TRENDSETTING: Is The Next Big Thing SMALL Coupe Crossovers?

As we have seen the invention of new cars like four-door coupes and slant-back sport-utility vehicles, there seems to be another new trend on the horizon: coupe crossovers.

Although the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque seems to be first representation out of the gate, it seems like these cars are going to be stylish, fun and relatively fuel efficient. Think: the Evoque gets a four-cylinder powerplant with 240 horsepower, is relatively lightweight and has some functionality.

We think it could be the next big thing for urban, young professional women.

Next on the list are new offerings from BMW and Porsche with the X4 and Cajun, respectively.

Taking this all into consideration, do you believe these vehicles are going to be the next "gotta have it?"


The luxury car market is on an ascending path and in the next five years several niche markets will open within the premium segment. In a constant chase for more revenue and market share, the large premium automakers are constantly brainstorming new ideas or at times, building on the success of current vehicles.

Both BMW and Porsche are well underway with the development of downsized crossover coupes that could hit market in the next couple years...

New trend? Im not surprised but someone is clearly out of touch. The X6, and ZDX have been for awhile now. ASAD has already said they plan on a similar vehicle, and other companies have as well how is this a new trend....

@bmw

You're mistaken.

We're talking about SMALL coupe crossovers, not mid to large size vehicles.

Well, it extends the popular trend of increasing uselessness.
