Dream cars: 10 most expensive cars in the world

Japanese energy in the Mitsubishi ASX

It is impossible to ignore the representative of the Japanese automotive industry, which amazes with its dynamic characteristics. The lightness, speed and maneuverability of this car is achieved through the innovative MIVEC gas distribution system. The Mitsubishi ASX engine is quite light, thanks to the aluminum cylinder block. You can buy a new crossover for up to 1 million rubles with a 1.6-liter engine and a declared power of 117 horsepower.

The two-liter engine will produce 150 horsepower, but for this version you will have to pay 200 thousand rubles more. In the basic configuration you can count on the following options:

• Central locking;
• ISO-FIX mountings for child seat safety;
• 16-inch steel wheels;
• Electric side mirrors.

Hyndai Creta: review, equipment, specifications

The car of the Korean manufacturer has been assembled at a plant in St. Petersburg since August. The design of the new product resembles the new Santa Fe in a smaller version, and is close in size to the Duster and Ecosport. The Creta is based on the platform of the not very common i20, but the angular body itself consists of a vinaigrette of parts from various Hyundai models. So, the all-wheel drive transmission was borrowed from Tucson, the Elantra provided the engine and chassis components, and some of the chassis was taken from Solaris. The standard equipment is quite poor and has the following features:

1. Front-wheel drive.
2. The presence of two airbags.
3. Brakes: front disc, rear drum.
4. Ground clearance – 190 mm.
5. ABS, stabilization system.
6. Electric windows.
7. Multifunction steering wheel.
8. ERA-GLONASS complex.

Greta engines are 1.6 liter petrol. and 2 l. aspirated engines with a system for changing gas distribution phases, which are distinguished by their reliability and demand in the secondary market. Transmission – 6-speed. Mechanics. The safety of the car is very different from its competitors, for the better, since the rigid elements of the body are made of heavy-duty steel and are interconnected in the form of a frame. The trunk is quite spacious, with lighting and a shelf that can rise up.

Inside, the car looks much more modern, which is facilitated by the presence of a large touch screen for controlling the stereo system and numerous buttons on the steering wheel. The finish is made of hard plastic, but of very high quality - without gaps and with a precise fit to each other. The interior is visually quite spacious, and even tall passengers will be comfortable in the second row.

Compact crossover Kia Sportage

Let's start looking at crossovers of the 2017-2018 model year up to 1,000,000 rubles from the Korean representative - Kia Sportage. This car has won a lot of awards around the world, and has repeatedly taken pride of place in the “Car of the Year” category in Russia. Sportage is one of the three most popular and popular cars in this segment. Under the hood, the Kia Sportage has a 2-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. For up to 1 million rubles, this car can be purchased with a 6-speed manual transmission; for automatic transmission lovers, you need to find another 100 thousand rubles to purchase a car with an automatic transmission.

Kia Sportage is equipped with adaptive shock absorbers in all trim levels. This allows the driver to comfortably drive the vehicle in off-road conditions. The crossover began to behave more stable while driving and during emergency braking. The car consumes almost 8 liters per 100 km in urban conditions. A Sportage version with a diesel engine is available, but, unfortunately, such a car can no longer be bought for 1 million rubles. A new crossover up to 1,000,000 rubles in the Classic configuration will provide its owner with:

• 16-inch alloy wheels;
• Trimmed and heated seats;
• Air conditioner;
• Electric side mirrors.

South Korean new SUV under 1,000,000

SsangYong Actyon

If you are wondering which crossover to buy under 1,000,000 with the most extensive configuration, then the SsangYong Actyon is another SUV under 1,000,000.

These are all-wheel drive crossovers up to 1 million with an automatic transmission, power accessories, air conditioning, four airbags, rain and snow sensors, power steering and an audio system included in the package. The basic configuration will cost your account 730 thousand, and if you prefer a diesel engine, then a million.

As you can see, the choice of crossovers and SUVs costing up to a million is quite large. There is somewhere to roam. You should choose a car based on which functions and characteristics are your priority. Japanese companies have the largest selection of cars in the price category up to 1 million. Therefore, we advise you to pay special attention to these machines. In addition, we see that all-wheel drive crossovers under 1,000,000 are only Korean-made cars; you simply cannot buy either Japanese or German cars with all-wheel drive for less than a million now.

The three best crossovers of 2020 worth up to 1 million rubles and who is the leader

It is advisable to select top models based on a set of parameters. First of all, we will analyze the technical layout and standard level of equipment. We do not lose sight of the optional offers, which are usually available for each individual performance for an additional fee.

A couple more parameters taken into account are ground clearance and power supply. The latter represents the car’s ability to dynamically move its mass and is calculated taking into account the weight characteristics when empty and the number of “horses”.

When choosing the best crossovers of 2020 up to a million rubles, let’s discard the influence on the price of all kinds of discounts provided by almost every car dealership. We also cancel the action of global programs in the form:

• Family car.
• Trade-in.
• First car.

Renault Duster

The most successful combination of technical parameters and the availability of all kinds of equipment allowed this car to take first place in the competition. The price starts from 689,900 rubles. For this money, the car will be equipped with a 1.6-liter unit with a capacity of 114 “horses”. The drive is front-wheel drive, the gearbox is a five-speed manual. The equipment is frankly simple. There's not even air conditioning.

If you get closer to 1,000,000 rubles, you can choose several options with a six-speed manual:

• Privilege with a 1.6 liter engine. potential of 114 hp The drive is still mono-channel (962,900 rubles).
• Expression with 2.0 liter engine. power output of 143 hp. and 4x4 drive (952,900 rubles).
• Expression with the only 1.5-liter diesel engine in the line with a power of 109 hp, transmitted to all wheels (986,900 rubles).

The Privilege version assumes that the car will have the following installed by default:

• Leather steering wheel.
• Fog lights.
• Air conditioner.
• Alloy wheels.
• Climbing assistant.
• Remote start system.
• Cruise control.
• Heated windshield and front seats.

For an additional 27,000 rubles, the best crossover of 2020 worth up to a million rubles can purchase an optional media system with a navigator, rear view camera and parking sensors. At the same time, the price will not go beyond the red mark.

The Expression package is more primitive. There's nothing to show off here other than the air conditioner. Equipment from Privilege is available for a fee. You can't buy a media center. Of course, when buying a car in this form, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with how to service the air conditioning system with your own hands. This will save you money on maintenance.

It is quite possible to dynamically accelerate a mass of 1,260/1,435 kg. For options with a 2.0 liter petrol engine. and a 1.5 liter diesel power plant. There are no questions about power availability. It is at a decent level for the budget class. The DT version is in the lead not because of the number of “horses,” but in terms of the generated torque, which exceeds the identical indicator of the unit at high octane. The ground clearance is also impressive: 210 mm is the first figure in the group.

Lada XRAY

The domestic SUV cannot boast of such extensive technical equipment as the Renault Duster. There is no all-wheel drive, nor is there a diesel option. There are only two petrol versions in the arsenal: 1.6 (106 hp) and 1.8 (122 hp), equipped with either a robot or mechanics. Both boxes have no more than 5 steps.

However, the prices are more affordable. For 860,900 rubles you can take the “maximum”, which has all the modern equipment from climate control and heating to touch navigation with a rear view camera. Alloy wheels and leather interior are also included in this price. The minimum price tag for one of the best crossovers of 2019, costing up to a million rubles, is 629,900 rubles.

There are no complaints about the power supply of a car with a 1.8-liter unit on board and a weight of 1,250 kg. There are no comments regarding the ground clearance - 195 mm is enough for bad roads with asphalt concrete pavement.

Hyundai Creta

Over time, the Korean Creta upset car enthusiasts. No, not the quality of workmanship, but the price. Now you need to spend at least 819,900 rubles to purchase it. The 123-horsepower naturally aspirated engine is coupled with a six-speed manual transmission and single-wheel drive on the front axle. The Active version (932,900 rubles) looks more comfortable. Of the “extras” only the following are installed:

1. Heated front seats.
2. Regular multimedia.
3. Air conditioner.

Modestly. But the option with a six-speed automatic looks much poorer. In this version you have to be content with only music and a tire pressure monitoring system. And it costs about a million (982,900 rubles).

190 mm is the actual ground clearance. Well, the figure is not high, but quite sufficient for an SUV. The situation with energy availability causes contradictions. 123 horsepower of a 1.6-liter engine is clearly not enough for intensive movement of 1,420 kg. And the cost of the version with a “kopeck piece”, as well as the all-wheel drive version, exceeds 1 million rubles.

Representative of the Korean concern – SsangYong Actyon

As you can see, all crossovers of the 2017-2018 model year up to 1,000,000 rubles are in most cases equipped with a 1.6-liter engine. The SsangYong Actyon can be purchased with an e-XDi200 engine with a volume of 2 liters and a power of 149 horsepower. This engine has demonstrated its excellent driving characteristics, and the “heart” of the SsangYong Actyon car can boast of efficiency. Outside the city, consumption will be only 6 liters per 100 kilometers. The 6-speed manual is distinguished by its reliability and high performance due to the new lubrication system.

An indicator is installed on the instrument panel that shows the optimal moment for changing gears. The SsangYong Actyon also boasts a smooth ride; the engineers managed to select the subordinate numbers perfectly. SsangYong is actively developing new systems that will be available on 2020 and 2018 vehicles. You can buy a new crossover up to 1,000,000 in two trim levels: Welcome and Original. Includes:

• Airbags for driver and passenger;
• Central locking with remote control;
• Power steering;
• Air conditioner.

The above cars will be an excellent purchase for the whole family. There is no need to pay for a brand or completely irrelevant options. Mitsubishi ASX and Nissan Qashqai have been driving on our roads for a long time and have proven themselves to be very successful. SsangYong Actyon is reaching a new level, the company is constantly improving and gaining momentum, so more and more people are giving preference to the Korean concern.

Kia Sportage is an excellent combination of modernity and technological innovation. This car is perfect for traveling and active recreation. Therefore, if you want to buy a car, but are hesitant to make a choice, pay attention to this track record; many experts recommend these cars as the most preferable and economical options, compared to budget crossovers for 500 thousand.

Dream cars: 10 most expensive cars in the world

Today we want to share with you a list of the ten most expensive production cars in the world. Having scoured the entire Internet, we have collected the best and most exotic models that impress not only with their capabilities, but also with their price. When creating the list, we did not take into account exclusive classics sold under the hammer. We covered the ten most expensive cars sold at auction last year. Let's get started.

McLaren F1 - $970,000

The “cheapest” car on the list does not mean the worst. The McLaren F1, which debuted in 1992, remains one of the fastest and most expensive cars on the market. With a price tag of nearly $1 million and a top speed of 240 mph (386 km/h), the F1 hypercar is legal for public roads. The McLaren F1 lost its status as the fastest car in the world in 2005. The series was limited to 106 cars.

McLaren P1 - $1.1 million

The McLaren P1 is the successor to the aforementioned model. The electric motor is paired with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 to produce 903 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The speed limit of the hypercar is 217 mph (350 km/h), and acceleration to hundreds is accomplished in less than three seconds.

The British McLaren Group produced only 375 copies of the P1.

Hennessey Venom GT -$1.1 million

This car has enough power to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just two seconds, with a top speed of 287 mph (462 km/h). Under the hood of the Venom GT is a 7-liter twin-turbo V8, whose power reaches 1,500 hp.

Zenvo ST1 – $1.2 million

The Dane Zenvo ST1 glorified his country throughout the world. An expensive and exclusive supercar (no more than three copies are produced per year), equipped with a 7-liter engine with a turbocharger and supercharging. Its speed limit lies at 233 mph (375 km/h). Dials a hundred in three seconds.

Maybach Landaulet - $1.3 million

Seventh place on our list is shared by three cars. First up is the Maybach Landaulet, the slowest of the supercars featured here. But this shortcoming is more than compensated for by other features.

The luxurious 4-door sedan is equipped with a convertible top, which gives a feeling of complete freedom. It would be strange if a $1.3 million car didn't have champagne flutes, a built-in refrigerator, an automatic partition separating the passenger compartment from the driver's compartment, and an intercom system.

Ferrari La Ferrari - $1.3 million

Successor to Enzo. The engine under the hood of the Italian stallion produces 789 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Its performance can be increased to 950 hp. and 664 lb-ft of torque from an integrated electric motor with Kinetic Energy Recovery System.

Ferrari La Ferrari was produced in a limited edition of 499 units.

Pagani Huayra - $1.3 million

The Pagani Huayra closes the top three with 1.3 million units sold. Uses a 6 liter AMG V12 engine with two turbochargers that provide 730 hp. and 740 lb-ft of torque. The Huayra can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Top speed: 230 mph (370 km/h). Feature: doors in the shape of gull wings.

Koenigsegg Agera R - $1.6 million

Swedish automaker Koenigsegg positions the Agera R as one of the fastest production cars in the world. The maximum speed that the supercar can reach reaches 260 miles per hour (420 km/h). It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in less than three seconds (2.9 seconds to be exact). Its power is no less impressive: 1,115 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque hidden in a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8.

An interesting feature: if you remove the speed limiter, the Koenigsegg Agera R can accelerate to an incredible 270 mph (434 km/h). But this will require special permission.

Lambroghini Reventon - $1.61 million

The manufacturer produced 20 copies of this model, equipping them with a 6.5-liter V12 engine producing 650 horsepower and 478 pound-feet of torque. The maximum that the Lambroghini Reventon can achieve is 211 mph (340 km/h). The car accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

The Reventon is Lamborghini's second most expensive car after the exclusive Veneno, not counting the track-focused Sesto Elemento ($2.2 million) and the Aventador J concept ($2.8 million).

Aston Martin One-77 – $1.8 million

The British supercar is powered by a 7.3-liter V12 engine that produces 750 horsepower and 533 pound-feet of torque. Its top speed does not exceed 220 mph (354 km/h), and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.4 seconds. The manufacturer limited the series to 77 copies.

Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster - $1.8 million

Unfortunately, the Aston Martin One-77 has to share fourth place with Pagani's Zonda Cinque Roadster.

What makes this roadster so expensive? For starters, the Zonda Cinque Roadster has a carbon-titanium composite body (weight 1210 kg). The subcompact Mini Cooper S is also heavier.

Under the hood of the Pagani Zonda Cinque is a 7.3-liter AMG V12 engine that produces 678 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque. In 3.4 seconds the car accelerates to 100 km/h. The maximum speed result is 217 mph (349 km/h).

For your information, Pagani produced only 5 units of the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster. A rare specimen.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse - $2.6 million

If we are talking about the most expensive cars, then we cannot fail to mention Bugatti. The hypercar, originally from France, is equipped with a 7.9-liter W16 engine producing 1,200 hp. and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse accelerates to hundreds in 2.7 seconds. Its top speed is 254 mph (408 km/h), a record for an open-top car.

Today, the title of the fastest production car in the world is held by its brother, the $2.4 million Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. The latter's top speed is 268 mph (431 km/h).

W Motors Lykan Hypersport – $3.4 million

In 2012, W Motors was founded in Lebanon. Few people then expected that it would be the company that would release the second most expensive production supercar in the world. According to the manufacturer, the Lykan Hypersport is equipped with a 6-cylinder turbocharged engine with a top speed of 245 mph (394 km/h) and acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

The car has diamond-cut LED headlights, leather seats with gold thread stitching and an integrated display with a holographic interface.

There is no data on the number of Lykan Hypersport produced, but most likely the series will be limited to a few copies.

Lamborghini Veneno - $4 million

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini will release the most expensive car in the world - the Lamborghini Veneno. The supercar debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Each will be equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 750 horsepower.

The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 221 mph (355 km/h).

The series is limited to 3 copies and all of them are sold out ahead of schedule.

KIA Optima IV

This is the youngest participant in my rating. In terms of equipment, it will give odds to many cars. Even the “poorest” trim levels have everything you need, which is why the car is in demand among buyers. In the last quarter, 11,328 reports were ordered through avtocod.ru.

The interior of the Optima is not bad. There are heated and ventilated seats, adaptive lights, Harman/Kardon music, a panoramic roof, sensors and cameras. But the quality of all this leaves much to be desired. For example, I don’t like the graphics of the monitors, the image of the speedometer and the ergonomics of the driver’s seat.

The range of engines is small: 2.0 l (150 hp), 2.4 l (187 hp) and turbocharged 2.0 l (245 hp). The two-liter one is very weak and does not have a very long service life. 2.4 liters on an automatic transmission is considered optimal. Its biggest problem is error P0010, which indicates that it is time to go to the dealer. There, under warranty, the covers of the variable gas distribution system will be replaced. Symptoms of this “sore” are a constantly burning check, jumping revs and loss of traction. When purchasing, pay attention to this or ask the seller for work orders to replace this part.

Another “funny” nuance of the Optima is the sound from under the engine compartment shield, reminiscent of rice being poured out. That's what they called him - "rice". The problem has not been officially recognized, but car owners are fighting it by replacing pipes and coolant.

Optimas came with manual and automatic transmissions. The mechanics are reliable and unpretentious, the automatic is very gentle. I advise you to change the oil at least once every 30 thousand km.

If you try, you can find the 2016-2017 Optima in a very good condition on the secondary market. But you need to choose carefully, this is a very problematic car. Every second car is offered with repair work and unpaid fines, every third - with an accident and after a taxi, every fourth - with traffic police restrictions, every sixth is listed as a deposit.

What is the difference between an SUV and a crossover?

Many novice motorists are concerned about this issue. In view of the abundance of offers that are presented on the market today, I would still like to have at least a general understanding of the difference between these two terms. Often there is a complete identification of the named concepts with the further inclusion of representatives of the off-road caste into the existing list. But it is not difficult to guess that this approach is fundamentally erroneous. Everything should be called by its proper name. The main difference between an SUV and a crossover is, perhaps, the pricing policy. In the first case, the products will be slightly cheaper. Being, in fact, a typical family car, the classic SUV will always be in great demand. Such cars are equipped with plug-in all-wheel drive. It automatically begins to perform its functions if the front wheels begin to slip.

SUVs are equipped exclusively with a monocoque body, and the operation of such vehicles in complete off-road conditions is highly not recommended. For these purposes, it is best to purchase an SUV up to a million. For example, the Ssang Young Kyron (699,000 rubles) or the domestic version - Niva (from 320,000 rubles) may be suitable. A crossover, unlike an SUV, has much in common with sports cars. This is felt not only in the external similarity, but also in the powerful engine, which is available in two variations - diesel and gasoline. The resemblance to an SUV is determined by the high clearance and all-wheel drive, which can be connected if necessary. The added sportiness, in turn, has a positive effect on handling and overall performance on paved surfaces. To be very simple, the crossover is a more advanced version of a simple SUV. As a result, the price indicator will also be slightly higher. In off-road conditions, operating a crossover is impossible without negative consequences. It was already noted above that an SUV up to a million rubles will do a better job for this purpose.
