Difference between SUVs And Crossovers

The SUVs are identified as sport utility vehicles with the four-wheel drive. In English the term SUVs is associated with real off-road. The SUVs have very specific characteristics such as high comfort, Roomy interior spaces, luxury, great powers, four-wheel drive and the body is extended that makes a fascinating sports car. The large size of these cars makes them safer in the event of an accident. Typically, in case of crash, occupants of SUVs are less subject to risks of those traveling in a utilitarian car. However, at the same time the very features of the size makes the SUVs subject to risks of overturning as the CG is located very high up. The SUVs have very large tires to increase road holding, driving comfort and the speed. Despite numerous qualities, these vehicles are subject to critically not suitable for the city, as they consume more fuel and exhaust elevated CO2 into the air from their powerful and Performance engines.

The Crossover is also called CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle). These are the vehicles with appearance similar to SUVs, but with different characteristics. The Crossover does not belong to a well-defined category and can be put near the category of Wagons.  Currently many compact SUVs belong to the category of Crossover.

 The Crossover has some deficiencies at the level of optional, finishes, and large displacements of powers engine. Mini SUVs do not have the four wheel drive, and are often 2WD. Above all, they have front concentrations. In Crossover we find a frame bearing monocoque which brings it even closer to compact cars. The first example of Crossover dates back to the eighties. The AMC Eagle made a fusion of the functionality of an SUV as the Jeep 4 × 4 with the floor and the body of the AMC Concord, a Traditional car 3-volume sedan.
