There is a reason behind every car purchase. Some people buy a car for its looks while some buy it for its mileage. It is a well-known fact that most people buy compact SUVs for their looks, over what’s under the hood. This reason might turn the tables in the long run and make the decision look like a wrong one.

In this space let’s discuss why you should buy a compact SUV and when you should think about a sedan.

Why should you buy a compact SUV?

• Get a compact SUV if you one of those who like rugged looking cars over the stylish and elegant ones. An SUV will also give you a sporty feel while offering luxury and comfort as well.
• More ground clearance is another reason why you should buy a compact SUV. Most compact SUVs have a ground clearance of 190 mm and above. This protects the vehicle from underside scraping, which is a big problem with a sedan.

Why should you buy a sedan?

• You should buy a sedan for better on-road capabilities. Sedans have a low ground clearance; hence passengers sit very close to the ground. Therefore there’s less body roll and more comfort. This is true especially when you are driving on hilly terrains.
• Sedans give better performance and mileage because of their light body weights. So, you should think about buying a sedan rather than a compact SUV if fuel economy is important to you.
• Sedans come in a wide range of designs and choices whereas compact SUVs are very limited in number. You may consider opting for a sedan if you like to have some variety.

Compact SUVs are great but so are sedans. Make sure you research thoroughly, weigh the pro and cons and then make a buying decision based on your requirements.
