Although in Russia they traditionally prefer large and impressive cars, hatchbacks are not deprived of attention either. In urban conditions, their compactness is an advantage. It’s easier to park, easier to maneuver, and you can stuff items of this size into the trunk, when you look at them, the owners of sedans will only enviously sigh. And outside the city, hatchbacks show their best side, due to the small overhang, they have a larger exit angle, as well as cross-country ability.
Decided to get such a miracle machine? We offer you a list of the cheapest hatchbacks in 2020 in Russia, compiled according to "Price Auto" - the site of the analytical agency "Avtostat".
10. KIA Ceed
Price - from 1.9 million rubles.
The model, which opens a list of the ten cheapest new hatchbacks in 2020, can be called "affordable" for the average Russian with a stretch. The C-segment in the Russian market continues to deflate, but KIA Ceed still sells well.
Experts say that due to Ford leaving Russia, Koreans are actively filling an empty space. Although most engines have switched to turbocharging in the Euro-market, atmospheric engines are still produced for Russia. In the basic configuration, the engine capacity of Sida is 1.4 liters, power is 100 liters. from.
The car is notable for good handling due to multi-link rear suspension, smooth ride, and lovers to go shopping on weekends will be pleasantly surprised by the increased boot volume.
Weak spots: for Russian conditions, the Sid’s ride height is small, so if you plan to get out of town, it’s better to look at another model. The interior, although spacious, is only for the driver and front passenger, but the rear riders will have to cramped.
9. Fiat 500
Price - from 1.9 million rubles.
One of the main advantages of this car is its design. The Italians managed to reproduce almost exactly if not the letter, then the spirit of the legendary “bug”. And both inside and outside. The interior decoration is at least made from inexpensive materials (after all, by European standards, money for the car is small), but it looks elegant, starting from the steering wheel in ivory and ending in checkered seats.
Under the hood, the Fiat-500 is equipped with a 1.4 liter engine and 100 liter capacity as standard. from. This is a small and nimble city car that is able to park anywhere, and easily move in the stream of cars. Her ground clearance is small, fuel consumption is small, and handling is high.
Weak spots: the robotic gearbox does not always work correctly (it is not included in the basic package).
8. Smart Forfour
Price - from 910 thousand rubles.
The only representative of the premium segment among low-cost hatchbacks is not as well known in the Russian market as its closest counterpart, Matiz. In 2014, the brand experienced a rebirth. If the very first version of "Smart" was withdrawn from sales due to lack of demand, then after the increasing popularity of small and nimble city cars, the third generation of Forfour was born. Although the car itself is small, its wheelbase is wide, and the interior for the mini-car is spacious.
In the basic configuration, the machine is equipped with a 1 liter engine. and a capacity of 71 liters. Along with this, the driver will receive fabric seats, an ABS system, cruise control and up to 8 airbags. And Smart is economical and looks very stylish.
Weak spots: This car is designed for urban conditions and good roads, so its suspension is stiff. Perhaps in 100 thousand km. mileage will have to replace the clutch.
7. KIA Rio X-Line
Price - 900 thousand rubles.
In the full sense, it is difficult to call the Rio X-Line a “crossover”, so the manufacturer settled on a “cross-hatchback”. Whatever you say, his ground clearance is impressive, and in the new generation he “grew” another 2.5 cm and reached 195 mm. In addition to increased clearance, the driver will receive a 1.4 liter and 100 liter engine in the basic configuration. under the hood.
In general, for the economy class, this is one of the top models - both in terms of interior quality and handling, precise brake system operation and acceleration (it takes 11-12 seconds to overcome the 100 km mark). In addition to the clearance, the size of the trunk is pleasantly surprising - it is already huge, and if you fold the rear seats as well, it seems that you can safely stuff an elephant there.
Weak spots: the steering is harsh, you need to get used to it, another car with automatic transmission and a 1.4-liter engine is very voracious (9-10 liters in the city).
6. KIA Picanto
Price - from 700 thousand rubles.
A small and not too expensive foreign car, which is perfect for urban conditions. The manufacturer claims that it is designed for five people. In the basic configuration, you get an engine of only 1 liter. and a capacity of 67 liters. - According to these criteria, the indicator is the lowest among the top ten of the most budget hatchbacks in Russia.
It’s easy to drive around the city on a small and brisk KIA Picanto, park where no other car gets in, and maneuver in the stream of cars, because its turning radius is minimal. We warn you right away, the ground clearance at Pikanta is low, so we recommend leaving the city only on good roads.
Weaknesses: stiff suspension, at high speeds, a lot of windage, will have to buy protection for the rear arches.
5. LADA XRAY
Price - from 660 thousand rubles.
It is XRAY that has the most horsepower among the top 10 cheapest hatchbacks in the Russian market. A 1.6 liter engine with a capacity of 106 liters is included in the basic package. True, if the rest of the cars from this list were mainly created with the expectation of urban conditions, then XRAY boasts the proud title of “crossover”.
In general, the car successfully combines urban compactness and crossover cross-country ability. Car owners really like the work of the gearbox in the car, the interior is strict and stylish enough for such a price, good visibility and ergonomics. And also the excellent suspension work - you simply don’t notice small roughnesses on the road. Thanks to these advantages, XRAY is a private participant in various car ratings.
Weak spots: the car is very voracious, even when driving on the highway, with sharp bends, heels very much, poor steering sensitivity.
4. Ravon R2
Price - from 639 thousand rubles.
The best option if you have to save money, but for some reason you do not want to buy a new car with a manual gearbox. Yes, yes, even in the basic configuration, the R2 has a four-speed automatic transmission. This is a small and nimble car, ideal for urban conditions (takes up little parking space).
The comfort level for him at such a price is quite high: in addition to the automatic transmission, he also has a multi-wheel, and heated seats and multimedia. But the engine is not too powerful, with a volume of only 1.2 liters and 85 “horses”.
Weak spots: the car is very noisy, so you may have to think about additional sound insulation. And the small size means that the trunk is also small - 170 liters.
3. Renault Sandero
Price - from 596 thousand rubles.
For the price, this hatchback is the best choice for people with a small amount of notes in the trunk and who are afraid of the Russian auto industry. The price for the basic package will be approximately 90 thousand rubles more than the first place in the rating. For the money, you get a 1.6 liter running engine. capacity of 82 liters. and manual gearbox.
According to car owners, the MPP is very good, it switches with a minimum of effort, like automatic. But the main advantage of the car is its suspension, which will perfectly cope with all the bumps both in the city and beyond. In general, it is an inexpensive and quite comfortable car, especially in the "advanced" trim levels.
Weak spots: seat heating works even too well, in the winter it will noticeably bake. The threshold of the trunk is a little high, with constant use it can peel off.
2. Datsun mi-DO
Price - from 529 thousand rubles.
MiDO is surprisingly reminiscent of its closest competitor, the Lada Grant - both in price and in engine capacity as standard (1.6 l) and the number of “horses” under the hood (87). Both cars have a manual gearbox. Perfect for those who just need a workhorse, which will feel good both in the city and outside the city. And to whom, in general, such trifles as the design and quality of interior materials are not important.
Weak spots: first of all, it's soundproofing. It leaves much to be desired: in winter, when driving on asphalt on winter tires, it will make noise so that you will check more than once if the window is open by chance. Well, the boot volume is not too large, so if you plan to buy a family of four or carry seedlings to the cottage for relatives, it is better to think about a more spacious car.
1. LADA Granta
Price - from 506 thousand rubles.
In first place among the cheapest hatchbacks in the Russian automobile market is the best car for a newcomer - LADA Granta. Like it or not, the opportunity to buy a new car at the price of a used foreign car is priceless.
Amazingly, at this price you get a fully working car for your full use, and not the “build it yourself” kit. In the basic configuration, Grants has a 1.6-liter engine with 87 hp. and manual transmission.
For its price category, this model has enough comfort, controllability, and endurance, as well as, which is important in Russian conditions, frost resistance (the car starts up calmly at -30). The result was a good workhorse for little money.
Weak spots: most likely, the disks will have to be replaced with more reliable ones. And everything in “Grant” is noisy: the gearbox howls when voltage is applied, the clutch clicks, the windows are rattling.
