The very first SUVs were essentially just boxes on wheels made for hauling people and cargo around. But the growth of the crossover and SUV market has allowed automakers to branch out and get creative. Utility vehicles now come in all shapes and sizes, giving consumers a wide variety of choices ranging from mild and vanilla to wild and funky. Here are 16 crossovers and SUVs that feature convention-defying styling. Volvo鈥檚 smallest crossover is also its most heavily stylized, with cool design accents like small headlight clusters, a clamshell hood, and kinked rear quarter windows that give the illusion of a massive C-pillar. The XC40 injects a nice dose of youthfulness with its avant-garde exterior and it comes in colors that draw eyes to it the moment it drives by. Check the box for the optional black or white contrast roof on the R-Design and Momentum trims, respectively, for maximum curb appeal. With a coupe-like silhouette on a high-riding SUV body, the X6 is the very definition of polarizing.
In 1994 Rover Group plc, including Land Rover, was acquired by BMW. In 2000, Rover Group was broken up by BMW and Land Rover was sold to Ford Motor Company, becoming part of its Premier Automotive Group. In 2006 Ford also purchased the Rover brand from BMW for around 拢6 million. On 1 January 2008, Ford formally declared that Tata was the preferred bidder. On 18 January 2008, Tata Motors, a part of the Tata Group, established Jaguar Land Rover Limited as a British-registered and wholly owned subsidiary. The new company was to be used as a holding company for the acquisition of the two businesses from Ford - Jaguar Cars Limited and Land Rover. That acquisition was completed on 2 June 2008 at a cost of 拢1.7 billion. Included in the deal to buy Land Rover and Jaguar Cars were the rights to three other British brands: the Daimler marque, as well as two dormant brands Lanchester and Rover.

Other reasons can be company mergers, regulatory changes, or simply the whim of executives. No matter what the reason, some discontinued models offer much more value. But to find a deal you have to do a bit of homework. Except for rare, exotic vehicles, every car loses value over time. So how do you know if the Mercury Milan, which was discontinued in 2011, is a good deal? You do a sibling comparison. Mercury, a Ford subsidiary, closed down in 2011. Meanwhile, the Ford Fusion continues to be available. The Fusion is very similar to the Milan in equipment and trim. This makes for a viable comparison.
In this company, it stands out more than the Kia, although it lacks the overall sportiness of the Leon. The boomerang-shaped headlights and chrome chevrons built into the grille give it a sleek nose, and we also like the neat beetle-back rear hatch. The same sense of style has been applied to the cabin, with some distinctive features, including the unusual fixed-hub steering wheel and built-in scented air freshener. However, these can鈥檛 hide the fact that quality is poor. There are numerous different plastics used, none of which is particularly good, while the switchgear feels cheap. The digital speedo is an attempt to give everything a more premium edge, but it鈥檚 not enough. While it鈥檚 obvious Citroen has focused on style, it does seem to have come at the expense of build quality. There are some good points, however. The broad seats are comfortable and visibility is excellent, thanks to the thin A-pillars and large glass area.
