What’s the Difference Between New Hyundai SUVs and Crossovers?

The car-buying process can seem overwhelming with so many different options to choose from. Narrowing it down to a short-list can seem daunting, but if you’ve ever find yourself stuck between choosing a new Hyundai SUV or a crossover, you’ve come to the right place!   

What is a Crossover? 

A crossover is lighter than an SUV, and in terms of size, it generally falls between a sedan and an SUV. In fact, crossover models are built on the same platform used to build sedans, though they more closely resemble SUVs.

The best example of a Hyundai crossover is the 2021 Hyundai Tucson. With optional all-wheel drive, this Hyundai crossover is capable of earning 28 mpg on the highway and producing up to 181 horsepower under the hood. It’s the perfect combination of versatility, MPG, and performance.   

What is an SUV? 

SUVs are very popular in the market today. These vehicles provide several features that fit a variety of driving needs.

Hyundai SUVs are generally bigger than crossovers. They are built to haul and tow, and most of the time, they even feature three rows of seating. Growing families prefer SUVs over crossovers because of their ample space. Drivers who need to haul cargo and equipment also prefer SUVs as well.  

The perfect example of a Hyundai SUV is the 2021 Hyundai Palisade, which seats up to eight passengers. Its third-row seats are power-folding, and drivers are treated to an available 10.25-inch touchscreen display. It produces up to 291 horsepower and generates 26 mpg on the highway.
