The arrival of little ones into this glorious world means having to alter your transportation methods. You know the drill: Get rid of the sports car or flashy convertible for something with more doors, seats, and cupholders. And more often than not, that also means frumpy looks and mediocre driving dynamics. Not all hope is lost, however, because 2021 ushers in several crossovers and SUVs that could soften the blow of selling that roadster of yours, or at the very least help you miss your single-cab pickup a bit less.
Crossovers and SUVs (and for the purposes of brevity, we're using the latter term across the board here) typically get lambasted by enthusiasts for being awful, high-riding machines that have changed the automotive landscape and somehow introduced horrid driving dynamics to the masses. (You know, because all those heavy, large, American sedans, wagons and trucks of yore were universally so sharp and nimble.)

The truth is that SUVs and crossovers are cash-making machines for automakers, providing the funding necessary to build all the cool stuff enthusiasts love. But you don't need a sports car for driving fun anymore. 

In recent years, SUVs have even gotten substantially better at this whole "driving experience" thing--and not just by stuffing huge engines under the hood like Dodge did with the Durango Hellcat, but by grafting high-tech suspensions, brakes, and other tech and components from supercars into family-haulers.

The result? Powerful, agile, cool-looking, and fun SUVs. Yes, I just said fun. If you don't think so, just check out the list below.
