Frequently Asked Questions About SUVs

1. What’s the main advantage of an SUV over a car?

SUVs typically offer a higher driving position, more cargo space, and easier access for passengers compared to many sedans. They’re often better suited for families, outdoor gear, and uneven roads while still being comfortable and practical for daily commuting.

2. Do I really need all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD)?

AWD or 4WD is helpful if you regularly drive on dirt or gravel roads, travel in bad weather, or tow on varied surfaces. If most of your driving is on paved city streets and highways, front- or rear-wheel drive may be sufficient, though many drivers still prefer AWD for added peace of mind.

3. Are SUVs bad on fuel compared to smaller cars?

Generally, SUVs use more fuel than compact cars due to size and weight, but modern engines, turbocharged options, and hybrids have closed the gap. Compact and midsize SUVs often offer fuel economy close to that of larger sedans, while hybrid and electric SUVs can significantly reduce fuel use.

4. What size SUV should I choose for my family?

Think about how many passengers you carry most days, not just on rare occasions.

  • Small families or couples: compact or midsize two-row SUV
  • Families with multiple kids or frequent guests: midsize or three-row SUV
  • Large families or regular group travel: full-size three-row SUV

5. How much towing capacity do I need?

Start with what you plan to tow—small utility trailer, boat, camper, or nothing at all. Then look at the weight rating for that trailer or equipment and compare it to the SUV’s tow rating. It’s best to choose an SUV that comfortably exceeds what you expect to tow rather than just matching it.

6. What’s the difference between a crossover and an SUV?

In everyday conversation, people use the terms interchangeably. Technically, many “crossovers” are built on car-like unibody platforms, which usually ride smoother and handle more like a car. Traditional SUVs are often built on truck-like frames and may offer stronger towing and off-road capability.

7. Are hybrid and electric SUVs worth it?

They can be, depending on your driving habits. If you drive mostly in town or have a predictable daily commute, hybrids and EVs can cut fuel costs and offer quieter driving. The more miles you drive, the more potential value you may see from improved efficiency.

8. How do I know which SUV is right for me?

Start with your daily routine: where you drive, who rides with you, what you haul, and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. Then test drive a few options in different sizes and brands. Paying attention to comfort, visibility, storage, and how confident you feel behind the wheel will usually point you toward the right SUV.
