مصطلح جديد في عالم السيارات ويمكن استخدامه كما هو
This is a popular term used in automotive marketing materials and is understandable to the lay audience.
The "crossover" vehicle is one of the hottest crazes sweeping the rapidly changing world of automobiles. But most people don't know what they are or what they're crossing over from or to. They take the best of both worlds and appeal to a cross-section of buyers who want the benefits of both cars and SUVs.
There's no strict definition of crossover vehicles, say industry experts. Some don't even like to use the term at all. These are vehicles that are usually derived from passenger cars, not trucks." These vehicles differ from conventional sport utilities in that they have fully independent suspension, giving them better handling and steadiness on the roads. They're perfect for people who don't need to carry heavy cargo or drive over rough terrain, since they're certainly not designed for off-road driving.
Not exactly a car, Freestyle is a car-based “crossover.” Crossover? Think of it as the legitimate love child of a family sedan and an SUV. Toyota is credited with inventing the category by dropping a wagon-like body on its front-drive Camry platform to create the Lexus RX 300, which was superceded for 2004 by the larger RX 330. Most others have followed.
CrossoverVehicle–Small SUV-style vehicle built on a car chassis.
Crossover SUV - A vehicle which is normally front-wheel drive, but has a 4-wheel drive option, or a all-wheel drive option. The engine is transversely mounted. On a crossover SUV, the engine's power is transferred through the transaxle to the power transfer unit and the front wheels. When engaged, the transfer unit transfers power to the rear axle.

متعددة التصنيف!!


Explanation:
I found it translated as متعددة التصنيف, although I can not completely grasp this translation.
والتعبير مقتبس من المجلة الآتية المتخصصة في السيارات
http://www.motiontrends.com/mtnet/2002/m03/features/vw/magel...
Hope it helps!
وكما يقال في كتب الترجمة الحلمنتيشية، الخطأ الشائع صواب رائع
وأننا يجب أن تستسلم في نهاية المطاف للتعبير الذي يضعه المتخصصون في المجال سواء اتفقنا معه او اختلفنا

Notice that I neither support or object to that translation. I'm completely neutral to it.
