It is funny though how so many crossovers/SUVs are trying to cram van like features in these days. It's like people want everything a van does, but they are too scared to actually buy the damn van.
The larger SUVs like the Pathfinder or Traverse are essentially A Toyota Sienna raised about 4" higher. A Mazda 5 is pretty much a Kia Rondo.

id agree that the smaller crossovers are lifted hatch backs. The larger ones with 3 rows on car chassis are mini vans without sliding doors
