The [open-top SUV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-land-cruiser-rox-concept) is the first of its kind, offering consumers the best of both distinct auto styles in one streamlined design. Convertibles are luxe and often sought-after autos, but they tend to be compact and tight on space since they usually only accommodate two passengers. The T-Cross offers much more space and width with the body of an SUV car simply with the car ceiling removed. Instead, the auto opts for a [collapsible roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-spider) to give riders an open air driving experience perfect for warm and sunny weather conditions. Other features include a turbocharged engine, raised seats for an ideal drive viewing experience and a modern cockpit design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Open-top Suvs:** Auto manufacturers can explore opportunities to create more open-top SUV models that offer luxury and space. - **Cross-hybrid Design:** There is an opportunity for the auto industry to develop more cross-hybrid designs that combine the features of two or more popular car types. - **Streamlined Designs:** Auto manufacturers can create more streamlined designs that offer multiple features in one vehicle to appeal to consumers seeking convenience and luxury. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to develop more innovative car designs that cater to consumers' needs for luxury and practicality. - **Convertible Cars:** The convertible car industry can benefit from exploring more spacious car designs that cater to consumers' demands for luxury and space. - **Luxury Suvs:** The luxury SUV industry can benefit from developing more open-top SUV models that offer consumers both luxury and convenience in one vehicle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Well-Appointed Pop-Top Motorhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourer-cuv.md) - [Weekend Warrior Compact SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citroen-c3-aircross.md) - [Off-Road Open-Air Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gclass-cabriolet.md) - [Shapeshifting Interior Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-gentravel-concept.md) - [Beach-Ready Surfing Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-california-surf.md) - [Tent-Topped Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-enyaq-iv-80-festeval.md) - [Panoramic Roof Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacecamper-multivan-classic.md) - [Landscape-Inspired Off-Road SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-atlas-peak-edition.md) - [Retro-Styled Electric Convertibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-convertible.md)
