SUV vs Crossover - What's The Difference? 

Suv all day everyday,I like the look and truck ride that's I'm keeping my 08 explorer with the v8, still ride great

I have an Explorer and a Rogue. This is the clearest explanation I have heard. Thank you.

Great Video Chris. I have had to explain this to several different people over the years.

My 5 and 6 yr old love SUVs and love their RU-vid reviews. This will be helpful for them as I'm trying to explain the difference :D. Thanks!

Nice explanations. However I wish the prices for the suv or crossovers were same as sedans. Some of the suv or crossovers with option or just starting msrp are amount of a mortgage. Thanks for review.

Clear and to the point, thanks!

Interesting. Thanks for doing it.

I like crossovers for fuel economy and travel comfort. Unless it is packed window to window a crossover is easily accessible getting in and out and will still give you the elevation on the road. I have an Escalade. The reason is because I wanted a four wheel drive capable vehicle that had a lot of towing capacity. An AWD crossover is not good on fuel and the differentials typically go out more because they are overworked when people challenge their capabilities. My two cents😬

CUV most serves families for many reasons, including large area and high clearance of the land, which is useful in the rainy winter days and is not the purpose of the cuv to conduct wild adventures because more use in the streets and terraced semi-winding ...

Thanks bro I really appreciate it, love SUV’s 😀

The lines are so blurred these days. GM refers to my Chevy Trax as a compact crossover suv. I've also heard them refer to it as a subcompact suv. It's a unibody, but my vehicle registration says it's a truck. Nothing makes sense anymore.

🙂 I need a Crossover. Or something even a bit smaller. Thanks for the video !! Good stuff to know ! Subbed ! 👍🏼🙋🏻‍♀️

Excellent presentation, Chris. There are a number of reasons that almost all body-on-frame SUV's have been replaced with unibody CUV's over the years. You've identified the most important, the fact that CUV's have more appealing driving dynamics for most consumers. I'd add a few others. () Lighter weight of unibody platforms results in better fuel economy and/or better performance than comparable body-on-frame vehicles. () Unibody designs (especially when combined with FWD and FWD-biased AWD) provide more flexibility in terms of internal space allocation and greater overall interior room. () The advantages of body-on-frame SUV's lie in (a) towing capacity and (b) capabilities in extreme off-road environments. Neither, however, is a high priority for most consumers. The bottom line is that CUV's play the same role as family station wagons played in the 1950's with an image of ruggedness and higher driver seating positions that wagons (and minivans) lack. The remaining body-on-frame SUV's are appropriate for more specialized use cases and for those who feel the need to reinforce their masculine gender identity with a vehicle.

SUV- Car which is a SUV. Crossover- Cars which try to look like an SUV but mechanically they aren't.

AWD crossovers are more appropriate for most people’s needs. Their capabilities are targeted towards handling bad weather, not off-roading. Most people’s SUVs were just overkill. Believe it or not, I used to drive down beat up dirt roads to get to a hunting spot in an old Cutlass Supreme that was rear wheel drive and no traction control. Somehow it always managed. My SUV used to do it without the drama but so would an AWD crossover.

SUV and Sedan for me. I have a Sedan and a Truck, the latter of which will be replaced by an SUV in about 3 years because it's rusting and I like SUV's better than pickup trucks anyway(but at least I tried to get into pickup trucks). I've always had such hatred for crossovers.

Cross overs until my wife and I have a 3 child. Then I’ll be on the SUV bandwagon. Thanks for another great Video Chris. ✊🏾✊🏾💯

As per the information that you provided, nowadays cuv is almost same like suv. Only advantage in suv is fuel economy. That's it right? Are there any advantages over one another apart from fuel economy?

My dodge Durango uses a unibody structure, I had no idea that my dodge Durango is a crossover. No wonder it feels so nimble to drive.

I love the land curser

That land cruiser is siick

1x(10/17/22)….done thank you

Well not necessarily the term "stuck", it's just that layman would like to simplify topics, so the two similar types of vehicles SUV and CUV are classified as one thing.

What I see is that the language has evolved. Crossovers are now frequently referred to as SUVs by the industry. It’s just like when coupe meant 2 doors, but now there are 4 door coupes, though they are pronouncing it “coopA”.

What about juke? Then nissan juke? What about puma Ford Nissan quaskai

Are SUVs safer in a crash since they are heavier? (Assuming an SUV and CUV have same safety features)

So crossover is more about how it’s manufactured than how it looks?

What's crazy is there's now a crossover segment that looks like a stretched out sedan

that's my nigga! finally some proper shit!

Question crossover are all Front wheel Drive❓❔❓

This video helps proliferate the misconception that body-on-frame SUVs ride harsher and have worse ride quality than crossovers. That simply isn't true. Body-on-frame trucks ride harsh like trucks because they are freaking trucks. Not because they are body on frame. Fundamentally, body-on-frame provides better noise insulation, and less road harshness. Once you drive a good full-size body-on-frame SUV, you'll see cross-overs and cars don't have the same level of ride quality and comfort.

Suv all the way. If not than might as well get a car

to me there are some that look like 4wds even though they may not be, and some that look like fat hatchbacks and for some reason people are not calling them hatchbacks - still not sure what an SUV has to do with sports...

Crossovers will take over the car and suv market!

SUV

I will prefer CUV. It Rocks 😅😅😅😅😊

SUV.

SUV to death!!! I prefer the Pajero 3rd gen over all SUVs

Always SUV. For speed a car with AWD n trubo.

Suv

rule number #1. you never do a drive by in a crossover!

i love Sedans only

I dont notice any differences betwene SUV and CROSS OVER, it's just a marketing not more.

Anyone to gift me this SUV. 😍 wow

Station wagons all the way

In short.. Crossovers are poseurs..😂😂

I still didnt learn what the diff is

SUV all the way. If I didn't want an SUV, I would just get a sedan. I don't need some weird in between like the CUV. Plus, most CUVs are UGLY.

Meh..... Sedans will always be superior in terms of performance. Nothing compares to a rally tuned Subaru Impreza.

Suv i hate cuv and sedean
