emphasize the high position in society of its owner. The SUV is equipped with a gasoline engine with a volume of as much as 5.6 liters and a power of 405 horsepower. The power unit is quite reliable, but not very economical. Even in the combined cycle it can consume more than 14 liters of fuel. The car is available only with an automatic transmission and has a full range of advanced options. It is famous for its spacious interior for 7 or 8 people and a trunk convenient for transporting large cargo.

The power of the machine's power plant is 530 horsepower. The maximum speed of the car is 160 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption exceeds 20 liters per 100 kilometers.

Land Rover Range Rover

Perhaps our most famous British premium SUV. Land Rover Range Rover is equipped with all-wheel drive and has a ground clearance of 220 mm, which indicates its excellent cross-country ability. Therefore, it is perfect even for significant off-road conditions. It is a pity that in our country it is not usually customary to use it for its intended purpose. The car is sold with an automatic transmission and a full package of advanced electronics. It is available with powerful power plants, including gasoline, diesel and even hybrid. The maximum power of the car reaches an incredible 565 hp. With. But there are versions for calmer drivers, with less power. A car is considered a sign of status in Russia. It is famous for its rather high fuel consumption and is not always reliable. And they can often fix it only at dealerships for a lot of money. And the new SUV costs no less than seven million rubles.

The best crossovers with high ground clearance

Crossovers are an excellent alternative to SUVs when you are looking for an economical car with high ground clearance.

In fact, they represent station wagons with increased ground clearance and all-wheel drive. With such a car, not only can you overcome any obstacle, in addition, it has excellent handling, especially in the cold season.

Volkswagen Touareg

The ground clearance of this German is 26.2 cm (previously it was 26.5 cm). At the same time, despite the reduction in ground clearance, the model demonstrates simply excellent cross-country ability. In addition, we are pleased with the rich equipment, as well as a large number of auxiliary options, thanks to which the driving process becomes even easier and more convenient. The advantages of the model include:

• ease of control;
• high driver position;
• excellent assembly;
• good engine dynamics;
• innovative seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The model will cope perfectly with any suburban routes, which makes trips outside the city a pleasant experience. At the same time, such a car is well suited for daily use around the city.

Toyota RAV4

If you are looking for cars with a ground clearance above 170 mm, then you should take a closer look at the Toyota RAV4. The ground clearance here reaches as much as 197 millimeters. Perhaps not the largest figure in our rating, but the wheelbase is 266 cm. Other advantages of the model include:

• the presence of front and rear disc brakes;
• perfect handling;
• huge salon;
• 2.5 liter engine, which is paired with automatic transmission.

Among the minuses, it is worth highlighting the high fuel consumption of the model (in the city it takes about 12 liters). There are no other significant shortcomings.

Audi Q7

The roomy and presentable crossover is distinguished by its huge dimensions. Externally, such a vehicle looks very impressive and menacing, so it bears little resemblance to a passenger car. The ground clearance only further enhances the impression - it reaches as much as 27 cm. Other advantages worth emphasizing:

• all-wheel drive transmission with built-in Quattro system;
• availability of all modern equipment;
• high build quality.

There is nothing scary for the model in any road obstacles. Its quality is confirmed by the high sales of the car - in Europe it is the most popular model in its class.

Land Rover EVoque

But if you are looking for a stylish and fashionable car, then the Land Rover EVoque crossover will delight you with its eye-catching exterior, which will be remembered by everyone. In addition to the external design, it also has good ground clearance, which reaches 22 cm. The car is universal, perfect for both men and women. Other advantages include:

• high-quality sound insulation;
• fairly low fuel consumption (about 10.5 liters in the city, which is not so much for a crossover of this size);
• comfortable and practical interior (inside you will find many useful functional options);
• high-quality engine with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 190 horses.

At the same time, it is worth noting that the suspension is quite stiff, which is strongly felt while driving the car.

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Cars of this model became widely known in Russia back in the 90s of the twentieth century. Today they are no longer so popular in our country. But the Jeep Grand Cherokee still has fans. This is not surprising, since the all-wheel drive SUV has incredible cross-country ability and a huge ground clearance of 218 mm. Its speed and power qualities are also impressive. Now the car is equipped only with powerful gasoline power plants. The American's maximum power reaches a record 710 horsepower. However, the car is sold only with automatic transmission. It is considered quite safe and reliable. The car has high fuel consumption and quite expensive maintenance. But at the same time, it is well known to many specialists, and therefore there should not be any special problems with its maintenance and repair in our country.

High clearance sedans: the most popular models

Compactness and affordable cost have made such cars one of the most popular in our country. In addition, the models stand out for their attractive appearance, representativeness and ease of maintenance.

In addition, all-wheel drive sedans with high ground clearance demonstrate excellent cross-country ability.

Now we will discuss models that will delight us with their ground clearance.

Volkswagen Polo

The ground clearance of this model reaches 17 cm. Combined with high-quality assembly and excellent dynamics, this makes the car an excellent option for driving both on the streets and off-road. Among the main characteristics of the model it is worth highlighting:

• engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 105 horsepower;
• manual five-speed gearbox (or 6-speed robot);
• good dynamics (with a manual you can take a hundred in 10.5 seconds).

Chevrolet Lanos

First of all, it is worth emphasizing the affordable cost of the model, especially if you look closely at the secondary market. Many people don’t like the design of the car, but this is a matter of taste and preference. In any case, a sedan with a ground clearance of 16 cm deserves your attention. In addition, the model pleases us:

• 1.5 liter engine and 86 horses;
• high-quality five-speed transmission;
• good dynamics (acceleration to 100 km/h will take 12.5 seconds);
• quite comfortable fit.

At the same time, the car takes quite a lot of fuel - in city conditions, some models require about 10 l/100 km.

Toyota Camry

This high-clearance sedan has become an incomparable world leader in many respects. The machine pleases with its performance and excellent functionality. The design is classic, but this is only for the benefit of the car. It especially stands out for its high-quality assembly.

Of the main parameters, it is necessary to say about:

• ground clearance of 16 cm;
• convenient disembarkation and embarkation;
• wide selection of high-quality motors;
• excellent gearboxes that are designed to save fuel;
• presentable appearance;
• relatively low cost (about 998 thousand rubles).

An increased level of comfort allows you to enjoy traveling in a premium car even when purchasing the basic version.

Nissan Almera

To be honest, the ground clearance here is not that great - only 15 cm. At the same time, this is quite enough to feel comfortable in the city. On the other hand, the model has a lot of other positive qualities:

• powerful 1.5-liter engine and 102 horses;
• excellent dynamics (with mechanics, 100 km is taken in 10 seconds);
• spacious fuel tank (50 l);
• the ability to choose a model with automatic transmission or manual gearbox);
• stylish appearance.

In addition, you need to take into account that this vehicle is a Japanese car, which indicates its quality and reliability. In addition, you can feel good in this Nissan even while driving with not very high-quality fuel.

Fiat Punto

This compact Italian car has a ground clearance of 16 cm and an economical engine. Main parameters:

• 1.3 liter engine and 85 horses;
• five-speed manual transmission;
• acceleration to hundreds in 13.1 seconds;
• excellent efficiency (in the city it takes 4.4 liters, outside the city - 2.9 liters).

Audi Q7

The premium crossover of the famous German brand has almost the highest ground clearance in its class, amounting to as much as 235 mm. The Audi Q7 is reliable, comfortable and safe. Despite its impressive speed and power qualities, it is quite economical and is available only with a 3-liter diesel engine. Its power is as much as 249 “horses”. The car is sold with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It features a spacious interior and a spacious trunk. Despite the fact that in our country the crossover is usually used in big cities, it will cope perfectly with any off-road conditions. The vehicle's cross-country ability is in no way inferior to real SUVs and even surpasses some of them. Thanks to a variety of electronic assistants, a high degree of safety and comfort, the car is perfect for travel. Moreover, in Russia it is considered an indicator of luxury and wealth. The cost of a new car now starts at about 5.5 million rubles.

Choosing a universal car for the family

Classic station wagons have ceased to be in demand in the automotive market in Russia due to interest in crossovers and SUVs, overpriced compared to sedans with similar technical characteristics (in addition to dimensions).

Therefore, automakers use a trick: they combine 2 types of car body (station wagon + crossover) and, following the needs of buyers, produce off-road models. The best representatives of this hybrid class of station wagons are Vesta SW Cross, Octavia Scout, Outback.

Advantages

1. Volume trunk.
2. Possibility to transport long and bulky loads after folding the seats.
3. Large load capacity.
4. Spacious salon.
5. Multitasking car, well suited for business (transporting goods, tools, etc.) and family trips.

Flaws

1. Not enough cross-country ability compared to crossovers and SUVs.>
2. More rigid suspension settings, which are aimed at transporting goods, which affects driving comfort.
3. The increased overall dimensions, compared to sedans and hatchbacks, make it difficult to park and make turns in narrow courtyards crowded with vehicles.
4. Higher price compared to its closest relative – the sedan.

Criterias of choice

• type of station wagon - urban or all-terrain;
• The character and purpose of the car is calm and practical (for urban use), sporty-aggressive (for active driving on high-quality asphalt roads), durable, reliable and comfortable (for long trips).
• the volume of the luggage compartment, the convenience of transforming the interior for transporting goods of different dimensions;
• spaciousness of the interior, ease of seating for rear passengers, amount of free space above their heads;
• equipped with security systems, the presence of road assistants and assistants;
• overall overall dimensions of the vehicle and ground clearance;
• technical characteristics of the engine, type of gearbox, presence of a 4x4 system (for all-terrain models);
• quality of finishing and practicality of the interior;
• appearance of the car;
• vehicle equipment, the presence of a climate system, a multimedia complex with a touch screen, electrical accessories, modern LED optics, etc.;
• number of niches, shelves and pockets in the cabin for storing small items.

BMW X5

The premium Bavarian crossover with all-wheel drive has a ground clearance of 209 mm. This indicates its good cross-country ability. The BMW X5 can be purchased with both a diesel and a gasoline engine. There are power units for every taste, both for lovers of drive and for fairly calm motorists. The maximum power of the car reaches 625 horsepower. True, the fuel consumption of such an engine will not be very low. With proper maintenance and proper operation, the car is quite reliable. But its maintenance requires significant costs. The machine is equipped with the most advanced electronics. It offers excellent comfort and safety. It has an almost complete set of the most modern equipment. But such a crossover is not cheap. In the minimum configuration, now you will have to pay at least 5,500,000 rubles for it, or even more.

Types of clearance

Due to the fact that each car has a different ground clearance, we will divide it into three categories:

1. Small – passenger cars.
2. Medium – SUVs and crossovers.
3. The big one is SUVs.

If you haven't yet understood why this is so, now you will. Since there is no single established point for measuring ground clearance, I will show you the difference in readings between these three options based on the most popular lowest elements of the car, the front bumper and the sump housing.

The ground clearance for the above types of cars looks like this:

• Passenger cars - 14-20 cm from the bumper and 12-17 cm from the pan.
• Crossovers and SUVs – 18-25 cm, 17-21 cm.
• SUVs – 20-35 cm, from 20 cm and above.

The highest clearance value is found in specialized equipment. For example, for a conventional row-crop tractor this figure can reach up to 50-70 cm, and in the case of construction equipment, up to 200 cm.

Be that as it may, ground clearance has been and remains an individual characteristic of each vehicle. And although many experts worked to classify cars on this basis, they were not able to do this completely. Therefore, all these three groups should be taken somewhat conditionally, because there are often cases when the ground clearance of an ordinary passenger car is several times higher than the value of a crossover or the same SUV.

Mitsubishi Outlander

Mitsubishi Outlander is a very popular crossover from a famous Japanese brand. It is in demand not only new, but also in the secondary market. The car is famous for its excellent cross-country ability, especially with all-wheel drive, and its ground clearance is 215 mm. Not every modern SUV has this ground clearance, so the car is perfect not only for the highway and the city, but also for off-road use. The crossover runs exclusively on gasoline. The consumer can choose from 2, 2.4 or 3 liter engines. Their power is 146, 167 or 227 horsepower, respectively. The car can be equipped with a CVT or automatic transmission. Versions with a continuously variable transmission are not very popular with many Russians, since this unit is considered short-lived, unreliable and quite expensive to repair and maintain. The car features a comfortable and modern interior with good spaciousness, as well as a recognizable exterior design. Its trunk is quite large and suitable for transporting large items and items. The car is quite affordable for many Russians. Even in the cheapest trim levels it is equipped quite well. The Outlander is considered safe, durable and unpretentious. It is known for its relatively low fuel consumption.

Lada Largus

Although the radiator grill of this high-clearance station wagon still bears the Zhiguli logo, everyone is well aware that this car is now produced by the Romanian division of Renault. If we look at a car produced in 2015, the spacious luggage compartment immediately catches our eye. At the same time, the power of the car’s power unit is 87 hp. With. with a volume of 1.6 liters. On the secondary market, such a car can be easily found in decent condition at a cost of about 300 thousand rubles. More powerful car with 106 hp. With. will cost 100,000 more. And if we are talking about a budget station wagon with high ground clearance that has just rolled off the assembly line, then in the standard configuration it will cost no more than 537,000 rubles.

Among the advantages of this model, many note the truly impressive dimensions of the luggage compartment. It can hold up to 2.5 cubic meters of cargo. If it’s not so important to transport things, but passengers remain a priority, then this car clearly wins here too. It is worth noting that Lada Largus is almost the only passenger station wagon with high ground clearance and a large trunk, which can simultaneously transport 7 people. In addition, the vehicle’s suspension copes well with Russian roads, for which Largus becomes one of the most popular cars.

But it was not without its drawbacks. Some note that domestic assembly (no matter where it is produced, but it is still carried out in the Russian Federation) leaves much to be desired. First of all, car owners pay attention to ergonomic flaws. In addition, the car does not have an automatic transmission. Although some, on the contrary, are happy with the good old mechanics.

Nissan X-Trail

Nissan X-Trail is a very popular crossover in Russia from the famous Japanese manufacturer. It has excellent cross-country ability, especially in versions with all-wheel drive, as it has truly off-road ground clearance - as much as 210 mm. The car is very comfortable and safe. It is equipped with many modern electronic options, many of which are usually found in cars of a higher price category. The machine is offered with economical and reliable engines that run on diesel fuel or gasoline. The car can be equipped with either a reliable manual transmission or a rather delicate and demanding CVT. In general, the crossover is considered economical, roomy, safe and comfortable. There are many configurations to suit every taste. Even the cheapest versions can boast excellent equipment. At the same time, the cost of a car is now quite low. It starts from approximately 1,800,000 rubles.

LADA 4×4 and Chevrolet Niva

The secret of Vesta’s lack of all-wheel drive, perhaps, lies in the fact that no one would take the Niva. The first domestic crossover rises above the asphalt by 205 mm, and the version created together with Chevrolet is already 220 mm.

In addition to high ground clearance, the driver can expect all-wheel drive, low weight, cross-axle differentials on two axles at once and thoughtful body geometry with favorable approach and departure angles. And the Niva also has permanent all-wheel drive, low-speed steering and differential locking.

These models are prime examples that capable cars don't have to be expensive. The average cost of a LADA 4×4 is 312 thousand rubles, a Chevrolet Niva is 362 thousand rubles.

Be careful when purchasing. Despite the fact that every third of the Nivas is given away without problems, there is a risk of buying a scrapped car, either in collateral, with incorrect mileage, restrictions or unpaid fines.

"Shnivy" are even more problematic. Most cars are sold after accidents, with unpaid fines. You can come across examples after a taxi, in collateral, leasing, with registration restrictions and twisted mileage.

Nissan Terrano

It’s not for nothing that the budget crossover of the famous Japanese brand ended up on our list, because it has considerable ground clearance, which is as much as 205 mm. Therefore, it has good cross-country ability, especially in trim levels equipped with all-wheel drive. The car is very reliable and inexpensive. Its cost now starts from about one million rubles. Therefore, Nissan Terrano is budget. It cannot boast of super-powerful and high-speed engines, or luxurious interior trim. Inside and out, the crossover looks quite simple. The level of its equipment is also poor. But it contains the most necessary things for comfort and safety. True, the initial configurations are quite poor. The car is available only with gasoline engines. The maximum power of the car is 143 hp. With. Japanese engines are very reliable and economical. Nissan Terrano can be purchased with both manual and automatic transmission.

Opel Mokka (Length - 4277 mm): from 750 thousand rubles (Price in Belarus)

Another stunning compact crossover, which is no longer officially presented in Russia. But nevertheless, we had to include it in our rating list, since the car really deserves our attention. Currently, this is Opel's best offer in the compact crossover class. The Opel Mokka is considered quite competitive compared to other similar crossover cars. The car in its basic configuration is equipped with a 1.8 liter engine producing 140 hp. If you want to buy this Mokka crossover, then you can go to Belarus, where this model is officially presented on the car market. The average cost of a car today is 750 thousand rubles.

Many motorists believe that this compact crossover is better than the standard VW Golf hatchback. Despite all these reviews, we do not recommend purchasing this car now. We must wait for the new generation of VW Tiguan cars to go on sale.

Yes, of course, the new model of this car will be more expensive than the current existing generation. But by overpaying for a new model, you will get a car equipped with new, modern electronic technologies, which means you will get yourself a very economical car compared to today’s generation of cars.

If you do not want to buy an expensive premium crossover of large sizes, and do not want to buy an economy car, then the best solution would be to buy a compact crossover Audi Q3, which will not only be trimmed with luxury trim, but also equipped with premium features. This car is definitely more luxurious than the VW Tiguan. By purchasing a car with an average configuration, you will receive a well-equipped crossover that will have everything you need.

If you're looking for a more luxurious but efficient small crossover that won't let you down in the winter, the GLA is a worthy option.

The previous generation of BMW X1 cars is based on the Series E91 platform, on the basis of which the 3-Series cars were also produced. It was an amazing car that went down in the history of the company as the sportiest and most luxurious car. This is what fans of BMW cars have always expected and are waiting for today.

The new generation of BMW X1 cars is based and created on the same platform on which Mini cars are produced today, which are based on front-wheel drive technology. As a result, this new X1 became front-wheel drive. Perhaps for some this may seem like a step backwards.

But as it turned out, for those who have already owned, own, or are planning to purchase a new X1 crossover, they do not care what type of drive will be used in the car. By the way, this once again confirms that the Bavarian brand never releases this or that model if it is not in demand on the market.

The new generation of BMW X1 cars is not cheap. The basic configuration of the car with front-wheel drive is equipped with a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder engine (power 136 hp), it costs from 1.8 million rubles.

Many foreign auto journalists have repeatedly written laudatory reviews about this crossover, which looks amazing both inside and out. Its interior is especially surprising. This car will allow the driver and passengers to spend time comfortably in the car during a long trip on the highway. Despite its modest size, the car is quite spacious inside.

But it also has disadvantages. For example, a robotic gearbox and poor steering discourage many from purchasing it. The most amazing thing here is that this car is on the same level as the Jeep Renegade, which is many times better than the latter.

This Mitsubishi ASX is actually a Lancer sedan with increased ground clearance. The car is equipped with 1.6 liter, 1.8 liter or 2.0 liter four-cylinder engines. This model may seem a little outdated to many in its appearance, but still, from the technical side, this car model is quite capable of competing with many compact crossovers.

Yes, naturally, for the money for which a Mitsubishi ASX car is sold, you can, in any case, buy yourself such crossovers as Honda or Mazda, but all the same, this ASX has its own specific and individual advantages.

Thus, let's sum up a little. If you are not a student, but want to keep up with the times and always seem young behind the wheel, then you won’t find a better car today. True, you shouldn’t expect anything amazing from this car, especially the very ideal steering that is installed on the Crosstrek.

Renault Captur

Renault Kaptur is a compact urban crossover with a very bright and original appearance, which is loved by many mainly young car enthusiasts who want to become noticeable on the road. Despite its purpose, the car has a very considerable ground clearance - it is 205 mm. At the same time, there are configurations with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The car is only available with gasoline engines. The maximum power of the car is 149 horsepower. Russian-assembled French motors are reliable and quite economical. The car is available with a manual transmission or CVT. The reliability of the latter often raises doubts among car owners. The same can be said about the suspension. Therefore, the crossover, despite its good cross-country ability, is not recommended for frequent use off-road. At the same time, it is ideal for urban conditions. The car is distinguished by modern equipment, which cannot be called too rich. Many owners complain about the cramped interior and small trunk. They also talk about cheap interior plastics and poor-quality sound insulation, but the multimedia in the car is quite modern and multifunctional. It has a good sound. The car is considered one of the cheapest new crossovers in the country. Now its cost starts from a little over 1 million.

Renault Duster

Renault Duster is one of the most affordable and unpretentious crossovers on the Russian new car market. It has been popular among domestic car enthusiasts for many years. This is not surprising, since the car has almost off-road ground clearance. It is equal to 210 mm. At the same time, there are versions not only with front-wheel drive, but also with all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive crossover is practically not inferior to many SUVs in its cross-country ability. At the same time, its suspension is quite strong and durable. Therefore, the car is perfect for such use. The car is also famous for its fairly roomy interior and trunk, but it’s not easy to call it comfortable. The interior space is decorated with inexpensive materials, and there are few pleasant options. True, after a recent update, the crossover began to be equipped with a little more richly. In addition, a powerful version of it has appeared. Its power is 149 hp. With. In addition to gasoline engines, the car can also be sold with a diesel power plant. The car is very economical, and all its engines are quite unpretentious. The machine is equipped with a choice of manual transmission or CVT for consumers. The continuously variable transmission, according to many car owners and experts, is not durable. At the same time, the car itself is quite reliable and unpretentious. It does not require significant maintenance costs, and its cost now starts at about a million rubles.

Also, this list could well include cars such as Lada Vesta SW Cross and Lada XRay. They do not have all-wheel drive, but their ground clearance exceeds 200 mm. Therefore, these cars have fairly good cross-country ability. In addition, the new Lada Niva Travel has recently been released, which has begun to sell very actively, but it is too early to judge its popularity. Some Chinese crossovers also have high ground clearance. True, they are not as in demand by Russians as the models presented in the top.

Do the models presented here really cope well with off-road and bad roads? If you have any questions or want to tell us something interesting on the topic, write in the comments.

Criterias of choice

When choosing the best station wagon of 2021, several main criteria were taken into account:

• price;
• capacity;
• reliability;
• efficiency;
• operating cost.

This is what most customers rely on who need a full-fledged family station wagon.

The concept of the best station wagon is quite controversial and conditional, since a number of criteria and requirements can be presented.

It is difficult to say which station wagon would be better to choose, since the range is huge. And all the cars are conditionally divided according to their price range. Some can only afford a budget option, while others are ready to pay a large sum for a product from a leading automaker that produces luxury foreign cars.

This explains the approach to compiling the rating, which included representatives of different segments, ranging from very budget cars to almost elite cars. This creates the top 10 station wagons, which win in terms of reliability, availability, efficiency and other parameters. Here, each consumer must set his own priorities and present personal requirements for the car he is purchasing.

This is the only way to answer the question of which station wagon would be better and more correct to choose in a particular situation.

When determining which station wagon is best to buy for a family, the main points are:

Capacity. This is both cabin space for passengers and luggage space. The larger the trunk, the higher the position the car ultimately occupies. Economical. Here we are talking about the level of fuel consumption

Considering current fuel prices, in a large family it is important that the car can travel a maximum of kilometers on a minimum amount of fuel. Operating cost. This is the amount of money needed to maintain a station wagon
