Are crossovers a meme? I want something bigger than the hatchback

>>16217701
don't get a cx3.
it's smaller than the 3.
i guess take a look at honderp hr-v.

>>16217717
I know, the picture is of the CX-5

>>16217701
Small crossovers are just lifted hatchbacks, larger ones are lifted wagons or minivans.
Hell, sometimes they're not even lifted at all, they don't have additional ground clearance, just seats that are placed higher up.

Just get a wagon anon unless you need vertical load space.

Just get a wagon

Then don't get a Crossover unless it's a Subaru Outback or Crosstrek.

>>16217791
Would a crossover not be able to handle mud and snow?

>>16217738
This

Buy the new CX-5 so Mazda has the money to make the RX-9

>>16217784
So not a fwd crossover

>>16217801
No better than your average hatchback or wagon.

>>16217810

And why would that be? Most crossovers barely increase ride height, if at all, so they're literally just heavier, taller hatchbacks or wagons. All other things being equal (engine, transmission etc) they should handle bad conditions about the same.

That femanon feels "safer".

This.

Parents were looking at a V60 T5, then I explained why that was kinda dumb idea.

They now have a V60 T6 that they got for near enough the same price, people will pay out the ass for a slight lift and black cladding.

At least Volvo's XCs get a slight lift, there's an S60 XC near me which has more ground clearance than the Outlander PHEVs on the same street.

>>16217841
The CX5 has way more clearance than the 3 tho desu senpai

Any vehicle and handle mud and snow with good tires. Just get an acura tsx sportwagen and fuck off. AWD is unnecessary.

We have /ORG/ for this reason. >>16217354 (be careful, though as we are currently in shitpost mode).


The be all answer (that also leads to more questions) is that a lot of SUVs are the best possible offroaders / oberlanders. However, many modern (and a lot of old) SUVs are built for utility, towing, space, and luxury as opposed to how they initially started out (like a LUV).

You'll have to look at classes and individual examples of crossovers and hatches (and sometimes wagons) than just lumping them into the shape of the vehicle and judging them by that alone.

>>16217873
The ride height on the Cross Country are nice. I don't understand why the fuck they're $7000-$10,000 more expensive for a lift and black cladding, though.

Wouldn't it be both better and cheaper to buy a normal one and have a shop lift it a few inches?

The reason why people buy crossover/suv is because companies are slowly stoped producing minivans. most people who bought minivans in the past enjoy the high sitting position. comfi/feel safe also when you get older your kneed are not the same anymore. the problem with the wagon is that the height of the cabin is smaller than in suv´s.

>>16219884
Imo it was because non offroading normalfags wanted the outdoorsy image but with mall parking friendly handling.

>>16217841
So this is where Toyota RIPPED off that grille styling

>>16217784
Then stop being a cuck and get a body on frame suv with 4x4
