Do you know what the difference between a crossover SUV and a normal SUV is? A crossover SUV is set upon a car platform for better handling and fuel economy, while still having the look, taller interior, higher clearance, and all-wheel drive capacity of an SUV. First released as a 2005 model, the Equinox is Chevy’s version of the Crossover.
