Wadav has made a rating of the most popular crossovers in the USA. It includes some models that Americans most often buy in 2018.
The rating did not take into account the medium- and full-size SUVs. For example, the list of sales leaders did not include models such as the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Explorer. By technical characteristics, these cars are closer to SUVs.
Unlike the European car classification, in which all vehicles are categorized according to body size and cost, an entirely different system of vehicle categories is used in the United States.
For example, a car like the Chevrolet Malibu in America is considered the standard medium-small car, while in Europe and our country, the car is considered a full-size sedan. We will not go into detail as to why the system of classification of vehicles in different countries differs so much.
A Crossover SUV, often called a crossover utility vehicle, combines elements from a standard SUV and a passenger car. Crossover SUVs are made to give the roominess, adaptability, and higher driving position typical of SUVs, as well as better fuel economy, greater maneuverability, and a more comfortable ride similar to a car.
One of its defining features is a crossover SUV's unibody structure, in which the body and frame are combined into one piece. This design is unique, unlike conventional SUVs, which frequently feature body-on-frame construction. Crossovers with unibody construction are lighter, more fuel-efficient, and have better handling and ride quality than cars.
