Why choose Vantage for your new SUV?
With 2018 well under way we want to make sure you stay safe in the wild weather
Are you still not sure if an SUV is the right choice for you? Here are a few reasons that you might want to consider switching to an SUV for your new car:
- An SUV has more space to be able to carry you and your passengers comfortably and efficiently
- An SUV can tow more than a regular car and generally come well equipped for the job whatever your hobby may be.
- We have seen an increase in flooding in the UK in the past few years. If you are caught in the unfortunate situation where you need to drive through flood waters an SUV will be better equipped to deal with the water due to the build of the vehicles.
- Mans best friend is a big fan! Owning an SUV is a great idea for dog lovers. With their large cargo areas you can easily put in a barrier to create a safe haven for your furry friends. This will in turn make driving with your dogs in the car safer for everyone.
- Speaking of the cargo area. These vehicles mean you can shop to your hearts content, carry all the golf clubs you could ever need and the pushchair... no problem!
- Better visibility. Because you are sat much higher up in an SUV you can see further down the road enabling you to see hazards ahead. Added bonus: you'll be able to see spaces in car parks more easily.
- An SUV will perform off-road. Aside from the better ground clearance and the great suspension systems these cars are often equipped with four-wheel or all-wheel drive, creating better traction and control on a variety of surfaces.
