Our pick Skoda Yeti Outdoor 2.0 TDI SE L DSG 4x4 Don't be put off, though: most SUVs are very un-van-like when it comes to driving them. A traditional SUV, on the other hand, is more mechanically similar to a van, making it larger first off, but also stronger and better suited to harsh terrain and driving off-road. This means that despite its more rugged appearance, the Renault Captur is unlikely to be much better suited to off-roading than the standard Clio hatchback, bar its slightly higher ground clearance, which makes it less likely to scrape the floor when crossing rough ground. An example would be the Renault Captur, which is mechanically identical in many ways to a Renault Clio. In basic terms, a crossover will tend to be based upon a small hatchback, so all of the mechanical parts such as the engine and the suspension will be virtually identical. So what's the difference between an SUV and a crossover? Well, from the outside you probably wouldn't notice the difference - that comes when you look beneath that bulky bodywork. All you need to be aware of are potentially higher running costs fuel bills, the cost of tyres and routine servicing can be higher than, say, an estate car. The choice of used models is plentiful and prices can be surprisingly affordable, as there are now so many models available. They’re usefully taller than the average family hatchback too - making it easier to load and unload the child seats in most cases. They may not be as economical as some other family cars, or feel as precise to drive, but the best SUVs will smooth out Britain’s crumbling roads as if by magic.
