THE CHEAPEST B-CLASS CARS FOR 2020: TOP-7

Send

Currently, the Russian automotive market is going through hard times, the reason for this is the unstable economic situation both in the country and abroad. As a result, we see a "jumping" rate of foreign currencies, which forces domestic dealers to revise car prices.

Unfortunately, despite the rise in prices, the incomes of Russians remained at the same level, which negatively affected the purchasing power of the population, which began to look for an opportunity to get more for less money. This applies not only to food, clothing and electronics, but also to cars. That is why we have analyzed the domestic market and are ready to present the TOP-7 of the most affordable B-class cars officially presented on the territory of the Russian Federation.

It should be noted right away that the term “affordable car” does not imply that it is the least reliable or least equipped. These are the machines that are offered at a more attractive price in comparison with direct competitors in the class. So let's go!

1. Chery M11 sedan

The Chinese brand Chery has been present on the Russian market for 10 years and offers cars with one of the best price / equipment ratios, and the Chery M11 sedan is no exception. Note that the exterior of the car looks modern and primitive, which is not surprising, since it was developed by the famous Italian design studio Pininfarina, from which came out such models as Ferrari Enzo and Maserati Quattroporte, as well as a number of cars under the Alfa brand Romeo, Peugeot and others.

The price of the car at the moment starts at 459 thousand rubles. For this money, the buyer gets a modern, stylish and well-built B-class car, equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 126 hp, which is enough to accelerate the car to a maximum of 180 km / h.

The car offers a truly impressive list of standard equipment, which includes:

Full power accessories;
Electrically adjustable headlights and rear mirrors, which are additionally heated;
Multifunctional steering wheel with the ability to control the audio system;
Heated front row seats;
Air conditioning;
Luggage compartment electric drive;
System for remote opening of the gas tank cap;
ABS and EBD systems, as well as front airbags.

Despite the fact that the Chery M11 is a Chinese car, it is not perceived as such. The reason for this is not only a pleasant and modern exterior and good quality fit of interior details, but also rich equipment, which allows it to compete with more expensive and "status" colleagues in the class.

2. Hyundai Solaris

The next representative of the "affordable" B-class car was the bestseller of the Russian market Hyundai Solaris, which has recently undergone an update. On the domestic market, the car is presented in two variations - a sedan and a hatchback. The updated version of the car got rid of a number of "shortcomings" that its predecessor had sinned, and also acquired an even more modern exterior, which is at least one step ahead of its closest competitors.

The minimum price for a car is 623 thousand rubles, for which the buyer can count on a car equipped with a 1.4-liter petrol engine with a capacity of 107 hp, as well as a manual 5-speed gearbox. The maximum declared speed of the car is 190 km / h, while fuel consumption varies between 4.9-7.6 liters, depending on the cycle of operation. The complete set of the base Hyundai Solaris is presented:

Two airbags;
ABS and EBD systems;
Immobilizer and central locking;
Power windows for the front doors;
Full-size spare wheel and R15 steel wheels;
Power steering wheel;
Light tinted glass.

For an additional fee, the buyer can retrofit the car with heated front seats, heated and electrically adjustable side mirrors, as well as air conditioning and audio preparation with 4 speakers. It is also worth noting that the car participates in the recycling program, which allows you to get an additional discount on the car in the amount of 50 thousand rubles.

3. Daewoo (Ravon) Gentra

Daewoo Gentra is a Chevrolet Lacetti of the previous generation, but has several differences, in particular a different shape of the head optics, a new bumper and radiator grill, as well as a slightly redesigned instrument panel.

The manufacturer notes that the machine is built on proven components and assemblies, which guarantees their high reliability and maintainability.

The minimum price of Daewoo (Ravon) Gentra in Russia starts at 539 thousand rublesfor which the buyer receives:

1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 108 hp, capable of accelerating the car to 180 km / h and consuming 6.5-9.5 l / 100 km, which depends on the selected mode (highway / city);
A couple of airbags;
Immobilizer and central locking;
Electro-corrector of headlights and front power windows;
Electrically adjustable and heated side-view mirrors;
Audio preparation with 4 speakers;
Steel wheels R14;
Daytime running lights;
Power steering, as well as a full-size spare tire.

Together with the new Gentra, the buyer gets a fairly versatile and practical mid-size sedan, which has a large trunk (volume 405/1225 liters), as well as a good level of equipment, which is only a little inferior to the “Chinese”.

4. Lifan Solano

Lifan is another Chinese car brand that has recently appeared in Russia, but is confidently gaining popularity among our compatriots. The company's arsenal includes rich equipment, good design and low cost of cars. So, one of the most affordable B-class sedans in the Lifan model range is the Solano model, which debuted on the Russian market in 2010.

The car offers a rather ordinary appearance, in which some may see solutions of both European and Asian models, as well as equipment rich for its value, which captivates the domestic consumer. Thus, the minimum cost of a car of the last model year is 599.9 thousand. The car is equipped with a 1.6-liter 106-horsepower engine paired with a manual transmission. The Solano's top speed is 170 km / h, and the average fuel consumption ranges from 7.8 to 8 liters.

The car offers one of the richest configurations, which includes:

Alloy wheels;
Leather interior trim;
Power steering wheel;
Parktronic;
Light sensor and fog lights;
ABS, EBD systems, as well as two airbags;
Full power accessories;
Heated driver's and first-row passenger's seats;
Air conditioning;
Audio system with 6 speakers;
Multifunctional steering wheel with audio control;
Central locking and repeaters of turns on the side-view mirrors.

The 2015 model year modification has a similar set of equipment in the database. Perhaps the car offers the most interesting level of equipment of the entire five presented.

5. Lada Priora

Lada Priora, produced by AvtoVAZ since 2007, still enjoys good popularity among Russians. The car offers a slightly outdated exterior, which in fact is a slightly modernized design of the VAZ 2110.

The car is equipped with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine producing 87 hp, which is enough to accelerate the car to a maximum of 176 km / h.

The acceleration dynamics of the sedan is not impressive - acceleration from 0 to 100 takes 12.5 seconds, which, even by the standards of less powerful, but more modern cars, looks rather weak, to put it mildly.

Currently, the car is being sold at a price of $ 474,000.rubles, however, using the trade-in system or the recycling program, the buyer can count on an additional discount in the amount of 30 thousand rubles. For these funds, the car owner receives:

Driver's airbag;
ABS BAS systems, as well as a brake force distribution system;
Trip computer located in the center of the dashboard;
Electric booster and cabin air filter;
Front windows and audio preparation;
R13 steel wheel rims;
Body-colored bonnet and trunk moldings.

Lada Priora is one of the most affordable representatives of the B-class on the Russian market, offering a simple and laconic design, as well as a minimum set of "necessities". The car can easily take on board up to 5 adults, as well as hand luggage, which can be placed in a rather large trunk with a volume of 430 liters. Despite its age, cars continue to be popular not only among middle-aged people, but also among young people.

6. Chevrolet Aveo

A car produced in 2012-2014 with a relatively low mileage of 100 thousand km can be bought for 400 thousand rubles. This price includes the 1.6-liter 115-horsepower F16D4 engine, which is virtually indistinguishable from the powertrains integrated in the Opel Astra H and Chevrolet Cruze models. The novelty has a front-wheel drive and a manual transmission.

Interior trim elements look pretty and elegant enough. By the standards of the budget price segment, the Chevrolet Aveo is a good car and fully corresponds to its class. Model wear occurs naturally.
No particular deficiencies in the chassis have been identified. The steering is made with high quality.

7. Ford Fiesta

The car is sold at a price of 400 thousand for the basic version of the 6th generation. Gasoline engines with different volumes and power reserves are used as a power plant. The "younger" 1.25-liter version generates 82 hp. with. power. The next in the lineup is the 1.4-liter unit with 96 liters. with., and the most powerful is the 1.6-liter 120-horsepower release. The listed engines belong to the same Sigma segment and practically do not differ from each other. The most popular is the 1.6-liter Ti-VCT.

The transmission is an IB5 mechanic and an automatic transmission of the 4F27 E series.

Externally, the car looks restrained, but stylish, which characterizes its belonging to the class of urban models. The salon provides all the necessary options and high-quality finishing. According to drivers, Ford Fiesta fully justifies its price.

In addition to the presented cars, you can also recall the latest generation Daewoo Nexia (price from 450 thousand rubles), Lifan Cebrium (cost from 449.9 thousand rubles), as well as several representatives of the Korean and French car industry, which, however, have a cost of over 600 thousand rubles.

And finally, I would like to note that when choosing an affordable car, it is worth starting not only from the minimum cost and level of basic equipment, but also from the performance of a particular car (availability of a guarantee, reviews of real owners, availability of a service network, etc.). Only in this case the buyer will be able to get the most out of the car with the minimum investment.
