What is a crossover car (or) crossover SUV?

There are three basic types of cars — hatchback, sedan, and SUV. While in an SUV, the body of the car and the frame (car's skeleton) are not fused together, in crossover cars, the body and its frame are a single piece of metal. It is also called "unibody". This enhances the stability of the car. 

Another major difference is that a crossover does not necessarily have a 4-wheel drive system. This means most crossover cars, like hatchbacks, send power only to the two front wheels.  Aesthetically, crossover cars look like a smaller version of large SUVs. You can do a quick online research to find the best crossover suvs in India.
