There are many reasons why buying an SUV is an excellent choice. The most common reason to buy an SUV is the better visibility on the road. When sitting higher you can see further up ahead, even when there are no cars on the road, sitting up higher gives a better viewing angle towards potential objects on the road.
SUVs are larger and safer. In an accident where you collide with a truck, SUVs are safer due to the body shape of the car. It will avoid sliding under the truck because of the flat front fascia of an SUV. Also, from a side angle an SUV has more body to protect you from a side collision.

On mycarena, we categorise all SUVs under one. But there are different SUV variants that have joined the automotive market over time. One of them is the popular “crossover”. These are compact hatchbacks with a lifted suspension. Examples are the Volkswagen T-Roc and T-Cross.
How can you notice a crossover? They are essentially compact hatchbacks to begin with. But the major difference you will find between a compact hatchback and crossover is the height. They have slightly more ground clearance and as a result are slightly taller.
They all have a boxier design as well and that can be noticed from the front fascia. The nose of a crossover is flat, just like any other large SUV. Because of this design, the front bonnet has much less slope like on a hatchback.
Now that a crossover is based on a regular car. The vehicle isn’t really meant for off-roading. Majority of crossovers have small petrol-powered engines powering the front wheels only. This concept will not really work in off-road terrain.
The price of a crossover compared to the hatchback it is based on is near identical. The Volkswagen T-Roc and Volkswagen Golf both start around 25.000 euro including discount.
It is all a matter of taste, but crossovers are becoming very popular option. Traditional cars such as the Golf are losing interest compared to the more popular crossovers from the brand, the T-Roc and T-Cross.
The crossover isn’t a real SUV but is often seen or categorised as an SUV. For your search on mycarena, select the SUV type to also see crossovers in your search results.
