Today’s car buyer doesn’t necessarily want an SUV or truck. They want to feel like they’re driving something different. Many customers fall into the trap of buying cars because it’s a good deal rather than purchasing a vehicle that will fit their lifestyle going forward. The good thing about crossovers is that they appeal to both small and large buyers. Let’s look at some of the advantages of driving a crossover.
Affordable than SUVs
When buying a new car, the price is often at the top of our list. Crossover models are designed to fit in between traditional SUVs and sedans. They offer more versatility than body-on-frame SUVs, yet they’re cheaper to manufacture than many traditional SUVs.
Thanks to their ‘unibody’ architecture, they’re built on platforms borrowed from smaller cars in a brand’s range and given typical SUV styling cues on the outside. Of course, more expensive and hi-tech versions are available too. Manufacturers have sought to create upgrade packages that can make your crossover more luxurious without breaking the bank.
Spacious than A Hatchback
One of the reasons people choose crossovers over smaller cars is that crossovers offer more space for passengers and their luggage. Even though manufacturers use the same platforms for crossovers and smaller cars, they make a concerted effort to ensure that everyone has more space and that the cargo area is larger.
Elevated Seating
When you sit in a Crossover, you’ll immediately notice the difference. The raised ride height gives you a clear road view and offers a more comfortable, safer drive. And whether it’s for Motability or elderly drivers and passengers, the raised seating position makes getting in and out of the car easier.
Better Fuel Economy
Crossovers are smaller than SUVs and don’t have their larger counterparts’ hauling or off-road capabilities. Because of this, they’re more fuel efficient. With advances in engine technology, some Crossovers can get up to 78.5 mpg.
Superior Handling than SUVs
Because of their lightweight and car platform, Crossovers are more fuel efficient and cheaper than other SUVs. They also handle better than larger SUVs because they are easier to drive, park and maneuver through small spaces.
