What is a Crossover?

2019 Hyundai Tucson in Normal, IL

A crossover SUV, such as the 2019 Hyundai Kona and 2019 Hyundai Tucson, possesses a unibody construction very similar to that of a sedan. So when you hear someone say that “Hyundai crossover SUVs handle like cars”, you’ll know what they mean. Crossover SUVs possess car-like steering and handling, along with good fuel economy.

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe

Crossover SUVs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet a variety of needs. The 2019 Hyundai Kona is a great choice for city dwellers, with its excellent maneuverability and hatchback-influenced design. The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offers three-row seating and a powerful engine, making it a top choice for families.

What Is An SUV?

Full disclosure: when you visit our Hyundai dealership at 600 Greenbriar Drive in Normal, IL, you won’t find any traditional SUVs. By this, we mean a vehicle that possesses a truck-influenced, body-on-frame design, in which the main part of the vehicle is built separately and then attached to a steel underbody (frame).

An SUV doesn’t offer much design variety, as its main function is a roomy people-hauler with a powerful engine that provides the strong towing ability. Due to their truck-like construction, SUVs are also effective in off-road environments.

Choosing The Right Hyundai Crossover

Visit our local Hyundai dealer and you’ll have four terrific crossover SUVs to choose from: the 2019 Hyundai Kona, 2019 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, and 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL.
