First you need to decide on the tasks that you will set in front of your SUV. If it is planned for mostly moving around the city with a parking lot in a snowdrift and rare rods in nature - this is one. If you want to climb the swamps and take part in safaris and rally raids, then this is completely different. Therefore, it is conventionally split all the jeeps into three categories - cars for outdoor activities, they are "PARKTERS", "ordinary" SUVs for all types of roads and "professional" roads for off-road. In each class there are its subgroups and we will try to understand the abundance of jeeps in our market.

We first note not even crossovers, and universals of increased passability. These are trucks with a complete drive and an increased road lumen, the prototype of which was the usual road universals. They work perfectly with their duties - they allow sustainably to keep a slippery road, provide comfort at the business class car level, can easily and easily leave the snow-covered parking and, if necessary, to overcome light off-road from the route to the picnic place. Typical representatives of this group are Subaru Outback, Audi Allroad and Volvo V70 Cross Country.

In the second subgroup of "Parketniks" includes cars, already clearly resembling classic jeeps forms. These include such models like Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4, Lexus RX300 and many others. All these cars are equipped with independent suspension and carrier body. Also, the four-wheel drive has a simplified design, without inter-axis and wheeled blocks. The sensations from managing such cars are close to sensations when driving ordinary cars, but the possibilities are wider - you can easily climb on the curb or park directly in a snowdrift. But the serious off-road qualities of this subgroup can not dream.

The group under the conventional name "ordinary" SUVs is a kind of "transitional" class between the "PARCATHER" and "professional" SUV. As a rule, their body has a frame structure, or carrying the body with power elements integrated into it to ensure strength and rigidity. The chassis is very powerful, and the transmission is equipped with various locks. They are at a very high level, but some possibilities are limited due to the fact that the designers pay a lot of attention to the comfort of the car to make it most for the daily urban ride. The classic representatives of this group are Mercedes ML, Mitsubishi Pajero, Jeep Grandcherokee and so on.

Well, finally, for off-road fans - "professional" SUVs, namely, cars for riding quite without roads. Here you need to make aware that in this car everything is subordinated to the passability, and not comfort, and daily riding under normal conditions can be a very tedious occupation. Cars of this class have only frame design and dependent pendants in front and rear. All possible interlineare and inter-track locks are also provided. Such models on the unit market. The classic is considered the legendary Land Rover Defender. Also here you can enable Nissan Patrol, Mercedes G-Class. And, of course, the domestic UAZ.
We are in this brief review does not focus on the pricing of this segment of the car market - price range is very wide, and sometimes hatch "SUV" may be more expensive "professional" all-terrain vehicle. Here everyone is solved for himself, that he can afford. But we hope that these suggestions will help you to simplify your choice of challenging off-road vehicle.
