As the title states, can someone explain this to me?
Here's how I see it:
Cons:
Leg room and trunk space really aren't better than most full size cars (compare the lexus RX to the ES for example, or X6 to 535i). Actually rear leg room is frequently worse in the crossover
Price is normally higher than their sedan counterparts
The higher roof line is really the only difference I see, and that has no practical benefit
Pros:
AWD is the norm, not always the case with full size cars
You can stack things in the rear hatch..but even then the depth of the trunk of a full size car normally more than makes up for that
??????
I looked at them for fun when the wife was in the market last year and never understood why they sell so well
