What is a "crossover"?

A crossover is a type of car that blends features of a larger vehicle and a regular car. It usually has a higher height and more room inside, similar to larger vehicles, but it is smaller and easier to drive, like a regular car. Crossovers are popular for their flexibility, offering enough space for passengers and cargo while being more fuel-efficient and easier to park than larger vehicles. They are ideal for people who want a car that can handle different roads but still be practical for daily use.
