6 Passenger Crossover Vehicles

Finding a 6 passenger crossover vehicle is not easy because there are not very many true crossover vehicles that can seat 6.  The term crossover vehicle is sometimes a bit misused in terms of what SUV fits in the crossover segment.  They’re are some SUVs that are obviously not in the crossover area and then there are some large SUVs that the manufactures put in the crossover market.  A true crossover vehicle usually only has enough room for 5 passengers and is basically a car with a slightly larger body, higher seat position and more cargo room in the back.  Also, a 6 passenger crossover vehicle usually has enough room for 7 passengers.

Here is some of our picks of the top 6 passenger crossover vehicles for 2011.
