Meet the 40 cheapest SUV cars in Chile

The SUV segment for some years has been the most relevant in Chile and in the world. The most well-known type of vehicle, which provides a greater sense of safety due to height, has a 41.3% local market share.

Due to this situation, brands are betting more and more on SUVs, concentrating their forces on the B and C sub-segments, which this year find themselves with the best-selling models.

These days, in addition, SUVs benefit from a series of discounts, a product of the stock that exists on the market and the change of year that arrives in September, which has brought back the classic tradition – lost in times of pandemic – of offers and bonuses.

In MT the third We review the models available on official sites and prepare a list with the 40 cheapest SUVs in the country in its entry version, those that are installed below the threshold of 16 million pesos always taking into account in the price the discount offered directly by the brands, yes, without adding the extra bonus that comes in some models with specific financing.

The so-called Brand Bonus (for any event and with any payment method) is quite relevant nowadays and can reach 3.6 million pesos, as is the case with the Hyundai Creta.

This editorial decision to only take the Brand Bonus and not the Bonus Funding is based on the fact that the price we publish is accessible to all people, regardless of the method of payment or funding used. Another decision in the list is that sedans inspired by SUVs have not been added, but which are in fact passenger vehicles, the same case with the Van or the MiniVan which will be analyzed in a future note.

When analyzing the list, the huge offer that comes from China is appreciated, since of the 40 cheapest SUVs in Chile, 32 models come from the Asian giant.
