It’s simple to compare SUV’s (Sports Utility Vehicles) and Sedans. They tend to meet different needs altogether. Generally, people buy at least one sedan before buying a SUV.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SEDAN:

A sedan has a low step-in height. For some, it’s naturally more comfortable.

Sedans give you better gas mileage.

They are easier to handle on city roads.

They are easier to park, which can be especially helpful if you spend much time in the more crowded city streets and parking garages.

A sedan’s low height ensures it can fit into most garages and you can travel without giving it a second thought.

Sedans have low center of gravity. There is less roll-over risk, adding to your sense of security and safety.

Some are compact and may give you a driving edge over a large SUV.

The price of the best sedan equals that of a base SUV

WHERE SUV SCORES:

An SUV generally has a larger capacity, making it great for larger families and other groups.

SUV’s also tend to have more storage space, making it a nice choice for individuals needing to haul equipment or other larger items. Also SUV’s are ideal for vacations and other road travel.

They also have a larger towing capacity.

You tend to have better visibility while driving a SUV.

Sedans respect SUVs on roads because of their size and power.

Some people think of SUV’s as having a more relaxed and playful feel than that of the more traditional sedan.
