Crossovers are taking over the streets. They’re all the rage in the automotive industry and nearly every carmaker has at least one in their lineup. But sedans remain incredibly popular. And thanks to the crossover craze, buying a new or used sedan has become much more attractive thanks to the great deals and options that are available.
There’s also the fact that whenever anyone thinks about a typical car, it’s always a sedan that springs to mind. It’s the quintessential example of what a car should be. There are several reasons for this.
Fuel Economy
Sedans offer some of the best fuel-economy figures of all vehicle platforms. And you don’t have to spend too much money to get one. Consider cars like the Ford Fusion, Kia Optima, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Yaris and you understand what we’re talking about. For anyone who has a long daily commute or likes to take road trips, a comfortable, safe car with excellent fuel economy will help save you money while being nicer to the environment.
Seating
SUVs offer a high seating position, but they often compromise on headroom. For taller drivers, lower seating positions are also favorable. The raised position of crossovers and SUVs could have them bumping their heads on the ceiling and potentially hurting themselves.
Visibility
Sedans often feature large glasshouses that make it extremely easy to see out the front, the sides, and even the rear window. So even though they may come equipped with a back-up camera, blind-spot monitors, cross-traffic alerts, you won’t need them.
Style
The classic design of a sedan is hard to argue with. They’re sleek, attractive, well-proportioned, and always catch the eye when they pass by. Despite sticking to the original three-box design for over seventy years, the sedan is only getting more and more attractive. Designers are always finding new ways to make each sedan distinctive while ensuring it loses none of its practicality.
Evergreen
Sedans have been around for a long time. This age-old design has been subjected to steady evolution resulting in optimization that only gets better with time. Sedans are extremely reliable, built well, feature sophisticated suspensions that make them sporty and comfortable, and extremely practical. So, why go for anything else?
