“In the end, which is better, an SUV or a sedan?” For those of you who are confused about choosing a car.
Time to replace your car. Are you worried that you’d like to ride one of the latest trends in SUVs, but you still can’t get rid of the calm feel of a sedan?
This is a question we often get asked at our shop. Even if you compare the spec sheets in the catalog, it doesn’t really make sense. So this time, from the realistic perspective of an auto shop, we will talk about the “good points” and “some points of concern” in detail!
🚙 “SUV” with excitement and practicality
✅ This is the best!
The best part is the good view! The eye point is high, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to see what’s ahead in traffic jams, and it’s so easy to drive that you’ll feel like you’re getting better at driving.
The other thing is The size of the luggage compartment. Dawn without folding the stroller! You can afford it even if you pile it up or buy it at Costco. It’s a car that will definitely be fun to go out with your family on holidays, as it can handle small bumps and snowy roads.
⚠️ This is a bit…
The disadvantage is size. If you are in a small coin parking lot or a supermarket parking lot in Tokyo, you may be a little nervous at first. Also, because of its height, some people may be concerned about the body feeling a little bouncy around curves on the highway. Fuel efficiency is also a little tough on your wallet compared to sedans.

🚘 “Sedan” with overwhelming comfort
✅ This is the best!
Honestly, when it comes to driving comfort and comfort, the sedan wins by a landslide! Because the center of gravity is low, it glides smoothly across the ground. The feeling of fatigue after driving long distances is completely different.
What’s more, since the trunk and passenger space are separated, the sound of tires coming from behind is blocked out, making the inside of the car extremely quiet. It’s perfect for people who want to enjoy their favorite music or have a leisurely conversation with the person in the passenger seat. Fuel efficiency is also excellent because there is less air resistance.
⚠️ This is a bit…
The weak point is definitely “Loading capacity“. It is not suitable for loading large furniture or camping equipment. Also, since the seat is so low, I sometimes hear people complaining that when they get on or off the train, it comes down to their waist (bitter smile).
🌟 Popular car models: Crown / Civic / MAZDA3 / Impreza
💡 Conclusion: So, which one should you choose?
| People for whom SUVs are recommended I want to be active with my family on weekends! People who have a lot of luggage and want to prioritize a good view and sense of security from the driver’s seat. | People for whom sedans are recommended For commuting and driving. For those who want to enjoy the fun of driving and the comfort of the ride in a quiet and calm space. |
