Which SUV Size Is Best For You?

It can be hard to find the right vehicle for your family, as you might not know exactly what you’re looking for yet. While SUVs always make for great family models, you’re going to need to decide which size is best for you. Small and large SUVs both have their pros and cons, so you’re going to want to take the time to weigh them out. If you’re ready to take a closer look at one of our models, then you can stop by the nearest ALM Cars dealership today.

The Best Options For Efficiency

If you’re specifically worried about efficiency, then you’re probably going to want to stick with either subcompact or compact SUVs.

• Subcompact SUVs: This is the smallest type of SUV that you’ll find on the market. Their small stature makes them great choices for city driving since they’re easy to drive, and they tend to be the most efficient SUV option. To give you an idea of what kind of SUVs fall into this category, there’s the Hyundai Venue, the Kia Soul, and the Chevy Trailblazer, to name a few.
• Compact SUVs: While compact SUVs are larger than subcompact SUVs, they still don’t offer the same amount of room that a mid-size or full-size SUV would. Still, they’re comfortable options that sometimes even offer three rows. These are flexible models that are great for families that are just starting out.

The Best Options For Space and Power

For those with larger families, a mid-size or full-size SUV is going to make more sense.

• Mid-Size SUVs: If you need the extra cargo space, then it would be smart to upgrade to a mid-size SUV. Mid-size SUVs tend to be great choices for those who love to camp and travel, as they offer more than enough room for your gear. Popular SUVs like the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Pathfinder are both classified as mid-size options.
• Full-Size SUVs: Full-Size SUVs tend to be the most powerful, so they’re the perfect choice for those who need to tow in the future. They also offer more than enough seating to accommodate big families.

• Getting Around The Efficiency Issue: The main trade-off of driving a larger SUV is the fact that you usually won’t be as efficient. The easiest way to step around this issue is to look for hybrid models. While large hybrid SUVs still might not be as efficient as a subcompact SUV would, you’ll find that they do a better job of closing the gap.
