Editing Crossover SUV (section)

== Characteristics ==
Crossovers' driving characteristics and performance are similar to those of traditional passenger cars while providing more passenger and cargo space with relatively minor trade-offs in fuel economy and running costs. According to ''[[Consumer Reports]]'', the three top-selling crossovers in the US in 2018 ([[Toyota RAV4]], [[Honda CR-V]], and [[Nissan Rogue]]) return an average of 10% less fuel economy than the top three selling sedan equivalents in the mid-size segment ([[Toyota Camry]], [[Honda Accord]], [[Nissan Altima]]), but provide almost 1.5 times the cargo space. Furthermore, the average mid-size crossover in the US costs less than 5% more than the average mid-size car.<ref name=":5" />

Compared to truck-based SUVs, crossovers typically have greater interior comfort, a more comfortable ride, better fuel economy, and lower manufacturing costs, but inferior off-road and towing capabilities.<ref name="intelli">{{cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=What is a Crossover Vehicle?|url= http://www.intellichoice.com/carBuying101/what-is-a-crossover|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110717054551/http://www.intellichoice.com/carBuying101/what-is-a-crossover|archive-date=17 July 2011|access-date=27 July 2015 |work=Intellichoice |quote=They can be either wagon- or SUV-like in appearance (although they are not really intended for off-road use)}}</ref><ref name="cnn1" /><ref name="autos.aol.com">{{cite web |title=Crossover 101 |url= http://autos.aol.com/article/crossovers-101/ |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160416223830/http://autos.aol.com/article/crossovers-101/ |archive-date=16 April 2016 |access-date=11 November 2019 |website=aol.com}}</ref> Many crossovers lack an [[all-wheel drive|all-wheel drive or four-wheel-drive]] train, which, in combination with their inferior off-road capability, causes many journalists and consumers to question their definition as "sports utility vehicles". This has led some to describe crossovers as pseudo-SUVs.<ref>{{cite web|last=Parker|first=Sean|title=What it's like living with the Venue, Hyundai's smallest crossover |url= https://www.news24.com/wheels/newmodels/road-tests/what-its-like-living-with-the-venue-hyundais-smallest-crossover-20201105 |access-date=2021-01-17 |work=Wheels |archive-date=22 January 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122195153/https://www.news24.com/wheels/newmodels/road-tests/what-its-like-living-with-the-venue-hyundais-smallest-crossover-20201105|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=2020 Lexus UX 250h Review: An Efficient Pseudo-SUV |url= https://www.cars.com/articles/2020-lexus-ux-250h-review-an-efficient-pseudo-suv-425888/|access-date=2021-01-17 |website=Cars.com |archive-date=22 January 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122182029/https://www.cars.com/articles/2020-lexus-ux-250h-review-an-efficient-pseudo-suv-425888/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Rizvi|first=Aariz|date=2019-11-10 |title=Buying A Real SUV In A World Of Pseudo SUVs |url= https://www.motorbeam.com/buying-a-real-suv-in-a-world-of-pseudo-suvs/ |access-date=2021-01-17 |work=MotorBeam |archive-date=22 January 2021|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210122180544/https://www.motorbeam.com/buying-a-real-suv-in-a-world-of-pseudo-suvs/|url-status=live}}</ref>
