Crossovers and SUVs have been gaining in popularity over the past decades, and today, around half of Cartelligent clients opt for an SUV.
SUVs and crossovers offer plenty of space for kids, dogs, and Costco runs; and most have a range of safety and technology features to keep all of the above safe (and entertained).
