Your Search for the Best SUV or Crossover Ends Here
What's so great about an SUV that has everybody looking for one? It's true that the popularity of SUVs and crossovers has surged in recent years, quickly replacing the minivan as the family hauler of choice among new parents in the Richmond area. We think the answer is all in the name: Sport Utility Vehicle.
Sporty Handling Meets Cargo & Passenger Utility
Compared with more domesticated vehicles, SUVs can offer nimble, fun-to-drive dynamics -- especially car-based crossovers. Four-wheel drive is available on many models, turning rugged winter and backcountry trips into a Sunday stroll. All-wheel drive is standard on all Subaru SUVs and crossovers.
No other vehicle segment holds a candle to the SUV in terms of passenger and cargo flexibility. Even the compact Nissan Rogue offers an optional third row for seating up to seven. Subcompact crossovers, like the Mazda CX-3, combine avant-garde style with roomier interiors than you would expect on a similarly-sized sedan. Larger models, like the midsize Mitsubishi Outlander and Kia Sorento, offer even more space for passengers and cargo, and many include features specifically targeted for families with children. Full-size SUV models like the Land Rover Range Rover are a comfortable alternative to a light-duty pickup truck in terms of towing and off-road capability.
