In 1999, the sales of SUVs outperformed that of regular cars for the first time and they have continued to dominate the market with expanding options in size, price and features in the first two decades of the 2000\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/reynier-carl-OWQcijMbqbg-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Reynier Carl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages of Buying An SUV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People buy SUVs for a number of different reasons but typically for their size, safety and convenience.&nbsp; The fact that SUV\u2019s are larger than a sedan and often have the power of a large truck means that you can haul a decent amount of cargo and seat a number of passengers (typically anywhere between 5-9), while still enjoying the premium features that many SUVs are now commonly equipped with.&nbsp; The size and heaviness of the vehicles also make them great for handling inclement weather and rough terrain, which could be important depending on where you live.&nbsp; Plus, the roominess of an SUV often makes getting in and out of it much easier on older adults or those with physical challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUVs also provide drivers with a lot of safety features.&nbsp; Aside from some of the new, advanced technology including things like collision warnings, back-up or rearview cameras and pedestrian detection, the height of the SUV gives drivers more visability for safer driving. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are thinking about making your next vehicle an SUV, consider a few factors to help you choose the right SUV for your budget and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tabea-damm-O7WzqmeYoqc-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Tabea Damm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the early days of SUVs, they were mostly big, rugged vehicles that were also often gas-guzzlers without many premium features.&nbsp; Nowadays, you can choose from a range of sizes to find the SUV that works best for your lifestyle.&nbsp; Compact, mid-size and full-size SUVs all offer different advantages for your consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Small\/Compact SUVs:<\/strong> These are a great option for someone purchasing their first SUV as they tend to be more affordable than their larger counterparts.&nbsp; Many now offer the same fuel economy as a sedan with more room and functionality.&nbsp; While they may not offer the horsepower of a larger SUV, many customers buy compact SUV for their cargo roominess and extra seating and are typically less concerned about engine power.&nbsp; Some of the most popular compact SUVs are the Toyota Rav4 (MSRP: $25,950), the Honda CR-V (MSRP: $25,150) and the Subaru Forester (MSRP:$24,495).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the best known luxury auto makers, like Mercedes-Benz, also make popular compact SUVs like their Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class (MSRP: $42,500), which offers augmented navigation features and even comes in a plug-in hybrid model which gets an estimated 70 MPG on the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also <strong>Subcompact SUVs, <\/strong>smaller than a compact SUV, but more practical for urban areas and budget-conscience drivers who don\u2019t want to spend a fortune to fill their gas tank. The Nissan Rogue Sport (MSRP: $23,240), Mazda CX-3 (MSRP: $20,640) and CX-30 (MSRP: $21,900), Chevrolet Trax (MSRP: $21,300) and Hyundai Kona (MSRP: $20,300) are all smaller, sporty SUVs at a very affordable price point.<\/p><div id=\"every-2643566392\" class=\"every-content-4\"><div class='content_4' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 250px;'>\r\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.everyday-guide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/travis-essinger-3V0FGLkueyA-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Travis Essinger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Midsize SUVs:<\/strong> These SUVs offer more room while still providing good gas mileage.&nbsp; There are some surprisingly affordable models for the amount of car you get, including the Hyundai Santa Fe (MSRP: $27,415) and the Kia Sorrento (MSRP: $28,110).&nbsp; Mitsubishi\u2019s popular Eclipse Cross offers a lot of efficiency in a larger size at an affordable price point (MSRP: $24,190).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Volkswagen Atlas (MSRP: $31,545) consistently ranks as a top seller of midsize SUVs and has a loyal customer following.
