Introduction
So you want a high-up driving position and high safety levels. Perhaps you want a roomy back seat for the kids or baby but also want room for them to grow.

Regardless of why you want a Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV), or cute-ute, gas mileage probably figures pretty highly on your list of a CUV's benefits.
