SUVs vs. Sedans: What’s the Best Choice for Saudi Drivers?
Last Updated On Sun Jul 14 2024
Choosing between an SUV and a sedan can be a tough decision for Saudi drivers. Each type of vehicle type offers unique benefits that match different lifestyles and driving conditions. In this article, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when making your choice, ensuring you find the best car for your needs in Saudi Arabia.
Terrain
Saudi Arabia's diverse terrain ranges from urban streets to – literally – the desert. SUVs are designed to handle these varying conditions with ease. They offer higher ground clearance and robust off-road capabilities, making them ideal for desert and off-road adventures. Sedans, on the other hand, excel on paved urban roads, providing smooth and comfortable rides for daily commuting. What kind of driver are you? Where do you find yourself more often, driving the city streets or exploring the sand dunes?
Space
SUVs generally have the upper hand when it comes to space, but sedans are pretty comfortable too. Both usually offer ample cargo space and seating, perfect for families on road trips or for drivers constantly moving items around. The SUVs’ larger interior makes long journeys more comfortable for passengers. Sedans, while more compact, on the other hand, are easier to maneuver and park, even though this shouldn’t be a problem in Riyadh’s wide roads, for example.
Fuel Efficiency
Even though fuel availability is not necessarily an issue, its efficiency is a critical factor for many drivers. Sedans typically offer better fuel economy than SUVs, which translates to lower running costs for daily commutes. If you’re looking to save on fuel expenses and have a predictable driving pattern, a sedan might be the better option. But in a couple of years, the gap will surely be closed, with modern SUVs offering the same – if not better – fuel efficiency than sedans.
Comfort
Comfort is subjective and depends on personal preferences and driving habits, and we believe both SUVs and sedans provide a great deal of it. The catch here is driver preference: looking for a higher driving position? Choose an SUV. Like stability and feeling closer to the ground? A sedan is for you. SUVs often come equipped with advanced off-road features, enhancing comfort during rugged drives – so if that’s you, an SUV should be your choice. But if you are a city driver, a sedan will give you superior handling and smooth rides on paved roads, making them ideal for city and highway driving.
Cost
Budget is usually a decisive factor in choosing a vehicle, and it should go beyond the car’s final price.
Maintenance, upkeep, insurance, cost-benefit and other topics should be considered. Even though sedans are generally less expensive to buy and maintain when compared to SUVs, for having lower initial costs and, as mentioned earlier, better fuel efficiency, reducing long-term expenses; SUVs offer more space and versatility, which could justify the higher price for some drivers.
The point is: what makes sense for you?
