Built on a passenger car platform but with the raised stance of an SUV, crossovers split the difference between practicality and running costs. Most sit in the B- or C-segment and deliver car-like handling with taller seating. We’ve tested around 30 crossovers, including the Nissan Qashqai, Toyota C-HR, Kia Niro, and the electric Renault Mégane E-Tech. A natural step up for buyers who want SUV looks without the size.
