And from a safety point of view, the car has a good set of both active and passive systems, starting with airbags and belts with pretensioners and ending with emergency braking assistance.
8. Renault Sandero, Life

This model was created with an urban environment in mind. It is small, easy to maintain, and comfortable. The suspension allows you to feel comfortable both on asphalt and on a dirt road. And although the trunk is too small for a family of three or more, the spare tire fits into it without any problems.
True, as usual in inexpensive cars, noise insulation leaves much to be desired. There is windage at high speeds, but are high speeds often needed in urban conditions?

One of the best cars on the market in terms of price / quality ratio. It has a fairly high level of comfort: there is heated mirrors, heated seats and even a multimedia system. Families with children will appreciate the spacious boot (as well as child seat mounts). There is also a door lock to prevent children from accidentally opening them while driving.
The suspension of Lifan Solano is reliable, and thanks to the increased ground clearance, the car feels confident outside the city, if there is not completely off-road.
The Comfort package, in addition to the air conditioner, includes a 1.5 or 1.8 liter engine (100 and 125 hp respectively), a manual transmission, as well as an anti-lock braking system, airbags, belt adjustment, etc.
5. Renault Logan, Life
The price is 675 thousand rubles.
The creators of the car relied on simplicity, reliability and comfort, and achieved their goals. This is a fairly spacious car with an indestructible suspension, which is especially valuable in Russian realities. And it is also quite economical - it eats no more than 6-7 liters outside the city. There will be more around the city, but not much.
Just do not expect racing speeds and sharp turns from the Renault Logan. The car accelerates slowly, at high speeds there is a slight windage, although the handling is not bad. Noise isolation could be better. But the stove quickly warms up the interior even in severe frost.
In the Life configuration, the buyer will receive a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 82 "horses", five-speed mechanics, ABS and GLONASS systems, airbags and much more.
4. LADA 4 × 4, Luxe / Conditioner
Price - 623 thousand rubles.
The classic "Niva" is a well-known and beloved by Russians off-road vehicle, regularly transporting mushroom pickers and fishermen out of town. And after the redesign at the beginning of this year, it has become even more comfortable: the length of the rear seat has increased, two more fan speed modes have been added (there are four of them in total), the interior design has been updated. And finally the car has got a connector for a smartphone! But the two most important and pleasant changes are the modernized heating system and additional sound insulation.
As for the driving part, there are no special changes, and they are not needed. "Niva" is still passable, manageable, and, although the set of speed leaves much to be desired, on the harsh domestic roads and off-road it is still the queen.
3. Datsun mi-DO
Price - 593 thousand rubles.
The twin sister of Lada Grants, Datsun mi-DO, claims the same niche as the beloved brainchild of Avtovaz - an inexpensive workhorse for car enthusiasts seeking to save money.
The car is compact, quite economical, feels confident both on asphalt and on a country road after rain. The interior of the car is spacious for a family of 4 people, although the materials from which it is made speak volumes about the budget of the car. More upsetting is the soundproofing (it seems that it does not exist at all) and the trunk (it is only 250 liters).
But for your money, you will receive not just air conditioning, but full-fledged climate control (and also a 1.6-liter engine and a five-speed "mechanics").
2. Datsun on-DO, Trust II
The price is 570 thousand rubles.
At the beginning of this year, one of the most popular among budget class cars became even better - it underwent restyling. There were few changes made, but the new version will cost customers more than just 6 thousand rubles
As before, the Datsun on-DO has a 1.6-liter engine (106 and 87 hp), a five-speed gearbox (for a surcharge, you can put an automatic) and an almost indestructible suspension that feels comfortable even in the most remote Russian outback ...
And although the car is very similar to the LADA Granta (some of the design and external features are borrowed from the top car of the Russian car industry), however, even in the minimum configuration, Datsun on-DO is more benevolent to the buyer. For example, heated mirrors, heated seats, power steering and power windows are included by default.
By the way, it should be added that the Datsun on-DO brand is leaving the domestic market. If you like the car, we advise you to hurry up with the purchase!
1. LADA Granta
Price - 529 thousand rubles.
In the first place among the most budgetary cars with air conditioning is the permanent leader of the domestic auto industry and sales in Russia, and one of best cars for newbie - LADA Granta.
After the 2018 restyling, the car has become even better. A number of initial shortcomings (for example, the possibility of collision of pistons with valves when the timing belt breaks) have been corrected, the temperature regime has been optimized, and so on. As a result, an "iron horse" was born with a very energy-intensive suspension, smooth running even on the most bumpy road, high cross-country ability due to clearance and high-profile tires. And if we add excellent handling to this, it is clear why LADA Granta has been consistently keeping top sales for a long time.
LADA Granta also won the hearts of Russian car owners with its excellent (for a budget car) configurator. The car has four body types, a choice is available between mechanics, automatic and robotic transmissions, and as for the secondary options, there are a lot of them. One complete set with air conditioning 17 pieces! And there is always something to save on by individual selection of components.
