Why did someone drive an SUV and then switch to a sedan?SUVs have these drawbacks

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-31

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that everyone who drives an SUV changes to a sedan, after all, it is impossible for everyone who drives an SUV to change to a sedan, but there must be a lot of people who change. In a car. There is a sedan. So why do these people switch to cars?Let's talk about this now.

In fact, anyone who has driven an SUV knows that an SUV has a higher riding position, better visibility, and more practical space than a sedan. But comparatively speaking, SUVs are inferior to sedans because they sit too high. On the one hand, SUV models have too long suspension travel, and the roll is more pronounced when cornering than sedans.

However, because the driver's sitting position is too high, there is no sedan with a relatively low driving position, the steering wheel has a poor sense of control, and the accelerator and brake pedals are affected while driving due to the difference in leg posture. SUVs also have a worse feel than sedans. In addition, the front of the SUV is tall, so the blind spot in front of the car is also large.

It is not friendly to driving on narrow roads, so after driving an SUV, drivers who like to control will eventually return to driving mode. When people get used to SUVs, one of the most obvious advantages of switching to a sedan is improved comfort and better control. For example, if you drive an SUV for 200,000, you basically have to change it for more than 300,000, even if you change it for 200,000 cars.

Then the sedan at this time is at least B-class or C-class. In other words, if you compare a B-segment or C-segment sedan to a compact SUV (which is actually an increase in the height of a compact sedan), think about it and you will know the result. SUVs are more expensive, and in general, SUVs in the same class are more expensive than sedans.

Especially some domestic luxury brand SUVs. For example, the guide price of Mercedes-Benz C-class is 30.78 million to 47.48 million, while the guide price of Mercedes-Benz GLC is 39.08 million to 56.28 million. The higher the model of the luxury brand, the more obvious the price of this car will be. Same powertrain, similar level of configuration, similar wheelbase.

The extra part is the premium of SUV models compared to sedans, which is not unrelated to the enthusiasm of Chinese people for SUVs. For the same amount of money, it is often possible to buy a higher car or a car with a higher configuration in the same class, which is why many people choose a later car. The city SUV has a high ground clearance and a high center of gravity, in order to increase its driving stability.

In particular, in order to increase stability and reduce roll in high-speed cornering, relatively stiff shock absorbers are used. The ride is poor and the generality is poor, so the biggest feeling of driving an urban SUV is that it feels "unstable" and "crazy". This feeling is especially acute on slightly uneven surfaces.

Many reviewers may ask, I compared the fuel consumption of urban SUVs and sedans of the same displacement at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Fuel consumption is not much different. Indeed, the fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can be similar. After all, there are some urban SUVs and sedans used on the same platform, but because urban SUVs need to get out of trouble on bad roads, in order to increase the low torque of the engine.

Reduction ratio matching In many urban SUVs, the engine and transmission are biased towards low-speed optimization, and the fuel consumption of urban SUVs will become more important when driving at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour in special road conditions, such as repeated starting, braking, and speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour. Generally speaking. The fuel consumption of urban SUVs will be at least 1-3L higher than that of vehicles with the same displacement and platform.

As for the ** of the vehicle, the gap between the car and the SUV with the same configuration can reach at least 30,000 to 50,000. SUV models are large in size and the manufacturing cost of the car is high, which also leads to a very low **. The performance of an SUV car. Taking joint venture cars as an example, there are many sedans between 100,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan, with high configurations, gorgeous shapes and stylish interiors, but it is difficult to find suitable models for SUVs between 100,000 yuan and 150,000 yuan.

100,000 and 150,000 RMB. There are Korean cars such as Hyundai ix35 and Zhipao. To sum up, compared with SUVs and sedans, it is obvious that the comprehensive performance of the sedan will be better, if there are no special requirements for the passability of the vehicle, the sedan will be better in terms of car cost performance, car handling, etc. The fuel consumption of the same level of cars occupies an absolute advantage, and the most important thing is that the interior space can also meet the daily needs of the family.
