The ‘crossover’ vehicle is one of the hottest crazes sweeping the constant changing world of the family car. Crossover vehicles offer consumers the benefits of both a car and an SUV.
A crossover vehicle has the benefits of a SUV or Mini Van with a car-based platform, with ride, handling and performance characteristics similar to cars. They can appear either station wagon or SUV like in appearance. Crossover vehicles are quieter and lighter than a conventional SUV, provide a smoother ride and are usually more fuel efficient.
What makes the crossover different from an SUV is the independent suspension making them easier to handle. They are quieter, lighter and more aerodynamic and generally a much smoother ride. Crossover vehicles are not meant to be used as an off road vehicle however I doubt very much most people will miss the off-roading capabilities of the SUV. According to MSN Autos, 85% of men and 89.2% of women have never driven their SUV off-road – not surprising statistics.
The crossover seems to be the complete package for consumers wavering between a car and an SUV as it offers what seem to be the best qualities of car and SUV, providing excellent traction, better drive height than an SUV (making parking easier!) and carrying capacity that is appealing about the SUV. Definitely an enticing blend, I am betting more and more consumers will be joining the crossover craze for their next family vehicle.
The top most fuel efficient crossover vehicles as listed by AOL Autos are the Hybrid options:
Ford Escape Hybrid – 31 mpg highway and 34 mpg city Lexus RX400IT – 24 mpg hwy and 26 mpg city Toyota Highlander Hybrid – 25 mpg highway and 27 mpg city Chevy Tahoe Hybrid – 22 mpg highway and 21 mpg city
A Hybrid Crossover will cost you more upon purchase but will save you money at the pump in the long run not to mention cut down on emissions. However if you are looking for a more economical option upon purchase there are these entry level crossovers that are also fairly fuel efficient:
Honda CRV – 27 mpg highway and 20 mpg city Hyundai Sante Fe – 24 mpg highway and 17 mpg city Kia Sportage – 28 mpg highway and 23 city Ford Edge – 24 mpg highway and 16 mpg city
When choosing your next family vehicle whether it’s a crossover, SUV or a Mini Van, do your research, check out user reviews, compare safety standards and make sure it’s the best fit for you and your family.
