When buying a new vehicle, there is always a wide variety of preferences to consider and options to consider, which can make the process daunting. Each type of vehicle available on the market has its advantages and disadvantages depending on your driving needs; do you drive a large family around regularly? Commute to work or go on long highway trips? Any pets in the house? Bulky sports equipment to carry? The factors you must consider before leaving the house to visit a dealership are too many to count, and if you jump into the process without a plan, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Two of the most popular choices of car are SUVs and sedans: while the popularity of SUVs has massively increased in recent years, to the point where many Americans will consider an SUV before any other type of vehicle when shopping for a new car, sedans have not been consigned to the dustbin of automotive history just yet, and there are plenty of sedans on the market that will function as a perfectly respectable daily driver even for a growing family.
If you’re currently shopping for a car and are unsure whether to go for a sedan or an SUV, let’s take a look at some of the key differences between them and the pros and cons of each as a guide to help you navigate the SUV vs. sedan comparison.
