Crossover or SUV? What’s the Difference?

Aug 23, 2018

Regardless of your driving personality, you know that safety, dependability, and performance are crucial elements when selecting a vehicle. If you are unsure as to whether or not you want an SUV or a crossover, it is best to learn a bit about the differences between the two. The staff at our Ford dealership near Janesville, WI is happy to go over what makes each option stand out and introduce you to a few options. You can count on our team at Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson to help with your buying or leasing needs.

What Is a Crossover?

Crossovers are an excellent choice for those who wants a larger vehicle that also handles like a car. The crossover is crafted with the same unibody platform used in a car; a unibody construction means that the frame and body are one singular unit. Characteristics of a crossover include all-wheel drive, optimal fuel efficiency, five-passenger seating.

What Is an SUV?

Larger than a crossover, an SUV is constructed in the same manner as a truck, as in it uses a body-on-frame platform. Unlike a crossover, this construction is comprised of two separate pieces—the body and frame—that are later joined together. An SUV is a great option for someone who may take on tough terrain often, as well as tow and haul regularly.

Do you want to see if one of these vehicles is best suited for your needs? Come by our Ford dealership and check out a crossover like the Ford Escape or an SUV, such as the Ford Expedition. You will find Griffin Ford Fort Atkinson located at 1642 Janesville Avenue, or you can give us a call at (877) 855-6959 for more information.
