 Chevrolet Traverse is an eight seat mid-size crossover SUV that generally made its debut in 2008. It was introduced as a successor to both Chevrolet’s previous mid-size SUV hit models namely the Trail Blazer and the Uplander and has generated really impressive sales in a period of just 7 years, exceeding 600,421 units (in the US alone). The name, however, was originally used for a concept car that made its debut at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. But, the concept gave away, as during the same year Chevrolet introduced its latest model year of the Equinox. The design of the Traverse is inspired by the Chevrolet Malibu and the famous Sequel Concept and has a unique sheet of metal that is way different than many mid-sized crossovers introduced by the company.

The Mazda CX – 3 is yet another entry in the world of subcompact crossover SUVs. Soon after some major economic crisis in the automobile industry, most of the firms started building the mini SUVS. These cars resemble more to some giant hatchbacks. Some of the cars generated a good business, but some of them had mechanical and technical issues. Although it wasn’t the first time, the automobile industry jumped back to subcompact SUVs, but all that was missing was the practice. If you go around the corridors of North American and European automobile companies, you won’t really get much subcompact SUVs. But when we travel to Japan, every next company is building a mini crossover. Mazda CX – 3 is one of the successful subcompact SUV in the world today.
