The first crossover SUV in the country was introduced in 1996 by Subaru and Toyota. Ever since then, the trend has been catching up. Crossover, unlike SUVs, is not based on truck platforms. With a car platform as the base, these models are known for comfort and the ease of driving in towns and cities. Unlike their bulkier cousin, these are typically easier to maneuver. Here are the top 4 crossover SUVs and their features:
