Despite everything that’s going on in the world right now, the one segment that is still enjoying staggering growth is crossovers. And with over 70 different kinds of crossovers currently sold in the United States, consumers who are looking to make the switch have more than enough options to choose from. Read on to find out what makes these vehicles a good deal.
Third-Row Seating
With third-row seating being steadily adopted by SUVs, minivans have all but disappeared. While most third-row seats are still a tight squeeze, and in some cases only accessible by flipping or folding down the second row, some crossovers offer an aisle in the second row that seems to make things easier. Sliding second-row seats are another feature that makes third-row seating better. While none of these options is roomy, crossover buyers still find the feature reason enough to upgrade from a sedan or downsize from a hulking full-sized SUV.
More to Choose From
With manufacturers looking to recover from flagging sales, crossovers are only getting better and more loaded with features. With a number of them offering stylish designs, plush interiors, family-friendly fold-down seats, and high-end tech, average American families are enjoying the range of luxurious choices at very affordable price points.
Do More with Less
In addition to providing car-like comfort with some SUV functionality, the unibody frame of crossovers gives consumers more interior space than ever before. This means you can have a smaller car but be able to cart around much more than you could previously. While some crossovers’ fuel economy ratings are nothing to write home about, others are indeed an achievement.
Overall, the biggest reason crossovers are popular seems to be because of how much value and use you get for every dollar spent. More stable and comfortable to drive around, city dwellers who are short on space love them the most. Why? Because crossovers make it easy to park in smaller spaces, get more space without a bigger vehicle or head out on the road for outdoorsy activities. With plenty of towing power to haul your bikes, trailers, and even your boats easily, crossovers are here to stay and with plenty of good reasons.
