Crossover
A crossover is a car that mixes hatchback or saloon underpinnings with SUV styling and a higher seating position.
What is Crossover?
It is usually built on the platform of a compact car. Most crossovers are front-wheel drive. They are among the best-selling body styles in Europe. Some crossovers offer all-wheel drive as an option.
How it works
A car platform gets a taller body, more ground clearance and SUV-style details.
Why it matters for your car
Rugged looks do not mean real off-road ability. Compare boot space with the hatchback it is based on.
