Americans love hatchbacks when they are called crossovers, SUVs, or minivans. They just don't like the small ones.
- mywittyname 10y agoThey like the small ones too, the "compact CUV" is one of the fastest growing auto segments in the USA. Think, Honda HR-V, Toyota CH-R, Jeep Renegade, Chevy Trax, and Nissan Juke; the market is expanding soon to include entries from Mazda and Ford. Americans love the high seating position. I imagine Europeans would too, if they had the option to buy one.
- twblalock 10y agoMany similar vehicles are available in Europe. They just don't like them as much as Americans do.
- mywittyname 10y agoWhich isn't really true. The CUV segment is growing for many manufactures in Europe. The best selling Honda in Europe: CR-V. Toyota's RAV4 sells even better than the CR-V. Audi and BMW are adding even more CUVs in Europe after the success of the Q3 and X1 respectively. So Europe's not just getting these because of their success in the USA, it's because the segment is strong and growing in Europe too. (all stats from http://carsalesbase.com http://carsalesbase.com)
