While three-door body-on-frame SUVs are not uncommon, crossover SUVs with three doors (including the tailgate door) are less prevalent. The decline of two or three-door vehicles, in general, has led to the decline of this category.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ltd|first=Motionlab Marketing|date=2017-06-22|title=Europe says goodbye to 3-door Hatchs |url= https://www.jato.com/europe-says-goodbye-3-door-hatchs/ |access-date=2021-01-17 |work=JATO |archive-date=22 January 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122184457/https://www.jato.com/europe-says-goodbye-3-door-hatchs/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Toyota RAV4: From world first to world's best |url= https://newsroom.toyota.eu/toyota-rav4-from-world-first-to-worlds-best/|access-date=2021-01-17 |website=newsroom.toyota.eu  |archive-date=24 January 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210124155719/https://newsroom.toyota.eu/toyota-rav4-from-world-first-to-worlds-best/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Range Rover Evoque three-door axed ahead of second-generation model |url= https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/range-rover-evoque-three-door-axed-ahead-second-generation-model |access-date=2021-01-17 |work=Autocar |archive-date=11 January 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210111012736/https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/range-rover-evoque-three-door-axed-ahead-second-generation-model |url-status=live}}</ref>

Crossover SUVs with a sloping rear roofline may be marketed as a "coupe crossover SUV" or "coupe SUV". Although the term "[[coupe]]" itself is supposed to refer to a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and usually two doors (although some manufacturers have created a four-door coupé), most coupé crossover SUVs are equipped with five doors.<ref>{{cite web|title=Half sports car, half off-roader: The era of the SUV Coupe has begun |url= https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/uv/half-sports-car-half-off-roader-the-era-of-the-suv-coupe-has-begun/75740017 |access-date=2021-01-17|website=ETAuto.com |archive-date=22 January 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122025211/https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/uv/half-sports-car-half-off-roader-the-era-of-the-suv-coupe-has-begun/75740017|url-status=live}}</ref> The sloping roofline is designed to offer a styling advantage over its standard crossover counterpart, although others suggest that this is less attractive.<ref>{{cite web|title=Coupe de grace: How the SUV coupe offers the best of both worlds |url= https://cnaluxury.ccannelnewsasia.com/obsessions/suv-coupes-11814394|access-date=2021-01-17 |website=channelnewsasia.com |archive-date=21 January 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210121053157/https://cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.com/obsessions/suv-coupes-11814394 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Golson|first=Daniel|date=2018-11-13|title=The Crossover Coupe Explained — and Every One You Can Buy Today |url= https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g24844580/crossover-coupes-suvs |access-date=2021-01-17 |work=Car and Driver |archive-date=28 January 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210128183139/https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g24844580/crossover-coupes-suvs/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The body style has attracted criticism as being more expensive and less practical than normal crossovers.<ref>{{cite web|last=Noordeloos|first=Marc|date=2019-04-03|title=The SUV "Coupe" Is Ridiculous and Needs to Go Away|url= https://www.automobilemag.com/news/suv-coupes-must-go-porsche-cayenne-coupe/ |url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122025235/https://www.automobilemag.com/news/suv-coupes-must-go-porsche-cayenne-coupe/ |archive-date=22 January 2021 |access-date=2021-01-18 |website=automobilemag.com}}</ref> The [[BMW X6]] is credited to be the first coupe crossover.<ref>{{cite web|date=2021-06-18 |title=Auto Plus TV: why such a wave of coupe SUVs?|url= https://www.byri.net/2021/06/18/auto-plus-tv-why-such-a-wave-of-coupe-suvs/ |access-date=2022-02-02 |website=byri.net |archive-date=2 February 2022 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220202165730/https://www.byri.net/2021/06/18/auto-plus-tv-why-such-a-wave-of-coupe-suvs/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
