Car
From muscle cars to classic sedans, cars have ruled the automotive world since their invention a century ago. Cars can be anything from a four-door to a two-door coupe or even a hatchback. They’re often the most affordable type of vehicle, and on top of that, they typically get the best mileage because of their size. Modern cars can come in many forms, including hybrid, fully electric, all-wheel drive, and more. Many cars are great for the Bay Area due to their compact size, narrow turn radius, and high MPG, all of which come in handy when driving through the hills or taking on your long commute.
Examples of cars include the Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, and the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.
Crossover
Although crossover and SUV are often used interchangeably, they’re actually very different types of vehicles. While an SUV is built like a truck with a separate frame and body, a crossover is built more like a car with a unibody construction. It does have many of the benefits of an SUV – size, power, performance – but in a much smaller package. They’ll often offer more off-road capability, including ground clearance, than your standard car. Crossovers are often longer, wider, and offer more passenger and cargo space than a car. They’re also lighter and more fuel efficient than an SUV, offering many drivers the best of both worlds.
Some examples of crossovers include the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Hyundai Tuscon, and Kia Telluride.
