It's also because the entire industry is becoming more and more blurred by what used to formally be a line between regular passenger cars, crossovers, and trucks. Those lines, for the most part, no longer exist any more........the industry now produces (mostly) products that are a combination of all three, particularly for the U.S. market.
that would be more apt but honestly they should stop encouraging the trend of people getting larger and larger vehicles.

Dieselgate is possibly the best thing that happened to VW.....It would of been great if VW stayed away from their parts stock w/ this new platform & not added all that weight, really should have more regen, wasted space up front w/o a frunk. Weight is a range killer on a ev as well as the punch.....Now lets see when Vdub get the Quantum Scape batteries....Got to <3 the turning radius on this vehicle vs all the other ev's...

Crossovers are not SUVs IMO. SUVs need ladder frame construction. In my opinion a crossover is just a tall car..

Although DOT and EPA may not totally agree in their own classification-systems, in terms of vehicle-engineering, trucks, today, are built on ladder-frames, and crossovers as unibody vehicles. A few SUVs, today, are still built on the truck ladder frames, but most are crossovers. I agree that the term "SUV" is becoming obsolete, and probably should be dropped....it was coined in the days when SUVs were almost all truck-based. Basically, today, you have trucks, crossovers, and passenger-cars...with passenger-cars, of course, dwindling in number.
