I know what you mean. The one on this list that seems to not fit is the Magnum. I know it's a truck in the EPA's eyes, but when I think crossover, I always associate a somewhat raised stance, whether it's from the suspension or just from a raised roof. The Magnum is squashed on both counts.

But I don't think there are any hard and fast rules on this, so that's just OGO (one guy's opinion).
