I don't hate crossovers because they are wagons with a slight lift - which is fine by me. But if you don't like wagons it would make sense that you wouldn't like crossovers.
The Bolt EV handles the majority of our driving - the 2nd vehicle is for getting to trailheads - down gravel roads in the summer and snowy roads in the winter. The extra ground clearance is nice as is AWD without much of a mpg penalty. Can you take 2wd cars down forest roads - sure I've done it plenty of times - but the extra ground clearance is nice to speed things up.
Something like that now discontinued VW Alltrack would be perfect - extra ground clearance without the extra roof height. Perfect at least if it wasn't a VW and didn't get horrible fuel economy. Subarus are the popular choice here for that role but - again - horrible fuel economy.
