SUVs and sedans; both are incredibly popular across the country. But which one is a better fit when it comes to satisfying all your requirements? Read to find out as we compare the two choices.
SUV: Advantages
Space – Ample amount of space is one of the most obvious advantages of an SUV. That means more room for extra passengers and cargo. Even compact SUV models offer impressive cargo capacity
Capability – Compared to sedans, SUVs are more capable. Among modern lineups, not many sedans offer an all-wheel drive. If you drive a lot during severe weather, an SUV may be better equipped to handle dangerous conditions.
Visibility – Driving behind an SUV wheel gives you a higher driving position. That means greater visibility. The larger surrounding windows and back windshield further enhance the driving experience.
Sedans: Advantages
Safety – Compared to SUVs, Sedans are a safer option. Sedans offer the safety features of closed trunks, which are limited or missing in most SUVs. Storing your belongings is safer in a sedan trunk than in the back of an SUV’s cargo due to both visibility and security.
Fuel economy – The sedan still reigns supreme when it comes to fuel economy. Most sedans come with four cylinders. These are more efficient compared to the V-6 or V-8 in an SUV. Also, some of the more powerful sedans with V-6 engines, because of the smaller size of vehicles they have to power, are more fuel-efficient on average.
Drivability – Unlike SUVs, sedans aren’t top-heavy. This makes them easier to drive. There are less chances of rollover while maneuvering through sharp corners and parking is much easier too.
Budget – Sedans are more affordable. If you don’t mind spending more, then you can opt for a higher trim level sedan with additional features.
With these factors in mind, we hope you’ll be able to decide which one is a better fit for you.
