Why do many car enthusiasts choose a front-wheel-drive crossover and what are its advantages? Obviously, the main principle guiding buyers of SUVs and SUVs with front-wheel drive is its lower cost. And this is to some extent logical: why buy yourself an all-wheel drive SUV or any other car with all-wheel drive, if its main role will be to travel around the city?
If you need to get from work to home or go to a suburban area, then front-wheel drive SUVs or crossovers will be the most suitable means for this. Let's compose short review the main "heavy" models with front-wheel drive, which are most common in the domestic market. Let's note right away: we will not consider such representatives of the SUV family as Pontiac Vibe, Ford EcoSport, Chevrolet orlando or other little-known models.
In most cases, price plays a decisive role in the selection of front-wheel drive crossovers. It is she who creates demand and makes any car very attractive. One of the most attractive SUVs in terms of price is the Chinese Chery tiggo... This is a fairly spacious vehicle that has a pleasant appearance compared to many of their compatriots. Its cost is at least 520 thousand rubles. But I would like to note that in this case there is something to pay for.
Chery Tiggo is a typical five-door front-wheel drive crossover, which has rather big dimensions. The length of the car is 4390 mm, the height is 1705 mm, and the width is 1765 mm. This allows us to judge that the Tiggo has enough spacious salon, in which the driver and front passenger are comfortably accommodated and, albeit with difficulty, but two rear passengers are accommodated. The car's ground clearance is 190 mm, which allows you to feel confident even in light off-road conditions.
4-cylinder injection engine The 1.6-liter Tiggo has 126 hp. and allows the 1.7-ton Chinese to accelerate to 100 km / h in 14 seconds. Slow enough, but we're looking at front-wheel-drive crossovers, not sports cars, right? It is worth noting that the car has a top speed of 175 km / h, which is enough to fully exploit the full potential of the Tiggo. The car has a high quality 5-speed manual. Low fuel consumption turned out to be a pleasant moment - only 6.7 liters in mixed mode per 100 km.
What can you say about the appearance of the car? Models of the last years of production have finally gotten rid of the cheap plastic, which was located in the place of the front and rear bumpers, and the design features have become more strict and consistent in comparison with the "blown" predecessors. General form Chery Tiggo can be rated at a solid four.
This extravagant japanese crossover pleases with the optimal ratio of price and quality. Why is the Juke and not the same Quashqai the most suitable front-wheel drive SUV for most SUVs? The fact is that the basic configuration of the Quashqai will cost the car enthusiast no less than 27 thousand dollars, and the Juke in the initial configuration can be purchased for only 22, 5 thousand dollars.
In addition to the price, the extended basic equipment of the Japanese was also pleased: even the cheapest version of the Juke has four airbags, heated seats, air conditioning and ABS and ESP. Paying additional 3.5 thousand dollars, a car enthusiast can purchase a complete set, which, in addition to the above options, will have air curtains, 17-inch alloy wheels, climate control, a variator and a display on dashboard... For 27, 5 thousand dollars you can buy a car, which will be additionally equipped with a rear-view camera and GPS-navigator.
Up to 28 thousand dollars, versions of the Juke are available, which are equipped with only a 1.6-liter 117-horsepower engine. If you want to experience a more powerful engine, then for 29 thousand dollars you can get the Juke, which is equipped with a 1.8-liter 190-horsepower engine. However, this is often not necessary for most motorists. For trips to work and back home, 117 hp is quite enough.
The appearance of the car is assessed rather ambiguously. To some, it seems unusual and even futuristic, while others see only an ugly 2WD-powered crossover. But, as you know, the taste and color ...
This car is one of the most successful examples of the combination of correct technical solutions and very competent marketing. Thanks to the fresh design and SkyAktiv technology, the car rose sharply to the top sellers from the very first moment of its appearance on the market. This front-wheel-drive crossover has a 2.0-liter engine that produces 170 hp. At the same time, fuel consumption in mixed mode reaches only 9.3 liters per 100 kilometers. This is not much considering the type and power. power unit CX-5.
The car has excellent suspension, steering well and good cornering, but the 5-speed automatic transmission transmission sometimes does not keep up with all the driver's commands. The best option the solution to this problem is the use of the Tiptronic system.
Among the shortcomings of the Mazda CX-5, it is worth noting its high cost: only the version equipped with a manual transmission and a 2WD drive will be cheaper than 1 million rubles, while the question of the compatibility of the compression ratio of engines and the quality of Russian gasoline remains relevant.
It was with the release of this model in 2010 that the era of the massive offensive of the automaker KIA to the top sales positions began. At the moment there is an opportunity to purchase Sportage for only 839 thousand rubles, while in basic configuration a petrol two-liter engine with a power of 150 hp is available, front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual transmission.
Many car enthusiasts should think about purchasing this car. Considering the quality of the interior trim and the options available (including separate climate control), this lively Korean is not inferior to such venerable representatives of the automotive industry as the Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5. It should be noted that a diesel version of the crossover can also be purchased for the given price, which is very rare.
Despite all the advantages, these crossovers also have disadvantages, among which it is worth noting a rather stiff suspension (especially on off-road sections) and excessively high fuel consumption rates.
Front-wheel drive SUVs of this company occupy a special place among all their fellows. They are, of course, not cheap - they make themselves felt German roots and high quality assembly. The only complete set that is in the range of our interests is called Trend & Fun. Its initial cost is 899 thousand rubles.
The car is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a volume of 1.4 liters, the power of which reaches 122 hp. In addition, the Tiguan has a 6-speed mechanical box transmission, regenerative braking system, electronic parking brake and many other options.
Only two words can be said about the build quality and appearance of the car: this is Volkswagen. The exterior is distinguished by its conciseness and tradition, which are inherent in almost all German cars... But conscience does not allow to call it boring - high-quality and predatory optics, a radiator grill make the car not so boring. In any case, the car will definitely appeal to those who value quality and good handling above all.
Despite the fact that the start of sales of this car was delayed in domestic countries, Duster set many records, showing an unprecedented growth in sales in just one year of its existence. Needless to say - this crossover is a real bestseller, which confidently took the fifth place in popularity among buyers. This crossover is available in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. But we are only interested in the first option. Considering all its characteristics, interior and exterior, the price for "Duster" is very low - only 20 thousand dollars.
The appearance of the crossover is quite successful for a car budget class... It will not be lost sight of in city traffic, and it looks very good against the background of seasoned SUVs. Of course, there are certain elements that indicate the budget of the car (for example, plastic inserts on the front and rear bumper), but these are the realities of the market. Both the exterior and the interior are characterized by simplicity and quality.
The minimum configuration of the Duster provides for a 4-cylinder 1.6-liter engine with 102 hp. Maximum speed, which the crossover can "show", reaches 165 km / h, and to the notorious "hundred" the car accelerates in 11.2 seconds - very good result.
Chassis Renault Duster has been specially modified for Russian market, thereby increasing its survivability and permeability. Front-wheel drive versions of the "Duster" are equipped with a semi-independent spring structure, which has trailing arms connected by a transverse beam.
It has always been a prerequisite. Recently, one more requirement has been added - automatic transmission(the share of versions with mechanics already accounts for less than 50%). In this selection we have included the most available crossovers with all driving wheels and automatic machines. And you will find a number of surprises in it.
Renault Duster (from 939,000 rubles)
Over the past few years, Duster had no equal in terms of sales - it was the most popular crossover on the Russian market. But this year, his leadership seems to be coming to an end - the attention of our compatriots has switched to Hyundai creta... However, Duster did not become an outsider. He finds his buyer among those who need a car combining. Renault has all this in abundance. But there are also disadvantages. First of all, these are errors in ergonomics, insufficient sound insulation and low quality of finishing materials. Duster has three engine options available, however, only a 2.0-liter 143 hp petrol engine is compatible with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission.
Renault Kaptur (from 1 109 900 rubles)
Kaptur debuted in the middle of last year and has already entered the top three. It was built on a common platform with the Duster, but you can't tell from its appearance - the design is made in a completely different key. Fashionable, fast-paced, sophisticated. It looks especially advantageous with a two-tone body paint and an orange appliqué from Atelier Renault. The salon is free from Duster's asceticism: the seats are more comfortable, the sound insulation is better, the equipment is richer. So, without exception, all Captura are equipped with ESP, a passenger airbag (in addition to the driver's one), air conditioning, trip computer, power accessories, heated mirrors, radio and alloy wheels... Like the Duster, the all-wheel drive Kaptur with an automatic machine can only be purchased with a two-liter 143-horsepower gasoline engine.

It is not surprising that with such an arsenal, Jimny will make his way noticeably farther on the off-road than other cars featured in the review. But on the asphalt it is not so agile - again due to its kondo design. And the dynamics are more than modest - the 85-horsepower 1.3-liter engine is barely enough.

6 most affordable all-wheel drive crossovers with automaticThe specifics and advantages of front-wheel drive SUVs
There is a fairly large number of SUVs with various drive options. It can be both four-wheel drive cars and cars with a drive to a specific axle. In the latter case, they will cost less than their four-wheel drive counterparts. You need to decide which one suits you best. However, if you choose a car with a single-axle drive, then you should stop at the front. Since it has greater advantages than the rear one, and even has some advantages that four-wheel drive cars do not have either.
What are the advantages of front-wheel-drive crossovers? Let's figure it out:
- Front-wheel drive crossovers are much easier to handle under extreme conditions. All you have to do is press the gas pedal to the floor and the front-wheel drive will do its job. It will be more difficult to drive a rear-wheel drive car, especially in ice, snow or heavy rain, especially if the driver is not an experienced racer.
- This advantage is not decisive, but it also contributes. In this case, we will talk about the greater "agility" of the car, and a little more efficiency due to rear axle... In the latter, there is a rather ineffective hypoid transmission, which gets very hot and requires a special oil.
- Front wheel drive is devoid cardan shaft, which means that you can not be afraid to bend it on a bump. Thus, the car gets more cross-country ability, which is especially important for an SUV. Even four-wheel drive cars cannot boast of such an advantage.
- The increased volume of the trunk and gas tank due to the absence of a rear axle, which is an indisputable advantage. The SUV will not only be large on the outside, but also very roomy on the inside.
Some disadvantages associated with the drive are also worth mentioning:- Usually, under the hood of such cars everything is tightly located, which will cause some difficulties during repair, since it will be more difficult to disassemble.
- Weak point front-wheel drive are quite delicate anthers that can be damaged. But, if you monitor their condition, the front suspension will work for a long time and reliably.
- If you carry a lot of passengers and heavy loads, this will negatively affect the handling and cross-country ability of the entire vehicle. This is due to the fact that without a load, the front axle takes up most of the weight of the entire car, but with a significant load, its share decreases, which will negatively affect grip. For this reason, it is better to travel light when off-road or in bad weather.
It is also worth noting that these two types of machines have the same disadvantage. This is switching to four-wheel drive while driving. Or rather, the slip that occurs in this case. A fairly large number of factors affect the path that the wheels travel. It can be uneven road, uneven tire wear, or even just dirt or water. And in the all-wheel drive mode, there is a rigid coupling between the two axles, due to which some wheels are simply forced to slip at the moment of switching the mode. Because of this, you can observe how the driver who decided to slippery road to switch the drive, it will simply lose control and fly off the side of the road. Also, in all-wheel drive mode, there is a large load on the transmission. To avoid this, cars with permanent all-wheel drive are produced. He does not have this drawback, but there are some of their own. This is typical, in principle, of any car model.Popular front wheel drive crossovers

The specifics and advantages of front-wheel drive SUVs
There is a fairly large number of SUVs with various drive options. It can be both four-wheel drive cars and cars with a drive to a specific axle. In the latter case, they will cost less than their four-wheel drive counterparts. You need to decide which one suits you best.

- The front-wheel drive is devoid of a propeller shaft, which means that you can not be afraid to bend it on a bump. Thus, the car gets more cross-country ability, which is especially important for an SUV. Even four-wheel drive cars cannot boast of such an advantage.
- The increased volume of the trunk and gas tank due to the absence of a rear axle, which is an indisputable advantage. The SUV will not only be large on the outside, but also very roomy on the inside.

For this reason, it is better to travel light when off-road or in bad weather.
Of course, four-wheel drive may seem like a better solution. However, is it really that complete? Almost all modern crossovers can be found with the 4WD inscription, but this still does not mean anything. This is due to the leading pair of wheels - either front or rear. The rest do not work most of the time and only connect for a short time. And only then does the car become four-wheel drive. Thus, most SUVs and crossovers can be divided into front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive with their own advantages and disadvantages.
It is also worth noting that these two types of machines have the same disadvantage. This is switching to four-wheel drive while driving. Or rather, the slip that occurs in this case.
