When the BMW X6 (E71) SUV appeared on the market for the first time in 2007, the entire auto world, to one degree or another, was somehow speechless. Most car enthusiasts did not like the design of the car (in those years) in combination with its unusual body. For this very reason, BMW in those years received a lot of critical reviews for a new extraordinary car model. But contrary to all the forecasts of experts, this X6 series crossover has become popular throughout automotive world... Ultimately, at this point in time, there is an increased demand for this car around the world, and even for used models of this car. Today we will try to talk about this X6 series of cars with our reader. Let's find out together how much this BMW car-crossover in the back of the E71 is, as well as whether it is worth purchasing (X6) in a used condition.
In the history of the entire auto industry, BMW traditionally demonstrates its courage to the market from time to time, presents bold and extraordinary solutions in the technology of creating cars, which, contrary to many forecasts, literally turn the entire world car market upside down. For example, it is enough to recall the appearance after the Great Patriotic War of eight-cylinder units (motors) from the company "BMW", two-door sedans, as well as the recent appearance on the market of electric cars, the body of which is made of carbon fiber) to understand that the Bavarian auto company can literally to come up with and develop new ideas from scratch and instantly occupy a niche in the automotive world that has not yet been occupied by anyone.
This is exactly what happened with the BMW X6 auto-crossover in the back of the E71, where the company's engineers used and implemented the most daring auto solutions. Thus, in 2007, the Bavarians presented the world with a new crossover in the back, which combined a four-door hatchback and a coupe, and at the same time also had a large rear boot lid.
The X6 model was founded and created on the basis of the X5 auto-crossover in the back of the E70, which also began to be produced in the same 2007.
It is worth noting immediately the following here, when the X6 model entered mass production, the BMW company had quite high investment risks at that moment, since it did not know in advance how the public itself would react to this car, since this SUV (E71) opened on essence new class cars all over the world car market.
So the management of the Munich company must be given credit for their courage and self-confidence, which were necessary when deciding to launch a new class of cars.
Thus, eventually, starting in 2007, a new class of sports crossovers with four-door bodies appeared on the world car market. For a long time, the Bavarians had no competitors and they got all the cream of the car market. But over time, competing models gradually began to appear on the car market. True, the latter could not take the market share from BMW and move it.
But recently, the world famous Mercedes-Benz company, apparently waiting for a long time and studying the success of the X6 model car, actually decided to copy this very type of crossover and release its own new one.
Time will show how the competition in this segment will develop further. But regardless of the results of this battle, BMW has certainly already inscribed itself (company name) in the history of the entire auto industry, as the discoverer of a new segment of premium sports crossovers.
BMW X6: Pros of a fastback coupe crossover.
Obviously, the BMW X6 was not created for the tasks for which the X5 auto-crossover was invented. Although the X6 model was based on the X5 crossover. It has the same payload, the same ground clearance ( ground clearance 220mm), the same active system all-wheel drive, well, etc. etc.
The main differences between the cars are located inside the passenger compartment in the back row of seats. A particular difference (difference) between the X5 and X6 models was noticeable in cars produced from 2008 to 2010. So, during this period of time, all cars of the X6 model (in the rear of them) had only two separate passenger seats, the triple seat in the auto-crossover (as in the X5 model) began to be installed only in 2011. That is, until 2011, this was (was) a four-seater car.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that the restyled model X6 has become a five-seater, there is not so much space for rear passengers compared to the X5 model, which certainly affects the very comfort of the rear passengers. It's all about the sloping roof of the X6, which smoothly lowers (passes) onto the trunk lid of the car. As a result, it turns out that too tall passengers should be put on back seat the car is simply not worth it, since it will be extremely inconvenient for them to have enough in the car.
But the main disadvantage of the body of the auto-model X6 is not that its rear passengers do not feel very comfortable during the trip, the main drawback of the X6 is in the visibility of this car. Unlike the X5 model, where the visibility behind the wheel is more or less normal, in the X6 model the driver will be extremely uncomfortable when parking the car because of this body shape and because of the very small rear window.
It is for this very reason that in the X6 auto-crossover, unlike the X5 model, parking sensors are installed even in the basic configuration, which help the driver's visibility when driving. reverse... As an option, the X6 is also equipped with a rear-view camera, which displays the rear video view on the infotainment screen. Unlike sound parking sensors, such a video review on the center console screen has become much more convenient.
Are used BMW X6s reliable (including those with high mileage)?
Despite the incomprehensible and various reviews on the Internet coming from drivers who apparently have never owned BMW cars, we must nevertheless admit that the X6 auto-crossover is quite reliable and of high quality for its class of cars. And by and large, if we take it as a whole, then this is the same bmw car model X5. We have studied various reviews on the BMW forums and interviewed many "servicemen" with a specific purpose, to find out from them which model (year of manufacture) of the X6 brand is the most unpretentious in the process of its maintenance.
As a result, we found out that the most hassle-free cars are diesel car models (xDrive 30d, xDrve 40d).
With regards to gasoline engines installed on these models of cars, then many auto repairmen have complaints about them on the territory of Russia. According to some reports, most owners gasoline cars X6 after 100 - 200 thousand km the engine starts to "eat" oil at a frantic pace, and this happens due to partial wear of internal components power units... As experts say, the design features of gasoline engines "BMW" are to blame. engine oil, low-quality by itself and too long an interval between scheduled maintenance (technical inspections).
Let us remind you that the scheduled maintenance of BMW cars does not take place when a strictly defined mileage is reached, but only after the car's computer indicates the need to contact the service. As a result, it is not uncommon when the owners of Bavarian cars turn to MOT on a mileage of more than 15 thousand km, which does not in the best way affect the state of the power unit, which does not like oil starvation and the loss of its chemical properties.
Of course, from time to time on various channels and on the BMW forums there are angry responses about broken timing chains, about extinct turbines, etc. breakdowns But believe us, the number of similar real reviews not so great in relation to the number of X5 and X6 models sold in Russia. According to some available data (anonymous survey of official BMW dealers in Russia), only about 3% of all owners of BMW X5 and X6 cars have encountered problems related to the engine at a mileage of up to 120 thousand km. True, with a car mileage from 120 to 200 thousand km, such owners have already turned out to be almost 7% of all serviced crossovers at the stations of the car dealer.
Despite the presence in fact of some design features BMW engines, which with an inattentive attitude to the motor can result in significant serious problems and expensive repairs, on the roads of Russia today you can find many cars of the X5 and X6 (E70, E71) models with mileage exceeding 180 thousand km or more, which still do not have have even the slightest signs of a malfunction in the engine.
So it’s impossible to say that the engines installed on the BMW X6 are very unreliable, and this is wrong. After reading reviews on any brand or model of car on the forum, you can see and find in them exactly the same number of angry reviews about the unreliability of this product. For some cars, you can see a much larger percentage of problems with power units than that of the same Bavarian car brand.
The quality and reliability of the BMW X6 (E71) suspension.
Unlike the engines installed on the X6 models, which rarely have big and even small problems, there are certain questions about the quality and reliability of the chassis of this SUV.
The most common problems in this car, which are written about in many autoforums, or which are directly talked about by auto repairmen on official dealerships BMW is: - poor durability of the front suspension and quite frequent factory defects in some parts of the car.
According to statistics, about 15% of all X6 owners face problems front stabilizer, tie rods and even axle wear. And this can happen (happen) already on the run up to 70 thousand km.
Usually these and similar problems when buying a new car occur mainly during the warranty period set by the automaker and they are usually eliminated.
Unfortunately, due to some design features of the car, if you buy a used X6 for a long time removed from the factory warranty, you should be prepared for the fact that you may encounter these described problems in the front of the car's suspension.
Also, due to the increased load in the front suspension (especially if you are driving the X6 constantly high revs engine and fly through turns at high speed), this load on the front levers will quite often disable the saleant blocks and ball ends of the machine.
This is your payback for awesome steering and good comfort driving an X6 car. And do not forget, please, that this car, in its principle, was created not for comfort, but in order to drive (compete) with someone on the road in a race.
Always remember that the BMW X6 itself will constantly provoke you to speed up. This car will not allow you to drive it calmly and unhurriedly. Naturally from here, with active movement, get ready to change tires more often, which will cost you a tidy sum.
Another minus this car(X6) - the cost of the "Casco" policy itself, where the price is added not only to a certain percentage of the market value of the car. Usually, such insurance for a BMW X6 car is not cheap, and this is primarily due to the fact that this auto-crossover is in good demand among the hijackers themselves.
Who buys a used BMW X6 more often?
The owners of BMW X5 are basically the most loyal and worthy admirers of the "BMW" brand for which, in principle, no other car brands exist anymore. More than half of car owners who have purchased new or used BMW X6 cars have previously owned other cars of this Bavarian brand. Also about 2/3 of all these BMW owners will remain loyal to the German brand in the future.
And yet, half of those who currently own the first generations of X6 cars are interested in buying BMW X6 cars in the next and second generation. The other half of its owners (X6) are looking at purchasing in the future a cheaper (second-hand) version, X4 model cars or a crossover model.
Yes, there is also the remaining very small part of BMW X6 owners who, for some reason in the future, will simply abandon a BMW car and purchase products from Porsche (for example, Macan and Cayenne auto brands) or Mercedes. (for example, brands, or). But these are, as a rule, those owners who have previously purchased new X6 cars for themselves and have reconsidered their views on the car market during their ownership.
But nevertheless, most of the owners of BMW X6 cars will somehow magically and unknownly remain loyal to the "BMW" car brand and for the most part will continue to change their crossovers to the same brand of car, but in a more recent version.
Bottom line.
If you are still seriously considering the BMW X6, then be prepared for frequent car maintenance, which will cost you a lot. Still, this car is a premium SUV and its MOT (maintenance) as well as the cost of spare parts cannot be cheap.
The BMW X6, like most of the premium models of the Bavarian brand, are high-tech complex vehicles, they constantly need careful attention to themselves and to all components of the car.
Get ready to invest in your motor vehicle a lot of money so that it (your crossover) is always in excellent condition and never lets you down. Otherwise, this car (BMW X6) will only upset you.
It's important to know:
Just forget about changing the oil on a run of 10-15 thousand km. The oil will have to be changed almost every 7-8 thousand km, since its quality in our country today leaves much to be desired. And do not forget that in Russia today, in principle, there is no high-quality fuel that could be compared with European fuel. And all this ultimately significantly affects the condition of the engines installed on BMW cars. So you have to remember frequent replacement oils are a guarantee that the engine of your car will cover more than 200 thousand km.
The cost of owning a used BMW X6.
In our editorial office, we calculated how much it would cost to own this car for 3 years if you buy 5 summer car in a used car market.
We would like to note right away that if you buy a diesel model of a car, then in fact, in fact, due to the low fuel consumption of a diesel engine, alas, you will not be able to save money. The point here is this, X6 cars with diesel engines are much more expensive than their gasoline "counterparts" (analogs). Ultimately, it will take 3 or 4 years to recoup the overpayment for a car when buying it (a used car) (this is with a low mileage every year). Also, we draw your attention to the fact that the cost of the planned Maintenance a car, especially in certain cases, is much more expensive than the same petrol X6 models.
So it can be summed up, inherently diesel BMW crossovers give you some imaginary savings for a while, but in the course of their operation, the owner of this diesel car will sooner or later realize that in the end, over a long period of time of the car's operation, he significantly overpaid for the maintenance of his SUV, if he compares all the costs of the same the owner of the petrol model X6.
Let's roughly calculate together what the cost of owning a used BMW X6 bought at the Russian car market will be.
Take a used diesel (xDrive 30d) (E71) from 2010, with a range of approximately 135,000 km.
Suppose that every year you will drive approximately 20 thousand km on average (this is 54 km per day).
The average fuel consumption of this car model in the city according to the factory specification is 8.7 liters per 100 km of run, on the highway (highway) - 6.7 liters per 100 km, in mixed mode the crossover consumes 7.4 liters per 100 km. In reality, take our word for it, this expense is much higher, on average by 20 - 30%. Let's calculate, according to the factory specifications, how much will need to be spent each year on diesel fuel to refuel this diesel BMW X6.
It turns out the following, in order to travel 20 thousand km (this in 1 year) you will need approximately 1480 liters diesel fuel... At today's (average) prices at gas stations, it turns out that every year you will need to spend 54 thousand 760 rubles on diesel fuel (on average - 150 rub / day).
But again, this calculation will only be valid for 2016. In the future, this fuel will only rise in price due to the natural high inflation in the country and, naturally, in connection with the increase in excise taxes on the fuel itself.
BMW - German manufacturer modern and functional vehicles. They are not only presentable in their appearance, but also have the most modern technical characteristics, which makes them so popular and in demand. But where is BMW made? The production facilities of the company are located in Germany. Major producing cities include Regensburg, Leipzig, Munich and Dingolfing. And cars are assembled at factories located in Thailand, India, Malaysia, Egypt, South Africa, Vietnam and the United States (Spartanberg). BMWs are assembled in Russia at the Avtotor plant located in Kaliningrad. BMW assembly in Kaliningrad is not inferior in quality to other manufacturing countries.

"Thus, BMW is the best choice for those who value comfort and modern technology."
Most of the car production is concentrated abroad. Thanks to this, each car has all the necessary technical characteristics and many other important benefits.
As a result, cars from BMW are becoming more and more popular as they meet all the needs of users.
Cars from the Bavarian company BMW have always indicated the success of their owner. Whoever says anything, German models are practical, durable and fast. Crossovers are especially popular. For example, the BMW X5 is characterized as calm and economical. sport car... At the same time, it is very powerful, which becomes clear both when driving on the highway and in city traffic of models.
All car owners without exception note that the five shows themselves calm and economical in the city. At the same time, it is fast and even aggressive on the track. And in any case, it is very easy and pleasant to operate it.
Most likely, this is the merit of not only the designers and engineers who thought through everything to the smallest detail, but also the craftsmen who made the car. In this article, we will look at where the BMW X5 is assembled for Russian buyers, and how the car of our production differs from the purebred German.
The oldest factories that assemble the BMW X5 are in America, Germany and England. Of these, in Russia you can find American-assembled cars.
Several years ago, BMW X5 for Russian market began to be assembled at a local factory. In the summer of 2009, it became known that the car would be made at the Avtotor production facility. In the first year, about 1000 models rolled off the assembly line. Further, until the last 2015, their number only increased.
By the way, this is not the only car of the German concern that is assembled at a Russian plant. At the same time, they began to make the BMW X6, and even earlier the sedans of the third and fifth series and the X3 crossover rolled off the assembly line. It is interesting that the first car of the Bavarian company was assembled and produced here at the end of the last century, in 1999. The number of models in our assembly was 555. Already in 2007 this figure increased to 4.5 thousand. In 2015, it almost doubled.
Let's see how Russian craftsmen do their job and whether it is worth buying a BMW X5 of our assembly.
Review of BMW X5 assembled in Russia
The first BMW X5, which rolled off the Russian assembly line, cost 68 thousand euros. He had two power units under the hood, which gave out a total power of 309 Horse power... One of them was a two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, and the other was an electrician. Hooked up the motors to an eight-speed automatic transmission... By the way, the car has not changed since that time, either externally or in terms of technology. But its cost has grown by a quarter.
Actually, Russian assembly not much different from German. And the point is not that our craftsmen suddenly began to make reliable cars, but that local production is SKD. That is, ready-made parts are sent to Russia, but we only weld them, and give the car the necessary appearance. Therefore, as it turned out, where the BMW X5 is assembled is not so important. After all, German quality remains so in any case.
A little about the merits of the crossover. The car consumes only 3.4 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers of travel. An electric motor can stretch up to 31 kilometers on a single charge.
Its design is thought out to the smallest detail. Clean lines, muscular bodywork and tilting struts are what sets the car apart. It is stylish and special in its own way. Vertical air intakes appeared in the side bumper. They improve aerodynamics. In the salon of the Russian modification, new sports very comfortable seats have appeared. Also, along the entire perimeter there is LED lights... It goes to the front panel from the side of the doors. Interestingly, its color changes depending on the driver's wishes in the white blue and orange range.
The multimedia system is amazing. It is powerful enough and the sound output is very loud thanks to the excellent speakers. The diagonal of the screen is 10.25 inches. There are so many functions here that you can get confused. You can control the car using this display, and nothing more. In general, it will take about a month to study the functionality of the screen alone.
Safety is also at the highest level here. Both the driver and the passenger can feel protected. The seat cushions are adjustable in any position, they are heated and they can be pulled out depending on your desire.
Now a little about the disadvantages. The driving settings for the BMW X5 are pretty average. But, this is not the fault of our engineers. The car starts to drive with slight delays. Although the car is marketed as sporty, it is quieter than you might expect. In Russian-assembled crossovers, some note wide gaps between parts. Sound insulation does not suffer from this, as well as aesthetic characteristics. But, they note that dust and dirt are often clogged in the gap. And also, dampness from natural precipitation accumulates here.
But, nevertheless, the mentioned shortcomings are not so serious as not to pay attention to the BMW X5. Ultimately, where the crossover is assembled is not all that important. Therefore, do not be afraid of our assembly, and feel free to buy a model.
The German concern "BMW" became the first large automobile enterprise, who decided to start assembling cars in Russia. The Avtotor enterprise is located in Kaliningrad, and today this company supplies the largest number of BMWs entering the Russian market. At the same time, many people have doubts: is it worth taking a car assembled in Russia, how much better will a German-made BMW be? Opinions on the forums can be found directly opposite, while objective evidence of both points of view is difficult to provide.
What attracts Russian buyers to truly German cars
One of the main advantages is true german car- the quality of the engine. As a result, the durability of the entire structure depends on the reliability of the motor, and it was German technology in this parameter that outstripped many manufacturers around the world. And it is precisely the reliability that ultimately lacks the products of the Russian car industry. BMW has already become a symbol of practicality, quality and comfort all over the world.
Distinctive features of this car: excellent handling due to the well-coordinated work of complex electronic systems, efficient brakes, a comfortable cabin in which a driver of any size will feel comfortable. With all positive qualities BMWs are focused specifically on city traffic, so they are not designed for difficult road conditions... After the company began assembling cars at the Kaliningrad plant, heated debates broke out among fans of this brand regarding the quality of cars.
Features of "BMW" assembled in Russia
How to distinguish a German-made BMW from a Kaliningrad one? The Russian assembly is equipped with a number of design differences. Since Avtotor's products are mainly aimed at Russian customers, a special “Russian package” had to adapt them to non-standard local conditions. The main distinguishing features of the "Russian" BMW:
- The clearance increased by 22 mm made it possible to achieve off-road... Taking into account the situation on Russian roads, such an addition can hardly be called superfluous.
- Stiffer shock absorbers and reinforced stabilizers (both front and rear). This will allow the machine to remain operational longer.
- Electronics allows you to start the car even in severe frost conditions.
- Many motorists note that the Russian assembly is less sensitive to the quality of gasoline, which is important, given the quality of fuel at most gas stations.
Thus, the traditional BMW has become more durable, designed to overcome difficulties and travel on those routes for which the car was originally not intended at all. You can check the exact place of assembly of the car using the VIN code. This is a marking that is put on the engine, and in which the country of manufacture must be reflected. Russian cars are marked with the letter "X". You can go shopping with a friend who knows where to find the VIN.
What to choose: German or Russian assembly
So far, almost entirely imported components are used for the production of BMWs at the plant in Kaliningrad. That is, it is difficult to talk about the discrepancy in the quality of the machines, since in the end they pass the same quality control. At the same time, many note that when driving a vehicle assembled in Russia, the noise is louder, and the car as a result turns out to be less durable. However, these disadvantages can be attributed to both the quality of service and compliance with the rules for operating the machine.
Cars assembled in Kaliningrad end up undergoing a triple quality control: initially, the parts are checked by the manufacturer, then they are checked upon arrival at the plant, and, ultimately, they are finally checked after assembly. The likelihood of marriage in this case is reduced to a minimum, so the "Russian" BMWs are not much inferior to the German ones. The Russian assembly has been on the market for 13 years.
An important factor determining the purchase of a Russian assembly is its cost. On the forums, the question is often asked, is it possible to buy new bmw German assembly at the dealer? New German cars are still supplied to the Russian market, but their cost is very high. For example, the updated series BMW 520i has been available from official sellers since September last year at a price of 1.825 million rubles. Cars assembled in Russia are not subject to customs duties, so the price markups are much less.
German used car or new domestic
Which is better to buy: a used car from Germany or a new domestic one? For the price, cars made in Russia are almost equal to low-mileage models that are transported across the border. It's hard to say what exactly will be better for a Russian driver:
- Low-mileage used BMWs with correct operation little inferior to new ones. The Germans have always been a thrifty people, and used cars arrive from abroad in a very good condition by becoming a bargain.
- At the same time new car cannot be compared to anything. It is always more pleasant to be behind the wheel of a car that no one else has owned before you. The purchase of new cars can fall into concessional lending programs aimed at supporting the manufacturer. This will help you save additional money.
- The new car has a warranty card that will allow you to correct any factory defects, if any. Many owners speak positively about the Russian assembly: the cars are quite high-quality, in no way inferior to their German counterparts, and the build quality in them is not worse.
The prejudice regarding the quality of Russian cars, of course, has good reasons. At the same time, times are changing, and we can expect that the Russian assembly will soon be at a quite decent level, gradually ousting the Western representatives of the automotive industry. So far, the choice remains only with the opinion and taste of the buyer.
Cars of the German BMW brand are among the most popular in the world. They are famous for their reliability, high quality assembly and excellent technical characteristics. Today, we will tell you about where the BMW X6 is assembled for the domestic market. This concept car was first unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Thanks to its appearance and uniqueness, the crossover immediately began to gain popularity and love of fans around the world. Our compatriots did not disregard the "German" either.
Most of all, this car model is bought in the United Arab Emirates, the USA, China and here in the Russian Federation. If these countries are supplied with a "German" assembled in America, then for the Russian market this car is produced by the domestic company "Avtotor" located in Kaliningrad. At first, Russian fans were wary of the X6, as they fell in love with its predecessor, the X5.
But, after a while, the new crossover had its own fans, and therefore, sales rose sharply. The car is built on a platform - X5. New crossover although it has a common platform with its predecessor, it differs in appearance and technical characteristics. This vehicle is equipped with an active differential rear axle and your own suspension settings.
Crossover interior
The manufacturer made the interior of this model more interesting and richer. The main finishing material is genuine leather and high-quality plastic. The interior features wood and aluminum details. Many buyers are interested in where the BMW X6 is produced, since this fact significantly affects the cost and quality. vehicle... The front of the X6 is an exact replica of the interior of its predecessor, the X5. The second row of seats is a bit cramped.
The crossover is designed to carry four passengers, but if you unfold the back of the rear row of seats, you can make room for one more person. To be honest, sitting in the back of the car is uncomfortable. But, the buyer can ask to change the layout, then the seat, the car will be equipped with a traditional 3-seater sofa. Volume luggage compartment with the seats unfolded is 570 liters, if folded down, it increases to 1450 liters. To ensure comfort, the manufacturer has equipped the car with the most modern systems. It cannot be otherwise, because this crossover is not cheap. Since the car has a fully independent suspension, it behaves well on the road. Also, a good power steering was installed on the car.
Advantages and disadvantages
The BMW X6 crossover, like any other vehicle, has its pros and cons. This car boasts:
- high level of quality of interior trim
- decent acceleration dynamics
- varied motor range
- high quality insulation
- excellent handling and stability while riding.
Where the BMW X6 is produced, they screwed up a little, since the car has disadvantages:
- small 4-seater salon
- uncomfortable boarding of passengers
- controversial interior design
- uncomfortable rear seats
- expensive repairs, maintenance and spare parts.
Motor range
This model "German" is offered with three petrol and three diesel engines... In the engine range, there is a 3-liter gasoline unit that produces 306 horsepower. Also, buyers can purchase a crossover with a 4.4-liter engine with a power of 407 horses. Diesel power plants have six cylinders, and differ from each other in terms of power and the degree of boost. The simplest diesel engine produces 245 horsepower. In second place is a car with a 306-horsepower diesel engine. Well, and the most powerful option presented is a 381-horsepower engine. The manufacturer also developed a sports version of the BMW X6 M crossover.
A super-powerful engine was installed on it, producing 555 horsepower. This version of the "German" is equipped with the newest and most modern options that can only be. But, the presence of all this electronics caused the car to malfunction. But all the engines that are installed on this crossover model are powerful enough and "tenacious". Nevertheless, the fact where the BMW X6 is assembled plays an important role. The only drawback of power units is that on Russian gasoline they do not work at full capacity, since the motors are designed for Euro-5 gasoline. Poor quality fuel can cause serious damage to the vehicle. Therefore, experts recommend that all owners of this car model use it in winter period gasoline with an octane rating of 98.
Buyers can choose the crossover from fifteen color options. Also, there is an opportunity for authorized dealer order a car with an individual color. In Russia, the most popular crossovers are white, red and black. Choice wheel rims is also quite diverse. Only basic configuration includes three wheel options. They are made in a sporty style and are ideally combined with the appearance of the "German". The price for a basic crossover is from three and a half million rubles. The cost will vary depending on the configuration and additional functions of the machine.
