Let Us Give You A Little Help Picking Out Your Next SUV

What Size SUV Should You Buy For a Family?
SUVs are among the most popular automobiles ever produced. Most models offer handling similar to that of sedans but with a higher seating position for better visibility and more interior space for people and cargo. So, what size SUV should you buy for a family? That is a rather complicated question, but the team at Fairley & Stevens Ford likes a challenge. Our team thought the best answer to this question would be to break down SUVs by size and share what they offer. Let’s see what they came up with.

Compact SUVs Features
Compact SUVs make up some of the most popular models on the market. This type of SUV is perfect for small families with small children. The back seats are roomy enough for car seats and can be easily accessed from the front passenger seat in case someone needs extra attention. Some examples of popular compact SUVs include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
Typical compact SUV features:
- Good fuel economy – Less money spent at the pump.
- Smaller size for easy parking – Ideal for city life.
- Enough cargo space for everyday errands – Strollers, groceries, and backpacks fit comfortably.
Midsize SUV Features
In terms of popularity, midsize SUVs are pretty high up on the list. These platforms offer more interior space than their compact siblings, often making a third row of seats available. Some examples of popular midsize SUVs include the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot.
A lot of people choose to fold the third row away for the extra cargo volume that can be available.
Full-Size SUV Features
At the top of the SUV ladder are the full-size models. This class features tried and true names like the Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. If three rows of seats are mandatory, a full-size SUV model will make sure the people sitting all the way in the back have as much room as possible. Additionally, since full-size SUVs often share an architecture with pickup trucks, they can also do some serious towing.
