The phrase crossover is relatively new and often it can be a little confusing figuring out the differences between a crossover utility vehicle known as a CUV and the sport utility vehicle known as an SUV.

The crossover handles more like a car compared to the SUV which handles much more like a truck and it often has features similar to an auto such as better gas mileage and a sleeker design compared to the minivan.

So, what exactly is the bottom line with regards to choosing from a Kia crossover or the Kia minivan?
