Fancy, Racy Crossovers !

Fancy, Racy Crossovers !

Our favorite multi-tasking cars are a mash up of two very different segments

BMW X6

Positioning: Street Coupe

Beemer’s first 4×4 coupe goes like a stabbed rat and handles like a car half its size.

Pros: The closest you’ll come to driving a life-sized Tonka toy.

Cons: Despite being as big as a racecourse, it only has four seats.

ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE S

Positioning: Super car / Family sedan

This is the bond car James would drive, should he decide to settle down and have kids.

Pros: Um, have you seen it?

Cons: Only midgets/kids can fit in the back seats.

MERCEDES-BENZ CLA

Positioning: Small car / Wannabe sedan

It’s a CLS that’s been shrunk in the wash. Looks and handles like a sports car while conveniently accommodating both girlfriend and mother in complete comfort. Who gets to ride shotgun is your call.

Pros: There’s an AMG option. Enough said.

Cons: Best viewed from the front – avoid if you’re an arse man.

MINI COUNTRYMAN

Positioning: Pocket rocket / 4×4

The mini’s already a favorite and now you can use it off-road, too. That it also looks a bit like Darth Vader makes it even more awesome.

Pros: Much cheaper than an evoque.

Cons: Who is ever going to test its actual off-road ability?

 

HONDA JAZZ

Positioning: Go-kart / Your dad’s car

An unlikely crossover, this car is tiny on the outside, gigantic on the inside. Could carry an entire cricket team. Maybe.

Pros: Drinks significantly less than a sedan.

Cons: Looks like something your grandma would drive.
