WHY BUY A SUV OVER A SEDAN | FORT WAYNE, IN

Two of the most popular types of vehicles on the road are SUVs and sedans, but a SUV has a few distinctive advantages over a sedan. Here are a few of the benefits to owning a SUV instead of a sedan.

Whether you're looking at a crossover or a SUV, these vehicles have more space for cargo and passengers than sedans do. An SUV as large as the 2020 Chevrolet Suburban has a max cargo space of 121.7 cubic feet. That's capable of holding more cargo than even many trucks can.

The all-new Chevy Blazer is capable of customizing its cargo space, so you can adjust it to your specific seating and storage needs for that day. If you need to have seating, the Suburban can provide rides for eight passengers.

SUVs provide a taller ride height to see the road ahead, whereas sedans sit closer to the ground. Taller height means you can spot hazards ahead much sooner allowing you to stay safe and keep your SUV in good condition.

SUVs are much more reliable than sedans when it comes to taking your vehicle off-road. Several Chevrolet SUVs offer all-wheel drive, like the Chevrolet Traverse. Chevy SUVs also offer an available Off-Road drive mode that provides extra torque to the rear wheels, allowing the vehicle to handle tough terrains.

Sedans weight a lot less than SUVs, meaning even if they are capable of towing, they can't tow as much weight. For example, the 2020 Chevrolet Suburban is capable of towing a maximum of 8,300 pounds. So, while the Chevrolet Malibu can tow 1,000 pounds, - a high number for sedans - obviously, SUVs have a big advantage over sedans. If you need to tow large objects, a SUV is definitely the option for you.
