@vic1212 Look at it this way: which platform is the CUV built on?
In the case of the Escape, it’s the Focus — a clear-cut C-segment car. Therefore, the Escape is a compact CUV.
The Santa-Fe is built on the Sonata architecture. The “real” Santa-Fe is the 3-row variant that’s not out just yet. The Santa-Fe sport currently on sale is the SWB version. So this makes the LWB Santa-Fe clearly a midsize crossover (as is the Highlander), while the SWD is an in-between size — just how the Equinox/Terrain are between segments.
The Edge doesn’t really follow this, as it’s built on a collection of architectures. The next-gen will use the new Fusion/Mondeo architecture — thereby making it a thoroughbred midsizer.
Make sense?
