An interesting crossover model can be called 2016 Nissan Rogue... As for the crossover class, the car is very economical 9 l / 100 km in the urban cycle and 7.1 liters outside the city, given that the cabin is roomy, about 1112 liters.

We recently talked about a new 2016 Toyota RAV4, starting price starts at $ 24,350. The new RAV4 has received updates both front and rear. It is the most expensive crossover hovering on this TOP10 buy list. But perfectly balanced both outside and inside, it is worth the money that is asked for it.

Rounding out our list 2016 Jeep Compass, not the most successful crossover. The cost of the basic configuration is estimated at $ 19,595. From the history of this car, you can remember that it appeared when Daimler controlled Chrysler and its industry. The Jeep's interior leaves a lot to be desired, a lot of cheap plastic.
Previous crossover models were equipped with a CVT automatic transmission, in 2016 models a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission is installed, which is much slower than on previous models.
In terms of fuel economy, the crossover is not at all profitable, in the city the consumption is about 14 l / 100 km, and outside the city 10 l. Over the past years, these parameters have hardly changed in comparison with how other manufacturers are progressing. Rumor has it that the next Jeep Compass model will be improved and all the disadvantages removed.
As a conclusion, I would like to say that the induced crossovers are only statistical data, yet the last decision and choice remains with the buyer.
