Collaborative Post¦ Picture a normal family sedan. It’s 5-doors, not as long as a saloon but not as short as a hatchback. Now picture a 4×4 offroad car and mush them together. What you get is a car that’s known as a crossover. It’s not quite a hatchback although the shortened wheelbase is similar. It’s not a saloon or sedan but does have plenty of boot space. This new crossover type of car is also known as a hybrid because of this merger. It’s by far becoming the new family car because you have the best of both worlds.
