<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn\nthe past 4-5 years, a new breed of crossover hatchback cars or CUVs (crossover\nutility vehicle) has found favor among young buyers, both in new and second hand cars segment. It is essentially a\nhatchback with a touch of ruggedness and the feel of an SUV. Without further\nado, let\u2019s check out how both of these car types compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Some\nrare hatches may have higher clearances. The mentioned GC is most commonly\nfound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whichever car type you pick, whether in new or used condition, Tata Capital assists you by offering attractive interest rates on a second hand car loan or used car loan<\/a> in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Specifications <\/strong><\/td> Hatchback Cars<\/strong> <\/td> Crossover Hatchback Cars <\/strong><\/td><\/tr> \n Design\n <\/td> \n Whether\n entry-level or premium, hatchbacks feature an elongated front bay for the\n engine, a cabin with two seating rows and a small boot that is usually accessed\n by lifting the tailgate. It is a two-box design.\n <\/td> \n The\n basic elements remain the same as a crossover hatchback car. It mostly gets a\n body cladding all around, skid plates, rear spoiler, different color options\n and upholstery shades. It is aimed to look bold.\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Ground\n clearance\n <\/td> \n It\n gets the regular ground clearance that could be anywhere between 165mm to\n 180mm* (approximately).\n <\/td> \n In\n its bid to look like an SUV, the crossover hatches have a high center of\n gravity thanks to the raised ground clearance that matches with that of the\n SUVs. It could be anywhere between 180mm to 220mm.\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Engine\n <\/td> \n The\n hatchbacks can have an engine capacity of any volume depending on its nature.\n For instance, a car like Maruti Alto 800 has a 0.8-litre engine while a hot\n hatch like Volkswagen Polo GT TSI has a 1.2-litre petrol engine, which\n generates massive power of 103 bhp.\n <\/td> \n The\n crossover utility vehicles are usually offered with the same set of engines\n as their hatchback counterparts. At times, the motor may be tuned to offer\n better performance with increased power and torque figures. \n <\/td><\/tr> \n Mileage\n <\/td> \n Whether\n new or second hand cars, hatchbacks deliver\n better fuel efficiency than any other car-type in any variant, be it petrol,\n diesel, or CNG.\n <\/td> \n Usually,\n the CUVs offer similar fuel economy as the hatches they are based on.\n However, the retuning of the engine for more performance may slightly affect\n the mileage figures.\n <\/td><\/tr> \n Examples\n <\/td> \n Maruti\n WagonR, Hyundai Grand i10, Tata Tiago, Maruti Swift and Honda Jazz.\n <\/td> \n Toyota\n Etios Cross, Maruti Celerio X, Volkswagen Cross Polo, Hyundai i20 Active and\n Fiat Avventura.\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
