SUV, Sedan or Hatchback? Choosing the Right Body Type

The body type affects space, comfort, parking and cost. Think about how you really use a car before choosing.

Hatchback

Compact, easy to park and economical. A smart pick for city commuting and small families.

Sedan

Sedans offer a comfortable ride and a large, separate boot. They feel stable on highways but sit lower on rough roads.

SUV

A higher seating position, more ground clearance and more space. SUVs cost more to buy and to run but handle poor roads confidently.

Our advice

Pick the smallest body type that meets your real needs. Bigger vehicles bring higher fuel, parking and insurance costs.
