The Benefits of Owning an SUV
The SUV is no longer just the vehicle of choice for off-road enthusiasts. It’s now become a common sight in suburbia. Are SUV owners making the right choice? Aren’t these vehicles over-sized gas-guzzlers? We took a closer look to find out.
The Practical Choice
The sizeable frame offers a versatile and spacious interior, ideal for a family’s shopping trip or a singleton’s camping gear for an off-road adventure. Most SUVs can comfortably fit a maximum of seven occupants. Additional headroom and legroom offer a more comfortable ride for all occupants.
Towing capabilities and advanced technology, such as automatic braking systems and rearview cameras, add to its practical appeal. Compared to a hatchback, the SUV is able to bear more weight in transit, providing an ideal solution for frequent transporting of cargo. Roof racks are a common feature for SUVs, offering additional storage. The SUV’s versatility also offers towing capabilities and off-roading. Their strong framework also offers durability.
Fuel Efficiency
Contemporary SUVs are usually the more eco-friendly option, equipped with all-electric or hybrid powertrains. The hybrid or all-electric powertrains are specifically designed to conserve fuel consumption. An improvement in fuel efficiency tends to be a common trend with more recent SUV models. Better fuel economy makes SUVs a convenient choice for daily commuting in addition to off-road adventures. Potential buyers can still choose from a wide variety of SUVs that focus on performance levels.
Safety
With their wider frame and range of safety features, SUVs are designed to handle a collision more efficiently than lightweight vehicles, diminishing the probability of injury to the occupants. Driver-assisted technology such as blind spot detection, lane keep, and park assist systems add to the SUV’s safety levels. The SUV’s design also allows the driver to adopt an elevated position on the road, offering better all-around visibility for all occupants. Any road obstructions, such as potholes, can be avoided and finding a parking spot is an easier task. The SUV offers superior handling. The high ground clearance allows easy manoeuvring, especially through water, over rough terrain, and mounting up pavements. Heightened stability is ensured with the all-wheel drive option.
Affordability
The popularity of the SUV has given rise to many dealerships offering impressive incentives. Canadians can now benefit from low-interest rates when purchasing an SUV. Research has also shown that a dip in fuel prices often results in more consumers purchasing SUVs. Lower interest rates and gas prices prompt the purchase of more SUVs.
