- The most "female" crossovers
A crossover is not just a car, it is, if you like, a lifestyle. If we talk about crossovers that are suitable for women and girls, it should be noted that not a single manufacturer produces cars strictly aimed specifically at the female segment of buyers.
At the same time, many companies produce cars that are able to satisfy even the most demanding female taste.
What are the criteria by which a woman chooses a car
When it comes to buying a crossover for a woman, it should be understood that the selection criteria will be special - not the same as for a man. In addition to technical qualities and high reliability, women will certainly take an interest in the presence of the following features of the car:
- the appearance of the car should not be brutal, beautiful;
- the presence of an automatic box;
- comfortable driver's seat;
- convenient possibility to transport children;
- "Light" steering wheel that will respond to a minimum of effort;
- the presence of a navigation system;
- availability of a security system;
- the presence of an electronic system to facilitate the parking process;
- wide view for the driver.
A modern crossover is quite capable of meeting all of these requirements. In urban conditions, long sedans, large SUVs or city hatchbacks are clearly inferior to compact high-quality SUVs.
Moreover, the cost of such a car does not have to be very high. For quite acceptable funds, it is quite possible to find a car that fully satisfies the entire list of "female" requirements.
Thus, the list of the best "female" crossovers includes both expensive models and quite budget options.
The most "female" crossovers
1. Nissan Juke
This car rightfully bears the title of a modern bestseller. According to statistics, it is women who buy it most willingly, although this crossover cannot be called exclusively female - you can find a lot of men driving it on our roads.
Juke surprisingly combines external compactness and quite pleasant internal volume. The engine of the model is economical, but powerful, and the control is so easy that it will satisfy the requirements of the most demanding ladies.
The safety and reliability of the car are also not satisfactory. The cost of Nissan Juke is relatively low - it is a crossover from the middle price segment.
The Juke's distinguishing feature is its exterior design. It is original, and some take it extremely skeptically, while others argue that the model is simply superb in terms of design. But how to perceive this design is a matter of taste.
2. Mitsubishi ASX
The crossover from Mitsubishi in terms of design is completely made in the style of other cars of the concern. The car is distinguished by a spacious comfortable trunk, with which there will be no problems with large purchases.
Management of Mitsubishi ASX is very comfortable, it also does not cause any complaints in terms of safety level.
It is noted that the appearance of this crossover evokes extremely positive emotions among the female audience - it does not look brutal or bulky, but at the same time it is not overly miniature. In a word, comfortable, elegant and reliable. What more could you want?
3. Hyundai ix 35
An interesting fact that characterizes this model is that it is sold almost on a par with Hyundai's "masculine" variants such as the Tuscon or Santa Fe.
Design engineers have repeatedly noted in interviews with journalists of automotive publications that they in no way set themselves the goal of creating a "female" SUV, but it turned out that the ix35 fell in love with the weak half of humanity.
However, their choice is quite justified, if we take into account the excellent interior, comfortable driving position, excellent visibility, economical engine.
4. Peugeout 3008
A truly French company, Peugeuot simply could not help but create a truly "female" crossover. Model 3008 is small in size and does not pretend to be a racing sports car. There is no excessive swiftness in it, but there is a certain elegance and reliability.
Perhaps the only drawback of the 3008 is the relatively small size.
Considering this fact, the engineers of the French concern offered the ladies another model - 4008, with all the advantages of its smaller "brother" retained, it is larger and has a larger trunk.
Such a trunk can easily fit not only purchases, but also a baby stroller, so if the 3008 model is more suitable for single girls, the 4008 model is more likely the choice of a lady with children.
5. Honda CR V
This model is included in the rating of "female" cars rather out of habit - the designers with this version of the model, to put it mildly, "bent" in size, and this car is more suitable for the male part of motorists.
On the other hand, not all women focus their attention exclusively on small crossovers - there is a fairly wide segment of customers who prefer oversized SUVs with a spacious, voluminous trunk, and a reliable and powerful engine.
According to the results of the conducted polls, quite a lot of women choose this large crossover primarily because they perceive it as safe and comfortable.
Such a car will not "get lost" next to large SUVs and sedans, and they will not "put pressure" on it with their dimensions.
6. Mazda CX 3
They say that Mazda has a secret that allows the concern to create cars that appeal to both male and female motorists.
The fifth, sixth and seventh models are large and attract men. But the CX 3 is a small modern car with an automatic transmission and a line of powerful, yet economical engines, which is more suitable for women.
The car does not differ in large dimensions, but it is equipped with all modern service devices, convenient and practical.
The appearance of the CX 3, like the Juke, is somewhat unusual from the point of view of modern motorists and evokes both sympathy and rejection. But if the appearance does not bother, but on the contrary, attracts - this is an excellent choice for a woman. However, if the customer prefers larger models, Mazda CX 5 is at her service.
7. Nissan Qashqai
A relatively inexpensive version of a truly "female" crossover. Its price is quite democratic, so it will not become an obstacle for that lady. It will be impressed by the soft contours of the exterior, spaciousness, excellent interior, a lot of convenient electronics and security systems.
Nissan has traditionally made cars that women love. But the Qashqai model is rightfully considered one of the best "female" models of the company.
8. BMW X3
BMW is a manufacturer of expensive equipment. But if finances allow, it is quite possible to choose the X3 model: dynamic, stylish, with a modern design solution.
This crossover has a high level of practicality. The pragmatic Germans have put a lot of effort into ensuring that the car has a very well-planned interior space.
Model X3 is not just a "female" crossover, it is also a status car. Such a car is noticeable on the road, and other drivers treat it with a certain reverence. So the woman will be comfortable driving the X3. In addition, all the advantages that are present in the list of criteria are present in this car.
The only thing that can make a customer think about it is the high cost of the car - in general, BMW models require a lot of money for maintenance and possible repairs.
9. Ford Kuga
Dynamic and comfortable, Ford deserves the attention of the female consumer segment. This SUV is eagerly bought by both men and women.
The excellent build quality of Ford is not the last argument for those who decide to opt for this model.
A voluminous trunk, interior features of the cabin, the presence of electronic parking assistants, security systems make Ford Kuga a pleasant choice for both young girls and adults, women with children.
The quality-price ratio will delight those who cannot afford the excessively high cost of a BMW.
10. Toyota RAV 4
Like the previous models included in the rating, this car is readily purchased by both women and men. True, one can hear complaints that the Toyota RAV 4 turned out to be too large for the designers, but these claims seem far-fetched.
A large roomy trunk and a comfortable interior are combined with an excellent exterior design, which hides its large dimensions - the car looks relatively small and even elegant.
Conclusion
No matter how hard they try to assert that the concept of "female crossover" is far-fetched, the ladies are guided by their own set of criteria for choosing a car. And the above models satisfy exactly the female requirements.
A woman needs reliability, convenience, a sense of security. All the cars listed fully satisfy these requirements. Modern car manufacturers pay great attention to the tastes of their car consumers. Perhaps, soon on the roads there will be new "purely female" crossovers targeted at the weak half of humanity.
