An SUV is a great vehicle for both recreation and family transportation. SUVs have plenty of cargo and passenger room, not to mention powerful performance for off-road adventures. With so many great benefits, it's no wonder that the SUV has taken over the market as the most popular family vehicle. If you're thinking of purchasing a new or used SUV, here are a few things to keep in mind. SUVs typically come in three sizes: compact, mid-size, and full-size. But car manufacturers have also recently added one other type of SUV to the market that is also popular: the crossover. A crossover is a car-based SUV designed to appeal to the commuter or family driver. The most important aspect of an SUV for most consumers is the price. Compact SUVs start around the low $20,000 range. Mid-size and full-size SUVs typically begin in the mid $20,000 range and can top out at as much as $100,000 for luxury models. One concern many people have with purchasing an SUV is fuel economy. The most fuel-efficient vehicles are compact SUVs and crossovers with four to six cylinder engines, or turbocharged four cylinder engines. Midsize SUVs will have six-cylinder to V8 engines with an average gas mileage of about 12 to 20 mpg. A potential SUV buyer should also consider two-wheel drive versus four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A four-wheel drive vehicle will give the driver the ability to switch between two and four-wheel drive. All-wheel drive means that the vehicle has four-wheel drive at all times, which can be helpful in harsh climates but will affect fuel economy. Keep these factors in mind as you shop.
