You can find the benefits of SUVs when you go on a long driving trip.
SUVs for bad road conditions of the road can be more smooth passage, the trunk can also put more necessities and supplies.
Here's an analysis of the disadvantages and advantages of SUVs:
1. Higher price
Usually, the price of SUVs is much higher for SUVs and sedans in the same class. For the same amount of money, you can buy a higher-class sedan. The Mercedes-Benz C260L sedan is priced at the beginning of 300,000, the Mercedes-Benz C-class SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC260 price is about 400,000, and a higher level Mercedes-Benz E260L, the price is also at the beginning of 400,000.
2. Higher fuel consumption
SUV's vehicle weight is heavier than a sedan, which will increase the friction with the ground and lead to higher fuel consumption. In the driving process, the windward area of the SUV will be much larger than the sedan, which will increase the wind resistance, which is also the reason for higher fuel consumption. Sedans have less ground clearance, lighter mass, and a streamlined body. This is both in the highway or urban areas, fuel consumption is on the low side.
3. Maneuverability is not as good as sedan
The sedan chassis is relatively low, so you can make faster lane changes in crowded urban areas, overtaking, and other operations. The SUV is relatively bulky, and in crowded road conditions, some of the operation is more troublesome. In the parking time, the block is too large car is not as flexible as a sedan.
4. Comfort is not as good as sedan
The chassis is also high in SUV comfort is not enough reason for, a long time to drive an SUV, then will feel very fatigued. Driving a sedan legs are more stretch, driving an SUV legs need to bend, and time will inevitably make the limbs fatigue.
The advantages of the SUV:
1. SUV pass performance is stronger
Road conditions are not good places, SUVs can be better accessed and do not have to worry about the chassis being scraped. On rainy days, there are sometimes puddles on the road, and SUV wading performance will play a role.
2. SUVs have more space
SUVs are much more spacious than sedans and have more trunk space, making it easier to travel long distances. The back row space is large, the family population is more will not look too crowded.
3. More open view
The SUV chassis is high, and the seat will be slightly higher than the sedan, so the SUV can be more clear about the front of the road and car conditions. In an emergency, you can make faster deceleration, avoiding the operation.
4. SUV safety is higher
SUVs are heavier, so if an accident occurs, the damage to the SUV will be greatly reduced.
