Millions of people choose sedans and hatchbacks for comfort and practicality. Four doors make it easy to accommodate all passengers, plus a trunk. There are currently two opposing trends in the segment. The first is the desire for luxury, the second is the opposite, to make everything cheaper. What they all have in common is improved fuel efficiency.

Subcompact class

#1 Ford Fiesta Sedan/Hatchback

The car is purely for the city. Management with a focus on sports. 4 cylinder engine, all wheel drive. There is an interesting option with a 123-horsepower 3-cylinder engine, but only with a manual transmission. There are many niches in the cabin for various little things. Visibility is excellent thanks to the narrow pillars. Plus latest version Ford Sync 3 information system.

#2 Honda Fit Hatchback

Last year, the Honda Fit was completely redesigned externally, now it is a miracle in terms of capacity. The rear “magic” seat folds into a flat floor. There is a lot of space in the back. In addition to its capacity, the Fit consumes little and drives briskly for its 1.5-liter engine.

#3 Hyundai Accent Sedan/Hatchback

The machine is optimal in size and price. Performance is closer to flagships. Interior and comfort are on par with competitors. Extended warranty like a cousin Kia Rio. Both accents, the sedan and the hatchback, are very roomy, easy to drive and nice on the inside.

#4 Mini Cooper Hatchback/Convertible

The bold, updated Mini Cooper breathes life into the subcompact class. Now the joy of driving is perfectly combined with 4 doors. And although the latest generations look a little strange from some angles, the cars are nevertheless spacious and practical. The price is really sky high compared to its competitors, but overall I’m pleased with the quality, performance, and many options.

Class Compact

#5 Kia Forte Sedan/Hatchback

Extended chassis warranty - 10 years, and amazing hardware. Buy or lease with confidence, the car accelerates well with all three available engines, has a sharp appearance and a spacious interior. The interior is friendly, high quality, with a classic design. 4 doors for the sedan and 5 for the hatch.

#6 Mazda 3 Sedan/Hatchback

A car with an established reputation. Offers the driver responsive handling, competitive performance and a distinctive difference. The current version is also very economical, with an elastic chassis, plenty of space for passengers, a long list technical features, friendly management and leading interior quality.

#7 Volkswagen Golf Hatchback

All of our compact car recommendations are based on the assumption that you're buying more than just an economical car. Volkswagen Golf has gone further; it is a comfortable and down-to-earth car. The salon is packed with top-end interior details. The standard turbo engine allows for both advanced acceleration and fuel efficiency. The Golf can only be purchased in the Hatchback body. The Jetta sedan is a completely different car.

#8 Ford Focus Sedan/Hatchback

The Focus isn't a segment leader, but it's still a good choice. Overall the car has decent quality and handling. Ford made a compromise between comfort and control. From technical innovations- Ford Sync 3 information system, top-end interior materials, sedan and hatchback body options. However, we do not recommend taking the 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine; its efficiency and performance are disappointing.

Midsize class

#9 Ford Fusion Sedan

Attractive appearance, precise controls, elastic suspension, quiet interior, luxury interior trim. Fusion also offers a wide selection power plants- two energetic 4-cylinder turbo engines and a pair of hybrid models.

#10 Honda Accord Sedan

A typical representative of a family sedan, as it should be. Honda follows tradition, it is safe, spacious, easy to drive. New features for 2016 include a refreshed exterior, new Apple CarPlay capabilities, and Android Auto app integration. Efficient and powerful 4- and 6-cylinder engines are available, plus hybrid and plug-in hybrid. In many ways, the Accord is the benchmark.

#11 Mazda 6 Sedan

If you like to drive and are looking at a midsize sedan, get the Mazda 6. Even if you don't like to drive, it's still a great choice. Just take a look at this. A sleek exterior, comfortable suspension, excellent efficiency (even without a hybrid option) and a spacious interior. In 2016, an even nicer design, even better materials and the best interface technologies in the segment were added.

#12 Hyundai Sonata Sedan

Externally, it is not at all similar to the previous generation and does not look sporty, however, as a family sedan it is just right. The new Sonata is price/quality. Extended warranty only for cousin Kia Optima. The interior is very spacious, usability is excellent, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now available. For efficiency fans, there will also be a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.

#13 Toyota Camry Sedan

The Toyota Camry has been a bestseller for many years, but in our test we found it to be one of the best midsize sedans. Toyota makes certain changes every year, this year the body and suspension have been updated, now it’s even more pleasant to drive, no matter the LE and XLE versions, or the more sophisticated SE and XSE. The interior has also been redesigned, with the Entune touchscreen interface now standard. Camry is at the top, although it may not be the best.

Fullsize class

#14 Toyota Avalon Sedan

Last year's model is in the top full-size sedans for several reasons. Attractive style, spaciousness, sound insulation, large trunk, and efficiency is above average. How about a 268-horsepower V6? Acceleration is fire, and the suspension provides tenacious handling. Hybrid models available. The interior finishing is masterful, and high-quality materials bring the model closer to entry-level premium sedans.

#15 Dodge Charger Sedan

The Charger is powerful, strong, with a rich heritage. With a dizzying number of variations, engines and options that keep it apart from others on the list. Rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. No other full-size sedan offers such a spectrum of power, from the base V6 to the incredible supercharged 707-horsepower Charger Hellcat. In addition, all Chargers have a spacious interior, a soft chassis and one of the best touchscreen interfaces.

#16 Kia Cadenza Sedan

While other large sedans in this class focus on performance and handling, the Kia Cadenza is luxurious and insulated from the outside world. At any speed and on any road surface, it's quiet inside. Similarly, any cracks in the coating can be passed unnoticed. It accelerates easily, but the performance is still not enough for sharp maneuvers. Considering the wealth of equipment found in more expensive luxury sedans, the Kia Cadenza is an excellent choice for the budget.

Lux Compact class

#17 Audi A3 Sedan/Hatchback/Convertible

This year the Audi A3 has efficient engines, but only petrol ones. Redesigned steering and suspension. The handling is nimble, the suspension is soft and elastic. In addition to the exterior, the interior is beautiful and meticulous in detail. Overall, the Audi A3 balances comfort, luxury, performance, with a compact size and a relatively reasonable price.

Luxury Midsize class

#18 Audi A4 Sedan

The main feature of the A4 is a full range of driving from comfort to sport, plus a refined exterior and interior. The engine is a turbo 4-cylinder 220 horsepower. The Audi S4 has a charged V6. The A4 doesn’t have it because of balance; the engine in the Audi A4 is both powerful and economical. As standard, the model comes with front-wheel drive and a CVT, all-wheel drive is optional. Boxes are also optionally available - 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic. The quality of the interior is impressive. A completely updated A4 will be released next year, but we recommend this one too.

#19 BMW 3 Series Sedan/Wagon

When this model arrived, no one was as revered as the BMW 3 Series, thanks to its almost magical suspension and handling. It is still the most luxurious sedan, with very comfortable seats, an abundance of comfort and technical features, and premium materials. Overpriced hybrid aside, all three rubles earn our approval. A benchmark in its class, a mixture of power and efficiency. If driving is important to you, there is nothing to think about.

#20 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Sedan

At first glance, the BMW 4 Series doesn't make much of an impression. The 4-door hatchback coupe costs more than the 3 Series, but has less rear seat space. In truth, it's all about style, with the added utility of a hatchback-like boot. Undoubtedly, the 4 Series Gran Coupe has all the attributes of a BMW - super technologically advanced but efficient engines, fantastic handling and premium materials in the finishing. Available engines are 4-cylinder turbo 240 horsepower, 6-cylinder turbo 300 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

#21 Infiniti Q50S Sedan

The Q50S has progressed through its transformation from the mid-range Q50 to one of the best luxury midsize sedans. The engine is installed 3.7 liter V6 with 328 horsepower. The transmission is a fast 7-speed. Rear-wheel drive is default, all-wheel drive is an option. The interior is pleasant and beautiful, despite the elaborate touchscreen display.

#22 Lexus IS 350 Sedan

The Lexus IS 350 luxuriously balances responsive handling, a powerful V6 and comfort that is often missing in sports sedans. The interior is carefully finished as you'd expect from a Lexus, but the high-tech design is a far cry from what we get from luxury Toyotas, and that's a good thing. Unlike previous generations IS, the rear bench can be occupied by adults and is comparable to other roomier members of the class. Keep in mind, however, that we only recommend the IS 350. We've already tested the IS 200t and the all-wheel-drive IS 300.

#23 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan

The Mercedes C-Class received a redesign this year and a new sophisticated style borrowed from the S-Class. The dynamics have been improved, the interior has been improved. This year the range of models has been expanded. In addition to the four-cylinder C300 are the diesel C300d, the plug-in hybrid C350e, a pair of AMG C63 models with turbocharged V8s and the C450 AMG, which fills the void between the C63 twins and the regular C-Class. Whichever model you choose, you'll get a truly expressive luxury sedan.

Luxury Fulsize class

#24 Audi A6 Sedan

The refined interior and abundance of technology in the Audi A6 make this sedan our favorite. It is as comfortable as a premium sedan should be. It also inspires confidence with its precise handling when active driving. The Audi A6 isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The 2016 version received many new improvements, including definitely more powerful 4- and 6-cylinder petrol engines, an update to the MMI info system and minor design changes. We also recommend the high-performance Audi S6.

#25 Audi A7 Sedan

Everything we said about the Audi A6 also applies to its A7 sibling. You can re-read it a little higher) What makes the Audi A7 different is its sleeker design and unique hatchback-style body. This resulted in less rear seat space, more trunk space and a higher price. 10,000 dollars more expensive than the A6. However, this super luxury sedan provides ample comfort, features and performance. We also recommend the high-performance Audi S7.

#26 BMW 5 Series Sedan/Gran Turismo

Even though it's last year Before its complete redesign, the BMW 5 Series is the all-time leader among midsize luxury sedans. While earlier BMW 5s were known for their sporting qualities, the current version places an emphasis on comfort and luxury. That being said, it is still a very capable machine. Our editors commend the 535d diesel for delivering great performance with outstanding refinement and fuel efficiency.

#27 Mercedes-Benz E-class Sedan/Coupe/Wagon/Convertible

There is not a single area in which the Mercedes E-Class outshines its opponents; rather, there is simply nothing to compare it with. From the signature comfortable ride and whisper-quiet cabin to the thud with which the doors close, the E-Class delivers accordingly. As an added bonus, it represents the strong design associated with Benzes of yesteryear. Under the hood you will find engines from the E250 Bluetec diesel to the 577-horsepower AMG E63 S, and in between the V6 E400 and E550 V8.

Luxury Flagship class

#28 Audi A8 Sedan

Like any other in this category, the Audi A8 provides a supremely luxurious interior with top materials and comprehensive high-tech features. At the same time, the A8 is a real athlete on the road, allowing you to forget about the size of this flagship. Power units This ship is also significantly different from its rivals. The super-charged 3.0T V6 should be enough for most, while the 4.0T turbo V8 will be ideal for those who enjoy an abundance of power. At the same time, the 500-horsepower W12 is a complete disappointment.

#29 Bentley Flying Spur Sedan

There are already better-equipped luxury sedans in this category for half the price of $200,000, but none offer the exclusivity or immaculate, vintage opulence and craftsmanship of this grand Bentley. A metal shift knob, noise-cancelling air ducts, stunning veneers and the softest leather imaginable are just a few of its indulgences. Despite its size, the Flying Spur also delivers stunning performance, which complements its secluded ride and confident handling. The price may be questionable, but you will enjoy it without question.

#30 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan

At once the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz line and a recognized technology leader, the big, fast and beautiful Mercedes S-Class is the measure of everything that other full-size sedans have been measured by. Countless advanced safety technologies (including near-full autopilot), ostentatiously valuable luxury perks (six seat massage settings) and variable game form engineering advances (such as Magic Body Control for the suspension, which automatically adjusts settings to the bumps in the road ahead), are just some of the possibilities. Plus, a range of world-class engines are available.

#31 Porsche Panamera Sedan

Despite its awkward proportions, the Porsche Panamera is fast, focused and especially mannered and continues to be drivers' choice of full-size luxury sedans. You can choose between a turbo V6, V8, turbo V8 and a supercharged V6 with plug-in hybrid to explore exactly how Porsche earned its reputation. There really isn't a full-size sedan that hugs curves as confidently as the Panamera does. Plus, the Executive model puts it on par with its competitors for rear legroom.

#32 Rolls-Royce Ghost Sedan

Rolls-Royce has long been the gold standard for luxury cars. Even at the base, the 2015 Ghost fills Britain's decade of legacy marques with incredible luxury cars coupled with polished performance. Royce's Ghost offers exemplary materials, sophisticated craftsmanship, a nearly silent turbo V12 and active air suspension for an incredibly plush ride. Even the standard wheelbase version offers amazing handling capabilities, while the extended wheelbase version offers limousine-like rear space. For those who can't justify spending $400,000 on a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a quarter of a million dollars for a Ghost may meet their uncompromising needs.

#33 Tesla Model S Sedan

In addition to being the most desirable electric car in the world, the 2015 Tesla Model C is simply one of the best luxury sedans, no matter where the power comes from. The line of rear-wheel drive Teslas is rich in options for 302, 362 and 416 horsepower engines, and there is an all-wheel drive version of the Model S-D with a dual engine. Not only does the latter provide better grip, but the top-of-the-line P85D accelerates this sedan from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating sedan of all time.

An article about the 10 most popular sedans in the world, their main features and characteristics. At the end of the article there is a video of tests of affordable sedans.

Sedan cars traditionally show stable sales year after year around the world. These cars do not have the compactness of a hatchback and the spaciousness of a station wagon, but they are truly popular among a conservative target audience.

Cars of this class occupy a special place in the Russian market, where they are considered the most respectable, regardless of cost.

Rating of the most popular sedans in the world


The first place is traditionally occupied by Volkswagen products. The Polo model, with sales of 698,182 units, owes its popularity to the sedan version, which, among other things, is also the most affordable.

Good sales are facilitated by the brand's reputation, as well as careful design of the car, adding solidity and similarity to the more expensive Jetta.


The Polo sedan actually replaced the outdated Pointer, which dates back to the first half of the eighties. Against his background new model looked more than advantageous, and keeping the price at an acceptable level allowed us to abandon newfangled design solutions and numerous electronic systems, which only added to the car’s reliability.


In the midsize sedan segment, the striking Elantra remains unrivaled. This is facilitated by regular updates, restyling, the company’s affordable pricing policy, as well as a high level of equipment, which is more typical of more expensive cars.

Excellent aerodynamics, availability of trim levels with powerful engine and the wide possibilities of transforming the interior allow you to attract the widest possible target audience. It should be noted that with each new generation the car moves away from the budget image, so whether it will be able to maintain its popularity in the future remains questionable.

3. Toyota Camry

In the business class, the Japanese sedan traditionally leads with an impeccable reputation and image of a car with ideal performance, the widest level of equipment and an unsurpassed level of comfort. Sales volume amounted to 754,154 units.

The spacious interior and radical design update in the latest generation have made the car one of the most popular. And the appearance in the line of a budget two-liter engine, as well as one derated to 249 hp. top-end - six-cylinder, made it possible to offer suitable configurations to car enthusiasts of different incomes.


Despite the popularity of the brand, this car has shown the greatest decline in sales over the past couple of years. This is due to the fact that the Focus, initially positioned as a full-size budget family sedan, became more expensive with each new generation.

Despite the fact that the technical level of a car is constantly growing, there are fewer and fewer people willing to pay a significant amount for a car with a reputation as an affordable folk product. Against this background, Ford even announced that it would revive the Escort project, which was replaced by Focus, but the global crisis did not allow these plans to come true.


The popularity of this car seems to know no bounds; all this is not due to good marketing and outstanding characteristics, but to the general interest in the car, the cost of which back in 1998 was announced at five thousand euros.

Renault Logan sales started in 2004. As expected, prices were slightly higher, although base rate in Romania it was possible to keep it at the announced level. Since then, sales volumes have only grown every year, which is explained by the excellent combination of maintainability, cost and size of the car. It was he who dispelled the myth about the complexity of operation and maintenance of French cars and gained Renault popularity around the world.

The car is still sold in two generations, the main difference between which comes down to the new body, since the aggregate part has not undergone dramatic changes. In both cases the platform is the same – mass B0.


Corolla, produced in different body styles, uniting all released generations, has already become the most popular car in history. As for sales of the latest generation sedan, things have also gone uphill here. This is reflected in the commitment of customers to a brand with an impeccable reputation. Pricing policy, however, cannot be called democratic, but the model has never been positioned in the budget segment, which plays into the hands of its image.

The latest generation of the model received a very impressive design, which made the car more aggressive and striking.


This is somewhat dissonant with engines with modest output and controllability, given for the sake of comfort, but such a move certainly increased popularity. The car has noticeably grown in size, which made it possible to provide comfortable seating for five passengers. And reliable units without newfangled turbochargers and an abundance of electronics allow you to operate the Corolla even in difficult conditions.

7.Hyundai Solaris

The third generation Accent, known on foreign markets like Verna, it breaks all sales records in Russia. This is facilitated by a unique combination of quality and bright design. At the beginning there were scandals associated with mediocre handling in corners and a tendency to skid rear axle, but timely work on the mistakes carried out by the manufacturer allowed buyers to discern a real “people's” car in this sedan.

The car is offered with two engines, 1.4 and 1.6 liters respectively, which allows you to forget about sporting ambitions. But an affordable price and bright appearance, combined with a powerful engine, would attract a significant part of the youth audience.


A car from the Korean brand, co-platformed with Solaris, has always been perceived as more balanced and sophisticated than its “brother.” This predetermined somewhat more high cost, which affected the fact that the model is quite a bit inferior in popularity to Hyundai.

The car was originally designed as a budget car, so the not entirely rational selection of options for trim levels, forcing you to buy an expensive version just for the sake of rear windows or a passenger airbag, somewhat reduces its popularity.


Despite the actual departure from the Russian market, the model remains very popular in the world, as evidenced by sales statistics. Over the past year, 176,535 copies of the Chevrolet Cruze were sold.

The key to the success of a model with Korean roots is a well-known brand, a good level of equipment and a fairly attractive price.


And the aggressive design and quality of finishing materials only contribute to stable sales. It should be noted that the last factor is very relative, and if you compare the car with full-size representatives of the D-class, the materials look somewhat rustic.

The car is built on the global Delta II platform, which, by the way, has found application in the latest generation of Opel Astra. Initially, the design was carried out by Korean engineers from the Daewoo company, which after bankruptcy came under the wing of Chevrolet, which is why in the eastern markets the model was called Daewoo Lacetti.


Our rating is completed by another model from the Volkswagen concern, which, thanks to its combination of relatively affordable price, wide range of options and rich equipment, is very popular as a business-class car.

Without being too fancy, the Passat offers levels of comfort on par with premium German and Japanese brands, allowing it to compete with them on an almost equal footing.

The eighth generation of the car made it possible to regain its former popularity, since the previous one was nothing more than a modernization of the sixth generation, dating back to 2005, which caused the predicted decline in sales. The model is still conservative and focused on the age target audience, which is manifested both in the appearance and in the interior design.

Conclusion

Thus, despite all their impracticality, especially in a modern metropolis, sedans remain quite popular all over the world. It must be admitted that in Europe this trend is already fading, and compact hatchbacks are taking over, but the American, Asian and Russian markets still allow hundreds of thousands of such cars to be sold.

Choosing a car is a complex matter and requires a serious approach. You need to decide on the class, brand, model, pay attention to a thousand parameters, because the purchase is not cheap.

Small class: Chevrolet Aveo, ZAZ Vida or Lada Granta?

The first two cars are very similar to each other, since the equipment for both was brought from Poland, and the assembly itself was Ukrainian. However, Vida never earned its authority, losing its position Lada Granta according to all characteristics. This car even outperformed Aveo due to its quality-price ratio. But Chevrolet, of course, remains the leader in this class.

Compact class

Japan occupies a leading position among auto-producing countries. The quality of its cars and reasonable prices have attracted buyers for a long time. In this class, the Honda Civic has the best performance.
This is not surprising - the car is equipped with the most modern technical solutions, the high characteristics of this model are known to car enthusiasts. If we talk about second place, then Kia is firmly entrenched in it.
The quality and price of these cars is attracting more and more buyers, and recently we can talk about a significant increase in sales of this brand. Surprisingly, Kia has even surpassed Peugeot - sedans of this brand, developed for Latin America and China, “did not take root” in Russia. Our compatriots didn’t like it technical specifications car and its design. It is impossible not to mention the Hyudai i30 in this list. The brand has been occupying a leading position in the domestic market for more than 10 years due to its quality and characteristics.

Compact plus class: Audi A3, Citroen DS4, Subaru Impreza, Hyundai Veloster.

Korean Hyundai, oddly enough, takes last place in this ranking. Surprisingly low technical specifications for this brand, complemented by a not very successful design, found a weak response from buyers.
The next brand is Subaru. The latest generation Impreza even outperformed in terms of driving performance and practicality. But the consumer was not impressed with the design - respondents rated it even lower than the Hyundai Veloster.
The Citroen DS4 brought France into a strong second place. Everything about it is attractive - technical characteristics, the presence of modern options, and an incredibly attractive design that even surpassed the winner of our rating - the Audi A3.
German quality, of course, is beyond competition. Anyone who can afford to shell out a large sum for an Audi probably won't consider other options. An absolute leader in all respects, this car ranks first among compact-plus class cars.

Middle class

Toyota Camry, Peugeot 508, KIA Optima, Hyundai i40, Chevrolet Malibu - there is something to think about. Cars presented in this class are quite popular both in Russia and in neighboring countries. And this is not surprising - after all, you can get good quality for an affordable price. The Chevrolet Malibu has the smallest number of fans. The main advantage of the car is its nice design, otherwise the car is inferior to its rivals. Significant disadvantages include an expensive motor, the maintenance of which will cost a pretty penny.
A little better is the Hyundai i40. If we compare the car with the same KIA, it is seriously inferior to it in all characteristics, including price.
KIA Optima deservedly takes third place. The stylish design of the Korean, which surpassed even the French production according to survey results, good driving performance - there is something to pay attention to here.
Comfort, safety and ride quality ensured the French Peugeot 508 second place. In addition to its attractive characteristics, the car stands out for its reasonable price.
The Toyota Camry is deservedly recognized as the best middle class car. Price, quality, characteristics - for all these indicators the car took first place in surveys. The only drawback was probably the design, but the Japanese can fix that.

Middle class plus

This is where the choice is really difficult - all the cars presented in this rating are produced by companies whose names are associated only with quality. BMW 3 Series, Volkswagen Passat CC and Citroen DS5 – it will be difficult to allocate seats. We give third place in the premium class to Citroen DS5. It’s not surprising that the French have once again done a good job on the design - this distinguishes all their cars. But in other respects, the DS5 is only slightly behind the German Volkswagen.
Volkswagen Passat CC - second place. This car stands out for its price-quality ratio, and ride comfort is also at a high level.
The absolute leader, as you already understand, is the BMW 3 Series. Here even comments are unnecessary - German quality combined with stylish design and the most modern technologies help the car win more and more fans.

Business class

And again BMW, but already in the 6 Series, is fighting with the Lexus GS and Hyundai Grandeur. It is difficult to choose between cars with almost identical characteristics. Despite the fact that Hyundai has been pushed back, in terms of basic indicators the famous Korean is practically not inferior to its competitors, and in terms of quality and price it even surpasses them. However, the fact remains that Grandeur takes third place.
The Lexus GS outperformed it quite a bit, showing slightly more power and comfort.
But the BMW 6 Series has surpassed its rivals in several respects, including handling, technology and prestige. And many buyers liked the design of the car more than the other two.

Multifunctional car: choosing the best

We will consider such models as Mercedes-Benz B-Klasse, Opel Zafira Tourer, Toyota Alphard and Lada Langus. We cannot classify them strictly into one category, so we will evaluate them from different positions. Thus, Lada Langus ended up in last place, despite the fact that it belongs to the popular segment. The joint production of Russia and France has good indicators in the price-quality category, but, nevertheless, the first place in this regard is inferior to the Opel car.
Toyota Alphard showed excellent results in the “practicality” category, even surpassing Mercedes, but was inferior to it in terms of comfort. And the design of the car, let’s say, is specific. Another disadvantage is the prohibitively high price.
Here's the design Opel Zafira The Tourer is far superior to its competitors. Moreover, the car surpassed them in terms of practicality due to its capacity and driving performance.
The image of Mercedes gives Benz opportunity B-Klasse is in first place. The best technical performance and high level of comfort confirm this. The downside of the car is the design, it leaves much to be desired.

Small crossover: Citroen C4 Aircross, Peugeot 4008, Opel Mokka, Renault Duster, Lifan X60 and Great Wall Hover M2

The Chinese Great Wall closes the ranking and is in last, sixth place. This is not surprising, considering the brands he had to fight with. However, the crossover deserves attention due to its driving characteristics, practicality and a price that is more than affordable in this class.
The Lifan X60 took fifth place, but the car beat out the Hover M2 only due to its more attractive design. Well, and a slightly higher level of comfort.
Renault Duster takes 4th place, losing to the German quality and design of the two French leaders and showing slightly lower technical characteristics than theirs. Although if we talk about the price-quality ratio, this car is undoubtedly the leader.
The Opel Mokka took third place thanks to its German origins. High driving characteristics, comfort and safety allowed the car to leave the Frenchman Renault behind. Even its design is more advantageous.
Peugeot 4008 lost ground to Citroen only in terms of comfort. The remaining characteristics of the two cars are similar. Thus, Peugeot is distinguished by its practicality.
But Citroen still gained great popularity. It attracts buyers with its design and high technical performance.

Compact crossover: Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 or Subaru XV?

Despite the attractive design, prestigious “name” and good characteristics driving Subaru XV could not beat its competitors and ended up only in third place.
Second place can be safely given to the Mazda CX-5 thanks to the modern technical solutions and stylish design embodied in it. Another plus of the car is the price.
Received first place in several indicators at once Honda CR-V: high level of comfort combined with driving performance and practicality. The only downside is the design - it is inferior to the more attractive Mazda.

Medium crossover: choosing the best

Again we can mention Great Wall, because the parameters of H6 are quite good. One of the advantages is good value for money. But the car ends up in last place most likely due to consumer distrust of the Chinese manufacturer.
KIA Sorento takes third place. In principle, one could expect more from the company in terms of design, based on the passenger cars presented earlier, but this time, apparently, the creators decided not to bother with originality. The advantages are good value for money combined with high driving characteristics.
Second place goes to the expensive Hyundai Sanata Fe. Attractive design, high performance combined with the most modern technologies and practicality helped the crossover outperform its competitors. Perhaps the price is its only drawback.
Leader in this class - Mitsubishi Outlander. The car stands out among others not only because of its progressiveness and name, but also because of its high performance combined with affordable price. This crossover has long gained popularity among Russians and, we note, deservedly so.

Luxury SUV: the best of the best

Mercedes- Benz M- Class is the absolute leader in this position, so there is no point in comparing it with other models. No one can compare with this giant. In terms of practicality, it can, of course, be compared with the Renge Rover, but in all other categories the English car loses to the German.

Sports car

There is plenty to roam in this category - Porsche 911 Carrera, Toyota GT 86, Subaru BRZ, Chevrolet Camaro, Mini Course - where to choose? A high (even too high) price distinguishes Mini Course, and this is what prevents it from reaching a leading position. Although the quality of the car is excellent, as is appearance. But this is not surprising, for such and such money! You can also note the practicality of the car, but for this category this characteristic is not particularly important. The Chevrolet Camaro is inferior to the Englishman in quality, but superior to it in design - the car is truly beautiful and stylish. And if we talk about comfort, its level is even higher than that of the Subaru BRZ. Subaru and Toyota GT 86 are practically the same thing. But the latest model wins thanks to its name and popularity among the population. In terms of characteristics, the cars are almost identical. What the Porsche 911 Carrera doesn't have is practicality. However, the car is equipped with the latest technology and has high performance.

Pickup

Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50 and SsangYong Actyon Sports. The price-quality ratio reliably keeps the Korean SsangYong Actyon Sports in the top three. In second place is the Mazda BT-50, although in terms of characteristics it is in no way inferior to the winner of the rating. Its main disadvantage is the design; the presented car bears little resemblance to a pickup truck. But the winner of the Ford Ranger has prestige and an attractive appearance. This is what the ranking looks like best cars 2016. Decide on the class of the car, and you can safely be guided by our review when choosing your vehicle.

The star of the budget segment, although it belongs to the supermini, is almost golf-class in size.

The Style package is actually a hybrid of Highline with Comfortline and a set of additional options.

The car is standing on alloy wheels and decorated with nameplates and moldings - so that the client can immediately see what he is paying for. True, the equipment exists only in a fixed set - in addition, you can only purchase the “Full Readiness” package for 6,990 rubles, which includes rubber mats with high sides and additional engine protection.

Despite the common platform with Solaris, Rio has a more expressive appearance and a more interesting interior. Due to the tighter suspension, the Kia is more willing to turn into corners, and the only criticism is that it is excessive nervousness when overcoming potholes. We are also pleased with the quality of assembly and finishing materials, and the interior is spacious for this class, although it will be difficult for three people to sit on the sofa. Buyers have the opportunity to choose from a variety of modifications.

Currently there is a discount of 60,000 rubles on the car, which makes the price more attractive.

Used prestige

Having up to a million in domestic currency in your pocket, you can take a closer look at well-equipped cars of prestigious brands. But with one condition - if you are not embarrassed by a used car, even if it is in the last months of its warranty. For example, it is not a problem to find a two-year-old Lexus CT or, say, Infiniti G in Moscow for an amount not much exceeding 900 thousand. For the same money, you can actually find a one-year-old Audi A4 without straining too much.

A higher class

Cars of a higher class also fit into the outlined framework. Do you want, for example, a Mondeo? Please. In a decent Titanium package it will cost you 929,000 rubles, but with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-liter 145-horsepower engine. The version with an automatic transmission will have to be purchased without alloy wheels, heated front seats and parking sensors for 989,000 rubles. You can get a two-pedal Mazda6 for 965 thousand, but only in the basic Drive version.
