Here is a young man of 30-35 years old. Successfully builds a career, not poor and not yet married. Prefers (maybe forced because of the office dress code) an expensive suit with a tie. Character is solid. The mood is sporty. Previously, he would have bought a BMW 5 Series (M-Technik style) or a Mercedes-Benz coupe. If you haven’t met such people, go to Moscow City, for example. There are only those.
And what can the Russian market offer it today, if we take a budget of 5–5.5 million rubles as a starting point? Better, of course, a new car, but it is possible with minimal mileage.
We look.
BMW
You can’t buy a new BMW M5 for that kind of money. But if you have 5.5 million, you can count on a 2018 M5 F90 with about 50,000 km on it. Or “just” a BMW 5 Series, but already in 2021, with a 249-horsepower engine and xdrive all-wheel drive. Perhaps even with the M-Performance body kit and other elements of the “M-package”.
Alas, in this case the car will also have a mileage of 20,000–52,000 km. That’s a lot for a two year old car.
BMW M5 skillfully disguises itself as a respectable sedan, being a real sports car. But you can’t buy a new “emka” with 5 million.

Crossovers X5 M and X6 M for the same money are even older and with high mileage. One of the companies in Vladivostok offers to bring under the order for 5,300,000 rubles a 2022 BMW X3 M with a mileage of only 4,000 km. Japanese auction car. There is a nuance – the steering wheel is on the right.
But for 5,050,000 rubles, you can also buy a 2022 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe with a mileage of only 2,900 km and in the M Special package. Thanks to the 306-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, this car accelerates to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds. And it looks spectacular.
Mercedes-Benz
There is practically no point in watching the AMG line. The E-class for the money is comparable in age and mileage to the BMW 5 Series. The AMG C-Class will be at its best in 2019, with a claimed mileage of 12,000 km.

Within 5–5.5 million rubles, you can find a “simple” E-class, but in a coupe body with all-wheel drive. True, under the hood there will be a 2-liter gasoline engine developing 197 hp. — not enough for such a car. However, the engine power can not be called, using the “Rolls-Royce” term “sufficient”. Yes, and on the transport tax there is an opportunity to save decently – if you are interested.
And this option does not suit? For sale in Moscow there is a 2021 C-class with a mileage of only 12,000 km, recently brought from abroad. Cabriolet! But you have to put up with the fact that it has a diesel engine (194 hp) and a red body color.
Of the crossovers for the same money, you can only look at the GLC Coupe no younger than 2020, even with a diesel, even with a gasoline engine.
Audi

Cars with a sporty character from Audi are the S and RS models. For more than five million, you can count on an S4 with low mileage (700 km, 1100 km) or an S6 with a 3-liter 349 horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, which has run about 30,000 km.
If you are not confused by the light green color and the small size of the car, you can buy a 400-horsepower RS3, both a sedan and a hatchback. The runs of these cars are 11,000 and 18,000 km, respectively.

Interestingly, for the same money you can buy the RS5, a coupe with a 450-horsepower engine. But 2017 is 2018 at best.
And the most intelligent option is the 2021 Audi A5 coupe with a range of 10,900 km, a 249-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive. True, if you are not from St. Petersburg, you will have to go to the Northern capital to get a car. However, this can also be a bonus to the purchase: driving an Audi on the M-11 is a separate pleasure.
Porsche
To make an impression, just one key with a black stallion on a striped shield is enough. Yes, and most certainly pleased to be the owner of a Porsche. For 5.5 million rubles, you can become the owner of a 2019 Macan or even a 2019 Macan S, a 2018 Cayenne, a 2019 Cayman or even a 2019 Boxster convertible.
Other options

For 5.5 million rubles, you can buy real American muscle cars Dodge Challenger and Charger 2019-2021 with meager runs. They look cool, and they sound even cooler. Yes, and they drive hard: it’s not without reason that 492 hp!
On request, we are ready to bring you a Ford Bronco. Yes, it has 5 doors instead of 3 as before. And yet it is a car of an individualist. It is difficult to imagine driving a venerable father of the family. At least we have.
Of course, there is not a drop of sportiness in the Ford Brono, but it is a very charismatic car, much more noticeable than the usual Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz.

Cars 2019-2021, low mileage. Although for the same 5.5 million they sell a 1972 Mustang in good condition. Located in the Voronezh region.

Where is Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler, there is Land Rover Defender, agree? The 2022 SUV costs just 5–5.5 million rubles. True, driving a Defender is hard to imagine a young man in a suit and tie, but all people are different, and this can happen.

Expert opinion about Voyah Free
Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of Za Rulem:
Appearance – Italian studio ItalDesign. Almost 5 meters. Modular platform, air suspension (for top-end cars, spring as standard), two electric motors (one for each axle), NEDC cycle range of about 500 km. Battery – 100 kWh. There is also a hybrid version (electric + gasoline turbo four 1.5, 109 hp) with a power reserve of 860 km.
The interior is just awesome. The quality of materials is bombing. And many interesting solutions – for example, squinting front panel with two display configuration options. This is the premium segment, for sure.
***
As you can see, the choice is rather big. Moreover, traditional options – those that were bought before 2022 – look less interesting than those that have appeared on our market over the past year.
But when buying any car, it is worth considering how you are going to operate it, where and how to service it. Well-known brands look better here.
