Why SUV?, this is a compact hatchback |
◊ 2014-03-02 20:04 |
I would say hatchback, too. It has only got bigger ground clearance and some 4x4 mounting parts. But is´s just FWD. |
◊ 2014-03-02 20:13 |
Indeed. Same with the Peugeot 2008 and other similar cars, that will come out in the next years. |

It is about Crossover. |
◊ 2014-03-02 22:32 |
Its the SUV. Renault's hatcbacks are smaller. |

It´s not a SUV. It is a Crossover, but it should be listed as hatchback. It´s not available with 4WD. |

There are some FWD off-roaders also in that category (like the Citroën Méhari) But for the non-4WD crossovers it is less justified indeed... as they are not really off-roaders Though that it is a little big for hatchback category maybe. -- Last edit: 2014-03-03 18:26:58 |

So, should we make Crossover section? |
◊ 2014-03-03 22:33 |
No, because 80% of the recent SUVs should enter in that category and that will create useless discussions about each SUV. About Renault Captur concretely, it's clearly not an SUV. Hatchback is the most appropriated as we can't say it's a wagon nor a MPV. |

We could renamed the hatchback category to "hatchback and small crossovers", though that it is long. Or "hatchback/crossover", with the risk of getting a lot of SUVs in it. There is also the problem of wagons-crossovers (the Peugeot 2008 for example is rather considered as wagon than hatchback) -- Last edit: 2014-03-04 17:49:12 |

I would say the 2008 is also a hatchback/crossover. Same with the Opel Mokka and Ford EcoSport. |

These cars like Renault Captur are just high-clearance hatchbacks. But the higher clearance is not something that makes these cars really different from the normal hatchbacks. I don't see the point of changing/renaming the categories just for them. |
◊ 2014-03-04 18:57 |
High clearance made for off-road effect. Hatchbacks is something based on sedans. |

It is supposed to be a wagon/crossover, since it is derivated from the hatchback 208 to replace the 207SW. |
◊ 2014-03-05 17:34 |
Just a visual effect for the major part. You can do that with each hatchback. That doesn't really change the base/structure of the car, so no reason to change/adapt the categories. I know that manufacturers would at each price present these hatchbacks as SUVs, crossovers, off-roaders or something. Though, the most of the time they are based on other hatchbacks from the same model line. The higher clearance (or even the 4WD) doesn't makes these cars much different - the car body type is still hatchback. |
