There is nothing better than a sedan when it comes to comfort and convenience. If you are wondering why sedans are popular, below are several reasons.
It has been observed that sedans can bring out the best in terms of performance and handling. Unlike SUVs, they can be full-throttled around the corners because of their low centre of gravity, and are also less prone to tip over and roll than SUVs. Sedans also lead in terms of interior. They usually offer a plush interior as compared to SUVs. When it comes to mileage, it’s observed that sedan cars are ahead because they are lighter than SUVs which means that they can hew the running costs. Sedans are low maintenance too.
Sedans usually attract lower insurance premiums whereas SUVs attract higher insurance premiums
