  • Crossovers and hybrid vehicles are two completely separate things and it's important to know the difference to avoid mistaking one for the other. Knowing the difference will further your understanding of auto design and prevent future misunderstanding.

    Crossover Autos

    Crossover automobiles are vehicles built on the chassis of a car but have strong physical characteristics to an SUV, van or wagon. Crossovers are not made to get better gas mileage than normal cars.

    Hybrid Vehicles

    Hybrid vehicles are vehicles with two engines. One engine runs off gasoline, while the other runs off electricity. These two engines serve to complement each other, working together to drastically improve gas mileage.

    Benefits of Crossovers

    Crossovers usually have the stylish appearance of an SUV with the stability, control and handling of a car due to the chassis it is built on.

    Drawbacks of Crossovers

    Though crossovers look like SUVs, they usually aren't made to preform off road and do not give you the extra power of a traditional SUV.

    Benefits of Hybrid Cars

    Hybrid vehicles greatly improve gas mileage, which is good for the environment while cutting down on gasoline costs.

    Drawbacks of Hybrid Cars

    Hybrids are usually weak as far as power goes. They're usually slow to pick up speed and can feel like they're struggling for no reason.
