Cross-fusers
Peugeot 3008
In essence, this is a jacked-up Peugeot 308
with more interior space on offer. Despite the SUV-like styling,
four-wheel drive is not available as an option. Should reach Singapore
by end of the year.
Volkswagen Cross-Golf
Why would anyone buy
this over a Volkswagen Tiguan?
Despite the butchy off-road body kit, this front-wheel
drive only “SUV” will be a big joke if taken into wild terrains.
Kia Soul
Korea’s answer to Mini and Fiat 500,
a supermini that think that it is a Range Rover. This will be popular
among Suzuki SX-4 fans when it arrives in Singapore in September.

Cross-fusers
not avaliable in SG |
Seat Altea Freetrack
Those huge black bumpers on Altea, an MPV originally, looks like
Oprah trying to fit into a Paris Hilton slut dress.
Dodge Caliber
Conceived before the Qashqai, the
Dodge Caliber was an attempt by Chrysler to crack new markets like,
Australia.

Skoda Octavia Scout
Mechanically
the same as the Seat Altea Freetrack (left), but miles better in
execution. A poor man’s Audi Allroad?
Toyota Urban Cruiser
Toyota is trying to bank in on the Land Cruiser branding,
but honestly, can you get over the name, Urban Cruiser?

Mother of all Cross-fusers:
VW Golf Country
Only 6,697 examples were built by Volkswagen. Bascially, this is a jacked up Volkswagen Golf Mark II with permanent four-wheel drive. Perhaps it would have done better if more space or style was on the plate. A futuristic concept in a plain Jane outfit.
