A Comparison Between Sedan And SUV

If you are thinking of purchasing a new car, you are likely wondering if you should buy an SUV or sedan. Both are great options and have their own pros and cons. Here’s how they compare.

The Styling

SUVs have, in fact, been around in one form or another for decades. However, off late, they have started to become more popular than sedans. The styling of an SUV is a lot more fun and sporty in comparison to sedans. This makes SUVs really stand out. Whereas sedans tend to be a little more conventional in their looks. If you are pretty conservative in your approach, you may be happier with a sedan. But if you want some more individuality, an SUV could be a better choice.

Performance

SUVs are designed to offer you a more sporty ride. Suspension is usually firm and these vehicles offer better off-road performance. If you are someone who enjoys off-roading, an SUV will be a better choice. Sedans offer good performance and better fuel efficiency but are best suited to city driving.

Load-Carrying

If you usually carry a lot of cargo in your vehicle, it is important to consider the load-carrying capacity of the car. SUVs offer more cargo space, and many models allow you to fold down the rear seats of the car to make more cargo area. Sedans are a practical choice, but the shape of the cargo space restricts the amount of load you can carry.

Popularity and Resale

You may be buying a new car, but at some point, you may have to sell it to purchase a new car, and that’s why it’s important to consider the resale value of the vehicle. Some SUVs are great to purchase, but over time, the value depreciates so much that the resale value gets negatively affected. Sedans, in comparison, tend to be a safer bet in terms of maintaining the resale value.

Regardless of whether you decide to go with a sedan or SUV, make sure to short-list a few models and test drive all of them.
