Crossover for 600 thousand rubles - new and used

By definition, a crossover is a class of vehicle that combines the qualities of an SUV, station wagon and minivan. In terms of its cross-country ability, it cannot be compared with jeeps, but it surpasses both station wagons and minivans. In a word, the crossover is an ideal choice for driving both in the city and on light off-road.

The crossover differs from city cars in increased ground clearance and the presence of all-wheel drive. It is worth noting that all-wheel drive is not the prerogative of all crossovers; over time, a class of crossovers with plug-in rear-wheel drive, or single-axle drive, appeared. This type of crossover is often called SUV.
