@strop I doubt that one would roll over if taken off road, I have yet to roll my crawler and have gone well into the wtf range.
With us we went from a Honda accord to a 13 pathfinder because we needed more capability, and didn’t think we needed to go with a full blown sub or full sized truck. It was fairly capable, but sacrificed too much for road manners to be good.
I may be slightly exaggerating, but also probably not, considering the ride in a Captiva feels like a stiff gust of wind would actually blow it over. That said, perhaps it wouldn’t actually roll over after all, seeing as Holden built rollover protection into their 2016 model, which I take to mean both selective braking on excessive lateral forces, and intervention with active dampers to counter trip events like sliding sideways into a kerb, but hell, I daresay that has virtually no relevance to the rock scramble you’re accustomed to.
Either way my earlier point is that Captivas have a disturbingly high center of gravity.
Hell those features are required on even new off road intended vehicles, which has caused problems in off road situations.
But yes crossovers and even proper off roaders are bought by too many people who will never come close to pushing it’s capabilities.
Crossovers make sense to me. Instead of looking at how they are worse than hatchbacks, you should see why they are better than other cars. People like a commanding driving position, so tall seating is one big plus. But MPVs and SUVs offer that too. Crossovers have the looks of SUVs, with the fuel eco and driving dynamics that are similar or better than MPVs, for the same price as both. And they work really well for families who need space on the back and the boot, and get the “cool” looks and ride height over a wagon.
To go with that, my yet un-named crossover will have the same suspension and engines to the Quasar, so we can have a direct comparison. I even made a RS325 version for lols. How about a 5.6s to 100 mom-mobile?
A wilder Znopresk Zest appear!
No…it can’t be…
The crossovers…have they claimed…the Zest?!!
Crossovers have far less room and less seats than MPVs so if you’re buying an MPV because you have 5 kids, that’s a moot point, and crossovers only came about because SUVs lost their S and their U, which was the primary reason we tend to object to the explosion of ‘SUVs’, so… it’s like spraying perfume on a pile of shit still 
I kinda like the nissan duke… I know I know but it just appeals to me…luckily I have better cars to chose from in Europe… Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglia will be calling my Garage in Aubagne home
Don’t worry! It is only based on the Zest platform. The “real” Zest is still a C class hatchback. 
@NormanVauxhall Phew! Had me worried there.
Pragata Arjuna Te - Car for every needs
33% of the crossovers presented here are some shade of blue 
Proud to be the only Explosion Orange one in the lineup so far.
Capable, comfortable, charismatic… Smooth C-ross.
Very polite 3.5 V6 is channelling 200hp through 6 speed auto to symmetric AWD for just $24650.
#Introducing the 2017 Baltazar Kilimanjaro
Using the same platform as the Quasar, only made more rugged and taller. Both share the same multilink suspension, same interior architecture, same engine families, with the same variants and the same power outputs, meaning there will be a RS version soon.
As a proper crossover, the Kilimanjaro has an adequate, NA, direct-injected, 2.0 engine, with 165 hp, propelling the front wheels only, via a 6-speed twin-clutch gearbox. There are only 5 seats on this entry-level model, with 7-seats and AWD available as optional extras.
Now that thing definitely looks sharp - and it’s finished in a metallic green, just like my entry! I did, however, equip my vehicle with AWD as standard, seeing that I want the customer to have some extra grip in inclement weather.
#2017 Miro DK3-X
Dear Mr. [Name], we may have the car for you…
Based upon the Hodan 455 Hatch/Wagon Frame, the DK3-X, from Hodan’s Younger Sub-brand, Miro, is the first Wagon-style Crossover, and Miro’s 2nd Crossover, the first being the DK2-X. This DK3-X is the base level AWD trim, with all the required bits for an active life style. The version we’ll send to you isn’t equiped with a roof rack, but can be added for a slightly extra cost. Averaging a total fuel economy of 12.33km/l, we hop this will be good enough for you. Being wagon based, you’ll have lots of extra room to carry your stuff, and the rear seats will fold 100% flat, and so will the passenger seat, if need be.
This package is being offered to you at the price of 20,000 (rounded), but extras can be added at your choice.
We hope to see you soon!
Hodan Denver, [Other Stuff]
@Leonardo9613 Nice, but I think it needs more Qs…
@UnderlovedGhost Not quite decided on the front, but I really like the layered tail lights.
