The Top Reasons to Buy a Crossover
Crossovers are SUVs based on car platforms. They’re stable and easy to drive. And offer significantly higher levels of comfort as compared to SUVs. And they’re the most popular vehicles with families today. Here are the best reasons why your next vehicle should be a crossover.
Styling: Manufacturers constantly refresh crossovers to keep them ahead of the trends. They’re designed to be attractive, approachable, and comfortable, but balanced with aesthetic cues of larger, more powerful SUVs. Because they’re also marketed based on their style, shoppers also perceive them differently. Carmakers also experiment more with crossover styles resulting in a segment that always feels dynamic.
Efficiency: Crossovers can provide the benefits of SUVs without some of their drawbacks. Sure, most crossovers can’t tow as much as SUVs, and most can’t go off-roading. But, the biggest point in favor of crossovers is their fuel efficiency. People who want to save money but not give up on the space, comfort, and practicality of SUVs found their perfect match with crossovers. They’re lighter and mostly powered by turbocharged four-cylinder engines that beautifully balance power and efficiency.
Pricing: SUVs are always more expensive than sedans or hatchbacks. But crossovers are always competitively priced. This is because they share drivetrains and platforms with the manufacturer’s sedans. They all start at around the same price range, but the features that are available with each make and model differ. So you can choose which crossover gives you the most bang for your buck.
Options: Crossovers have matured since they first arrived. They are capable of so much more than ever before. Some even have towing capacities of up to 5,200 pounds. AWD has also become a common option now among higher trims. They also offer all the perks of minivans without looking like them. And despite their competitive pricing, they all offer a touch of class. All thanks to the fierce competition in this segment that benefits customers.
Third row: Crossovers killed minivans when they started offering third-row seats that were spacious, comfortable, and could fold flat to accommodate cargo. But they did all that while being more efficient, cheaper, and better looking than minivans. Families love these perks that crossovers offer. And you will too.
