4 Reasons Why SUVs Are Becoming More Popular Nowadays

SUV is a multi-purpose sports car that stands for Sport Utility Vehicle with a square muscular design, a truck-like body structure and high ground clearance, powerful engine to overcome many terrains

1. High chassis design

One of the strong advantages of the SUV is the high ground clearance that makes the driver's view more open. This feature helps drivers to observe easily obstacles on the road or in the parking lot.
In addition, it is easier to get in and off an SUV cause drivers and passengers do not need to bend over like in a sedan.

 

2. Outstanding off-road ability

 

To optimize the ability to operate, most SUVs are equipped with a 4-wheel drive system to help them make the best use of engine power on difficult terrains. 
SUV is one of the best choices for those who prefer to go on long-distance travel and difficult terrains.

3. Spacious interior compartment

SUVs have a large interior and storage compartment. Imagine you want to travel with your family, a sedan cannot carry more than 5 people and is too small to carry more than 2 suitcases. However, an SUV can carry up to 7 people and has a spacious luggage compartment so you can carry a lot of luggage.
You can even fully fold the backseat and carry large-sized items carefree. Hence, many parents choose SUV as a means of transportation for their whole family. 

4. Suitable for the family

An SUV model meets all the needs for a business, family and travel vehicle. The large space in the ceiling and legroom provide extra comfort for people sitting in the car, a great feature for long distances traveling, plus if you need more spacious space to be able to carry more items or bulky chemicals, the 2nd- or 3rd-row seats after folded will meet your needs.

In the 90s, the large fuel consumption of SUVs often makes car buyers worried. However, in recent years, car manufacturers have researched advanced technologies to minimize the fuel consumption of SUVs. In fact, there are five categories of SUVs from small cars to giant cars, include Mini SUV - Subcompact SUV, Compact SUV, Mid-Size SUV, Full-Size SUV, Extended-Length SUV. Mini SUVs are rare to find these days because automakers have focused more on Mini Crossovers.

In short, the advice of experienced consultants about buying or selling SUV for customers is to have a detailed plan of investment cost and purpose of use to choose for themselves the most suitable SUV.

Sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a category of motor vehicles that combine elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.

There is no commonly agreed definition of an SUV, and usage varies between countries. Some definitions claim that an SUV must be built on a light truck chassis; however, broader definitions consider any vehicle with off-road design features to be an SUV. A crossover SUV is defined as an SUV built with a unibody construction (as per passenger cars), however in many cases crossovers are simply referred to as SUVs. In some countries—such as the United States—SUVs have been classified as "light trucks", resulting in more lenient regulations compared to passenger cars.

The predecessors to SUVs date back to military and low-volume models from the late 1930s, and the four-wheel drive station wagons and carryalls that began to be introduced in 1949. The 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is considered to be the first SUV in the modern style. Most SUVs produced today use unibody construction (as per passenger cars); however, in the past many SUVs used body-on-frame construction.
