Visibility

All SUV models have a high seating position and all-around visibility. Due to the large side mirrors and the raised body, such models have fewer blind spots. It is much easier to assess the traffic situation from the cockpit of such cars. The highest visibility parameters are demonstrated by such SUV models as Kia Soul, Volkswagen Polo, Nissan Juke.

Ground Clearance

In comparison to sedans, SUVs are much easier to overcome high arrivals and corner exits, exits with snowdrifts and travel on a knurled dirt road. It is easier to park to low curbs and move over speed bumps, and short body overhangs allow the car to successfully surmount hills, ditches, ups and downs. At the same time, bumpers, body kits, sills and underbody are better protected from damage. If you need a used SUV with the highest ground clearance, take a look at the Jeep Wrangler, Mitsubishi Outlander or Toyota RAV4.

How to Choose a Used SUV?

how to choose a used suv

You may have dozens of criteria when choosing your next vehicle, but there are several points you should pay attention to:

  • Look closely at the back door. If your car has problems with the paintwork, you will see them there first, as the back door is the place where the dirt settles down.
  • Take a close look at the wheels. Unevenly worn-out tires is a signal that the suspension has not been taken care of.
  • Cars with turbocharged engines require particular attention. For a used car, this is especially vital. Statistically, problems appear after 100,000 miles. If your chosen one is approaching this mark, it would be more reliable without a turbine. Otherwise, don’t neglect regular maintenance and diagnostics.
  • The more stuffing, the better. Not a fan of all the bells and whistles? Anyway, it will be easier to sell your car when the time comes.
  • When choosing the color of your SUV, decide on your priorities. A rare tone with plays will help you stand out of the crowd but may set you back a pretty penny to cover up any dent. With simple dark colors , you will have much fewer headaches.
