Crossovers currently make up over 50% of total passenger car sales, thanks to their excellent performance and comfortable, spacious interiors. They’re likely to get more and more popular as well. Here’s why people love them.
Style
The same crossovers remain popular even as the models get older. That’s because manufacturers continually update them with new styles that keep them looking fresh and desirable.
Options
Crossover buyers get to choose the upgrades they want in the vehicle they buy. This means everyone gets a vehicle customized to their requirements. No other car type allows for this sort of mass-market personalization while presenting a plethora of options.
Space
Crossovers have more space than sedans and hence are more comfortable. They’re great for families, road trips, and hauling luggage.
Prices
Crossovers are affordable. They have the features and design of big SUVs but don’t cost as much as them. They cost less because they’re cheaper to manufacture thanks to their unibody architecture. And they’re priced well because the competition is fierce.
Handling
It’s always great to have a car that’s easy to drive. The smart sizes of crossovers mean that tight spaces and narrow streets aren’t an issue. Finding parking spaces gets easier too.
Practicality
Crossovers have extra space for passengers and their luggage. The second row of a crossover can be folded flat to accommodate bulky items. Cargo can even be stacked vertically like in a hatchback.
Economy
Crossovers can work like SUVs, but they’re significantly more fuel-efficient than them. This is because crossovers are lighter and have engines designed to deliver a balance of power and economy.
Visibility
A higher seating position means that the driver gets a great view of the road ahead. It also helps seniors who have problems with the low seating of sedans get in and out easily.
Versatile
Crossovers let you zip in and out of traffic, respond quickly, and can even do some light offroading. Whether you’re spending the weekend in the city or the mountains, your crossover is a great companion.
Value
Crossovers combine the comforts of a sedan and the performance of an SUV. They have the latest infotainment and safety tech while being cost-effective to buy and run — the best of all worlds.
