The updated Jeep Compass SUV. Updated SUV Jeep Compass Chevrolet Niva - subcompact crossover segment

The outgoing year turned out to be one of the most difficult for the automotive market in our country over the past ten years. Rising prices and, as a result, a sharp drop in demand for vehicles negatively affected the profits of almost all automakers. These destructive processes led to the fact that many models left the Russian market, and the launch of new products temporarily "slowed down".

Nevertheless, the relative stabilization of the ruble exchange rate led to the fact that in 2016 a number of automakers decided to present their premieres in Russia. This also affected the SUV market in 2016 model year, which will also appear in our country.

In this article, we will try to talk about real frame SUVs that will be available in Russia in 2016. There are not so many of them, but each of the presented cars is significant in its own way.

General situation on the frame SUV market

In recent years, the market for "purebred" frame SUVs has declined significantly. The reason for this was the emergence of a large number of "parquet" crossovers, which, with tolerable cross-country parameters, provide comfort and controllability of a passenger sedan or station wagon.

However, practice has shown that frame SUVs have their own consumer audience, and their buyers do not agree to "half measures". It is for this reason that in 2016, almost all SUV manufacturers decided to seriously update the model range.

They presented a number of completely new models that went far ahead of their predecessors in terms of comfort and equipment with modern systems, but at the same time retained the main feature of the chassis frame layout - high cross-country ability.

So let's see what they are - 2016 SUVs.

Japanese

It is known that on the Russian market the main part of frame SUV models is offered by Japanese automakers. Almost all of them offer completely redesigned versions of their vehicles, which are in different price ranges, but at the same time offer a high level of off-pavement cross-country ability.

Perhaps the first SUV of 2016 that deserves the closest attention will be the restyled version of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200.

The car developers did not significantly modify technical part SUV, which is already one of the benchmarks in its class.

The changes affected only the appearance of the car and the interior. In particular, the updated Kruzak received completely new headlights, somewhat similar to those used on the Lincoln Navigator and a new radiator grille. It is worth saying that such changes clearly benefited the car, and the appearance of the car began to look much more harmonious and less heavy.

Inside the cabin, attention is drawn to the new multimedia system with a touch screen, a different form dashboard and center console, as well as improved quality materials and finishes.

Even in the basic configuration, the new Land Cruiser will receive leather trim and a range of electronic assistants, including, which greatly simplifies the parking of a huge SUV.

The power unit for our market will remain the same - it will be a well-proven eight-cylinder 235-horsepower engine working with.

Of the prime ministers of Japanese automakers, no less significant for Russian market is the emergence of the third generation SUV Mitsubishi pajero Sport, which received a completely new design and reached a qualitatively new level of its technical development.

Mitsubishi premiere Pajero sport 2016 model year was held in Thailand in August, and the basis of the novelty was a platform from a new generation of Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck, sales of which, by the way, also started in our country.

The first thing that attracts attention in Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is its design, made in the spirit of new corporate trends. Sharp edges, complex shape of arrow-shaped lighting technology - all this works favorably on the image of the car.

Visually utilitarian in the former SUV has become more "premium". Perhaps this fact will slightly smooth out the strong rise in the price of a car in Russia, because the novelty will be sold here at a price of two million rubles (as you know, the previous generation of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport before the crisis was estimated at 1 million 400 thousand for the most simple packaging, and after the rise in price, the price increased to 1 million 700 thousand rubles).

Positive changes have also taken place in the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 model year. Of course, the interior is similar to the same trim used on the soplatform pickup, but the quality of the materials has become significantly better in comparison with the previous generation of the car.

Moreover, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport has not only a standard five-seater, but also a seven-seater version, which makes the car a good choice for a family. However, this news does not play a significant role for Russia, since "seven-seaters" have never been in particularly high demand in our country.

In accordance with the latest trends in automotive fashion, the center console of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 is equipped with a touchscreen display with good graphics, which is responsible for setting up multimedia systems, as well as controlling some of the car's functions. Also, the ergonomics have improved significantly, and the improved aerodynamic performance has a positive effect on the level of driving noise in the vehicle interior.

The dimensions of the new generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport have also been adjusted. The car has become a little larger - from now on its length is 4785 mm with a wheelbase length of 2800 mm.

Video - comparison of 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and 2016 Ford Everest:

The latter factor made it possible to increase the capacity in the back row of seats, and in front the range of longitudinal adjustment of the seats was increased (on a car of the previous generation, the limited range of adjustments caused questions from drivers who were more than 180 centimeters tall).

The SUV's ground clearance has also been increased, but here the difference with its predecessors is minimal and is only three millimeters - for the new version of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport ground clearance declared at 218 millimeters. However, this indicator is already very good and speaks eloquently that the novelty has completely retained the excellent parameters of geometric cross-country ability, which were characteristic of cars of past generations.

By the way, the increase in the retail price had a positive effect on the complete set of the car, which is already in the initial version, seven airbags, heated seats and steering wheel and parking sensors.

As a power unit Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 for the Russian market will be available 181- strong engine working volume 2.4 liters. It will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which has a number of modes for off-road driving and allows when driving on the highway.

Speaking of the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, one cannot but recall its "older brother" - the Mitsubishi Pajero SUV, which has long been outdated morally and physically. Last year, in one of our materials, we expressed the hope that a new generation of the iconic SUV will be released in 2015.

Many automotive experts assumed the same, but financial difficulties forced the Japanese manufacturer to reconsider its plans. According to some reports, new Mitsubishi Pajero may be born in 2016, but it is too early to say with confidence.

Let's just remind that the new generation car should become one of the most interesting proposals in the class, both in terms of cross-country ability and saturation with modern comfort and safety systems.

Speaking of 2016 SUVs built on the basis of pickups, one cannot ignore the iconic Toyota Fortuner for many countries, which has also been completely updated this year. In general, we wanted to talk about it at the very beginning, talking about the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser, but nevertheless we decided to talk about the car after the story about Pajero Sport 2016.

The fact is that these models have a lot in common and in most markets they are direct competitors.

Video - 2016 Toyota Fortuner Vs 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport:

However, to the great regret of Russian motorists, in our country Toyota Fortuner is not for sale. However, there is hope that with the change of generations and the beginning of the release of new items in Kazakhstan, Toyota will nevertheless revise its marketing policy and decide to bring this relatively affordable frame SUV to our market.

So what makes the 2016 Toyota Fortuner so special? Like its counterpart from Mitsubishi, primarily by design. The car of the new generation has gone far ahead of the rustic appearance of its predecessor. The quality of the interior panels has also significantly improved, so that according to these criteria, both competitors are quite worthy of each other.

For Toyota Fortuner 2016, the creators have provided for three power units at once on "light" and "heavy" fuel. The petrol 240-horsepower engine with a working volume of four liters will become a kind of "flagship" in the range.

There will also be presented two turbodiesels with a capacity of 144 and 171 horsepower, the working volume of which will be 2.5 and 3 liters, respectively. At the same time, when creating diesel engines, the developers focused on environmental friendliness, low fuel consumption, as well as reducing noise and vibrations, bringing the motors closer to gasoline counterparts in this parameter.

Video - SUV Toyota Fortuner 2016:

The economy has also significantly improved - "Fortuner" with the least powerful diesel can consume in a combined driving cycle about 8 liters of diesel fuel per one hundred kilometers, which is excellent result for a full-size SUV.

At the same time, all units can be equipped with both an automatic transmission with four or five steps, and a five-step "mechanics", which expands the customer's possibilities in choosing a transmission based on their own tasks and preferences.

Already in the starting version, Toyota Fortuner has permanent all-wheel drive and rear disc brakes with anti-lock braking system. Also, for a surcharge, it is possible to install an anti-skid system, which has special modes for driving on gravel or snow, as well as an assistance system when starting on a slope.

Interior fittings Toyota Fortuner 2016 has also gone far ahead of the concept of utility. In expensive trim levels, the car can have a beige leather interior, be equipped with an electric tailgate, a video system rear view, multimedia and navigation system with a touchscreen display, keyless entry to the salon and engine start using a button and a number of other technical solutions, which until recently were characteristic only of SUVs of a much higher class.

At the same time, the dashboard and center console in expensive versions have leather trim, which is also uncharacteristic for a car created on the basis of a utility pickup.

Ford

Continuing the conversation about frame SUVs of 2016, built on the basis of pickups, one more car should be noted, which, like Toyota Fortuner, has not yet been presented on the Russian market, but has a chance to get on it. We are talking about Ford Everest 2016, built on the platform of the latest generation Ford Ranger pickup truck known in our country.

Unlike Toyota and Mitsubishi, Ford engineers the creation of Ford Everest opted for a conservative and brutal pickup design. Of course, the exterior of the car has undergone adjustments, but the overall style remained the same, which had a positive effect on the recognition of the model.

It should be noted that new ford Everest is a classic full-size frame SUV with a length of over five meters and a mass of over two tons.

The comfortable interior of the car can accommodate, depending on the version, five or seven people and is made, as well as the exterior, in a rather conservative manner.

Video - SUV Ford Everest 2016:

At the same time, expensive configurations are distinguished by the presence of many modern systems and high-quality finishing using inserts for polished aluminum and leather trim. The center console features a high-quality eight-inch touchscreen display in front of the driver and passenger. The dashboard is also equipped with two electronic displays, which show the information necessary for the driver.

The engine range offered for the 2016 Ford Everest includes three units. The first of them is a two-liter gasoline engine that develops a power of 240 horsepower. The other two engines are diesel, with a working volume of 2.2 and 3.2 liters, developing the same power of 250 forces. For a less "volumetric" engine, the engineers managed to achieve such indicators through the use of turbocharging.

At the same time, two transmissions are available for diesel engines at once - a six-speed "automatic" and a traditional "mechanics". The petrol version of "Everest" is completed exclusively with an "automatic".

Structurally, the Ford Everest is a classic SUV with independent suspension at the front and continuous axle at the rear.

The car is equipped with an electric power steering, an all-wheel drive transmission already in the basic version, as well as an anti-skid system that has algorithms for working in snow, sand and grass, as well as acting as an assistant during a steep descent.

Brake system is also common and offers ventilated discs at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Expensive versions of this SUV can be equipped with most modern systems, including a complex for tracking "blind spots", traffic lane and others. The preliminary price of Ford Everest 2016 will be 35 thousand dollars, however, Ford has not yet informed about the start of sales in our country.

Another novelty of the SUV market in 2016 can be considered Ford explorer, which has undergone a number of improvements. In fact, the car known in our market is a cross between classic SUVs and large crossovers, offering the monocoque body and comfort typical of large crossovers. At the same time, the car has a large number of systems focused on off-road driving, which allows us to consider the Ford Explorer 2016 in this review.

So, what is the difference between the car and the previous version? First of all, the design of the car has undergone changes. In particular, updated Ford The Explorer received optional redesigned LED headlights, a different grille, and brace-style fog lights integrated into the redesigned bumper. In general, the changes have clearly benefited the large SUV and had a positive effect on its external perception.

In addition to the exterior changes, the interior of this large 2016 SUV has also undergone improvements. These changes for consumers are very significant and are expressed in a significant improvement in the quality of interior materials (recall that the car of the previous generation was often scolded for rather budget finishing materials).

Now the interior of the car in expensive versions is trimmed with expensive Nirvana leather, and on the front model, inserts made of natural ash or polished aluminum are used.

Also, the multimedia system with an eight-inch screen has undergone modernization, which now features improved graphics and speed of response to commands. The "multimedia" menu was also somewhat simplified in use, since the previous version "sinned" with a number of flaws in this regard.

The optional equipment of the car has also been revised by the manufacturer. In particular, to facilitate the parking of a five-meter SUV, two rear-view cameras are now installed at once, equipped with a self-cleaning system and having a viewing angle of 180 degrees. In addition, the car is equipped with a parallel and perpendicular parking assistance system and a number of other interesting technical solutions.

Past Ford generation Explorer was often criticized for its relatively low power engine for a car of this size and class. Updated SUV 2016 model year is now equipped with a turbocharged 280-horsepower engine of the Eco Boost family, developing a torque of 420 Newton meters.

Video - an overview of the equipment and capabilities of the Ford Explorer 2016 SUV:

This motor is aggregated with a six-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption of an SUV in a mixed mode of operation is about 13.1 liters per hundred kilometers. Also, a V6 power unit is proposed for the car, which has a working volume of 3.5 liters and a power of 365 horsepower.

Mercedes

Analyzing the market of American and European SUVs, one cannot fail to mention the facelift that the GL-Class from Mercedes has undergone. From now on, this large SUV is offered with a new name to match the changed model nomenclature of the Stuttgardt automaker. — Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The changes for the car are not very significant and include new lighting equipment, made in line with the trends of the latest models of the company, as well as new bumpers and an aerodynamic body kit.

Video - 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLS:

The car interior has also undergone revision and resembles that in Mercedes-Benz GLE... Also, the legendary Gelendvagen has undergone modifications, which received an upgraded suspension, as well as minor interior improvements.

Korean

Speaking about the "giants" of the automotive industry, it is worthwhile to separately talk about the manufacturers of relatively affordable all-wheel drive SUVs from Korea and China. There will also be some changes here in 2016.

In particular, Ssang Yong is actively testing its flagship 2016 Rexton SUV. While the appearance and technical characteristics are kept secret, but it is already known that the design solutions used in the exterior of the novelty will overlap with those on the SsangYong LIV concept car, which was presented in 2015 in Korea.

Video - SUV 2016 Ssang Yong Rexton:

It is only known that the frame structure will be at the heart of the car, that is, the Ssang Yong Rexton 2016 will retain the main advantage of its predecessor - high cross-country ability.

Chinese

Among Chinese SUVs, frame models are still represented by cars of the brand Great wall, specifically - the five-seater H3 SUV 2016 model year.

Despite the fact that this car is based on the frame platform of the old Isuzu Axiom model, this car enjoys well-deserved popularity in the Russian market due to affordable price, which even in the crisis year of 2015 did not exceed reasonable values, stopping at just over 900 thousand rubles for an all-wheel drive SUV with air conditioning and a number of additional elements comfort.

Great Wall H3 2016 has changed significantly compared to its predecessors. In particular, the design of the car underwent improvements: it received new grill radiator, which became monumental and large.

Also, the interior has undergone improvements: ergonomics have improved, the build quality of individual panels has improved, and the center console has become much more modern in design. I must say that Chinese engineers began to pay attention to trifles - from now on, there are practically no undisguised self-tapping screws and other technical flaws in the car interior that were encountered on previous cars.

Technical characteristics of the Great Wall H3 have not changed. As a power unit, a 116-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine with a working volume of two liters, working with a mechanical five-speed gearbox, is also used.

The traction characteristics of this motor are quite enough for a leisurely ride on the track and off-road assault. At the same time, high geometric cross-country ability, frame structure and four-wheel drive allow you to effectively cope with very complex road conditions.

At the same time, the Great Wall H3 is distinguished by its high roominess and provides a high level of ride comfort, in which it significantly surpasses many frame SUVs, including its main competitor, the domestic UAZ Patriot, which, as you know, has undergone another modernization.

Domestic

The domestic range of all-wheel drive SUVs in 2016 is represented by the well-known models Lada 4x4, UAZ Patriot and Chevrolet Niva.

Of these, only the UAZ has undergone significant refinement, which has received new front lighting equipment with LED running lights of an unusual shape, a modern multimedia system with a touch screen and a different dashboard.

However, changes in the domestic car market are also planned - more recently it was announced that work on creating a new generation Chevrolet Niva, which were previously suspended, have been resumed. The joint venture plans to present a new generation car by the end of 2016 - beginning of 2017. technical characteristics ah machine data is not yet available, but engineers assure that the novelty will retain the high cross-country ability of its predecessor.

Final analysis of the SUV market in 2016

As you can see, the SUV market in 2016 underwent a number of changes and was replenished with new and very interesting models. It's a pity that many of the cars mentioned in the article are not yet supplied to our country, and the manufacturers have not yet made an exact decision on the start of sales.

This is connected, of course, with a difficult economic situation and a sharp stagnation of the market, as a result of which manufacturers have become very wary of the domestic car market.

However, despite this, the appearance of a number of cars from the category of "purebred jeeps" speaks of a revival of interest in this kind of cars, even despite the widespread distribution of crossovers (by the way, by 2016, manufacturers "stocked" much more of them than frame models, and about we will tell you about the novelties of this segment in a separate article).

How justified will be the tactics of companies focusing on the development of the frame model segment - they will show real sales, however, we can already say that last year's increase in prices will certainly lead to the fact that the demand for SUVs in Russia will be very moderate.

After all, the pricing policy of most manufacturers has been adjusted towards a significant rise in price, and even budget models of frame "crooks" are in the same price range as "luxury" crossovers and sedans.

Against the background of this economic situation, an increase in interest in SUVs of Chinese and Russian production... Despite the rise in price, price adjustments affected them to a lesser extent, and therefore 2016 could be very interesting for the Russian car industry, as well as manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom, in terms of sales growth.

However, there is a chance that the stabilization of the market will nevertheless lead to a decrease in prices and a return of the level of sales to previous indicators. Perhaps, in this case, the auto companies will adjust the cost of their 2016 SUV models and still decide to withdraw many interesting models that are considered in this publication. It is difficult to predict how the situation will develop in reality.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport: price on the market

It is impossible to ignore the updated Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. The elegant visual change of the car will not leave anyone indifferent. Changed headlights have become more swept. But it is worth noting that the changes also affected the cost of the car. Previous versions could be purchased from 1.4 million to 1.7 million, but the price of the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is around 2.5 million rubles.

Updates have also affected the interior of the car, which is dominated by a chic finish only from high-quality materials. This unit has received a new seven-seat version.

Summarize

It is worth noting that the automotive world has undergone a number of worthy updates, thanks to which the performance and equipment of cars has leaped forward. The body design, changes in functionality, power and equipment with modern control systems could not but affect the cost of frame SUVs. Of course, improvements to the machine also affect the increase in the cost of the unit. Most of the models that received restyling were not presented to the Russian market, due to the unstable economy and a decrease in interest in expensive cars.

The appearance of updated versions of frame SUVs proves the demand for their operation. Despite the replenishment of the market with crossovers, which have good performance when passing a test drive, SUVs will not lose popularity on automotive markets, as they are the main way of a comfortable ride regardless of road conditions.

Crossovers, as well as full-fledged SUVs, are becoming one of the most popular car body options in the world. If you look at the 2015-2016 model year, you can find many new products in this segment, and the new offers have become quite adequate not only in terms of technical data, but also in terms of price. Each 2015 crossover has its own personality, the trend of the same design solutions has ended. And the new season 2015-2016 brings only positive trends to the segment of passable cars.

We offer you an overview of some of the new range of products that will appear on the market in the current 2015 or already in 2016. New technologies and beautiful design of car novelties will delight buyers in Russia, however, some updates will not be affordable for a common man in the street. The anticipated representatives of various classes will soon go through massive reviews and comparisons in magazine opuses, but for now, let's look at some interesting new SUVs.

Volvo XC90 is the perfect big SUV update

Photos of a wonderful new product from Volvo Corporation hit the network last year, but the start of sales was the 2015-2016 season. The lineup of the Swedish corporation has long been asking for a new design, as well as other technology, which will surely appear in the auto novelty. In Russia, sales of the Volvo XC90 began before 2016, the car offers the following features:

• the upcoming SUV update gets an all-new chic design;
• an excellent selection of materials and very successful shapes reign in the interior;
• the overview of technical characteristics is amazing - the line of engines is expectedly excellent;
• in comparison with competitors, the XC90 turned out to be more modern and also more affordable.

At just over RUB 3,000,000, this new luxury SUV offers far more than any other price contender. The 2015-2016 model year for Volvo was very successful, but it was this large car that laid the foundation for global innovations from the Swedes.

Land Rover Discovery Sport is a chic British jeep

The British are great at making cars, this is proven by the new 2016 crossovers, as well as true SUVs from Land Rover. One of the expected and at the same time unexpected novelties of the 2015-2016 season was the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which, even with a detailed review, has nothing to do with ordinary Discovery. A photo of a new car for Russia will tell you about the following features:

• chic elaborate design for all occasions;
• many new features in the interior, high ergonomics;
• completely changed control settings;
• engines for 2 or 2.2 liters with a capacity of 150 to 240 forces;
• only four-wheel drive and very impressive dynamics.

This 2015-2016 SUV is already on sale in showrooms across the country, but its price tag is not overwhelming. 2.5 million rubles seems like too much to pay for a crossover. If we compare it with competitors' crossovers with the same cost, then Discovery Sport loses in many respects to the novelties of other concerns.

Infiniti QX30 - a completely new representative of the lineup

Not so long ago, the elite Japanese corporation Infiniti unveiled some new developments. In particular, secrets have been revealed in relation to the crossover of the compact QX30 segment. These are small crossovers of the 2015-2016 model year that look great and guarantee the buyer a thrill from every trip.

Most likely, the novelty will receive 2-liter gasoline and diesel engines, both with turbines. A 7-speed automatic is also guaranteed in some trim levels, but there is no more accurate information about the technical part. The crossover clearance is 192 millimeters, which will be an important advantage for Russia. Beautiful photos and a price of around 1.6 million - that's what we know about the new product from Japan.

Mercedes GLE Coupe - artsy new SUV

The German corporation Mercedes can afford development in experimental classes. This is exactly what the new Mercedes GLE Coupe will be - a car that occupies the perfect line between crossovers and real SUVs. The car of the 2015-2016 model year surprises with its design, and also repeats the technical equipment of the regular version of the GLE.

Jeep Mercedes is tricky compared to the competition - finding world-class new items that are suitable for review when paired with a GLE Coupe is not easy. The 2015 SUVs from Mercedes have great styling, but the 4.55 million price tag has so far deterred buyers from the stylish Mercedes SUV.

Hyundai Tucson 2015-2016 - not a bad update

For the next model year, Hyundai will return the ix35 to its former glorious Tucson name. The crossover is waiting for an update in the lineup, and some of the features of the old Tussan will return to their rightful places. For example, a compact SUV will become more masculine. The novelty expected in Russia will shine with the following solutions:

• some design features will remain from the ix35, others will come from SantaFe;
• crossover will gain interesting engines with significant improvements;
• power units will receive power from 130 to 185 horsepower;
• the efficiency of technology will be highlighted;
• despite the pretentious modern style, the car will retain its advantages.

It is for these reasons that the crossover has a great chance of success. Moreover, the brand is quite famous. The corporation has managed to raise the recognition of the French name Tussan to a completely unexpected level. Now this novelty has become one of the most anticipated cars in our country that can turn the compact SUV market.

Summing up

We can consider for a long time the interesting updates that the coming model year is preparing for us, because almost every manufacturer considers it his duty not to stay outside the stylish and fashionable auto shows with the presentation of innovations. Therefore, each SUV from the 2015-2016 model year is adjusted to the required characteristics and expectations of potential buyers.

Competition in the class of crossovers and performance SUVs is simply unrealistic, each new product is a huge blow to all manufacturers on the market. And this is beneficial for the buyer, since brands are holding back prices and trying to offer the best technology.

In recent years, automotive technologies have been developing at an incredibly fast pace, and many leading manufacturers have already presented new SUVs that they plan to launch on the market during 2019-2020 - we invite you to find out what the new models will be interesting for and what their prices will be in the European and Russian markets.
