Why Buy A Sedan
Four-door sedans used to be the standard automobile for most drivers throughout the 20th century. Since then, SUVs and crossovers have become the preferred vehicle of most drivers — including many families here in Pueblo, Colorado. Yet, the time-honored sedan still offers many benefits that you’re sure to love, which you’ll discover when you drive one at Southwest Motors.
Lower average costs
Sedans tend to have lower purchase price than crossover SUVs, trucks, or minivans from the same brands. The reason is simple: sedans are smaller and require fewer build materials. Other vehicles are taller, have large rear ends for cargo, have smaller gas tanks, and require bigger components. Plus, sedans are in lower demand than SUVs currently, so you’ll find a better deal on a used sedan than a used SUV when you shop at Southwest Motors.
The smaller size of a sedan also results in better fuel efficiency rates. Put the same four-cylinder engine in a crossover and a sedan, and chances are that the sedan will travel further on a gallon of gas.
Lower stance and sure-footed stability
You’ll appreciate the lower ride height and ground clearance that sedans offer when you’re making sharp turns around the corners of winding Colorado mountain roads. While crossover SUVs are taller and higher off the ground, they have a raised center of gravity, which can result in higher chances of spinouts and rolling on icy winter streets and gravel roads.
Sedans keep their confident footing by squatting closer to the ground. Plus, they distribute their weight more evenly by having a smaller rear end that resembles the front end.
Practical design for commuters
Why drive a larger vehicle than you have to if you’re not constantly transporting a full crew of family members? SUVs from Southwest Motors are great for large families, but a sedan suits you better if you commute to downtown Pueblo, Cañon City, Colorado City, or Colorado Springs for your job or leisure. From the driver’s seat, a sedan offers comparable spaciousness and technology at a lower cost.
Plus, an executive sedan from a premium brand is much more affordable — and dignified — than an extravagant family SUV.
