Many sport utility vehicles have a bad reputation for being harmful to the environment or getting bad gas mileage. However, automobile manufacturers are now designing models that are much more economically sound and some families are choosing to upgrade to these types of cars to make room for additional members of the family. A typical sedan can seat four or five people comfortably, but the leg room is often limited, especially for the person sitting in the middle seat. When considering how to “sell my car for cash” an upgrade to a roomier vehicle will make trips much more enjoyable for all.

Some of the most popular SUVs on the market include the Nissan Murano, Audi Q5, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, Lexus RX, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda CR-V, and Kia Sorento. Many of these are completely affordable, and selecting a slightly older model can also help reduce the car payment. Some of the manufacturers are even combining hybrid technology with the standard features of an SUV, which gives the space and driving capabilities of a large vehicle without having to spend hard-earned savings on rising gas prices.

The Nissan Murano can be purchased with all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, and comes standard with a V-6 engine that gets up to 23 miles per gallon. The Ford Explorer has been a long-time favorite, ranking in the top SUV lists for many years, and can fit up to 7 passengers. Jeep Grand Cherokees are also a popular choice, combining easy handling with a powerful engine to make it a favorite. Crossover SUVs are also a popular, since these body styles are often slightly smaller and easier to maneuver than a larger vehicle, such as a Chevy Suburban or Ford Expedition. However, the extras are plentiful, such as all-wheel drive, leather interior, fast acceleration speeds, and more. Even the toughest car critic is sure to find an appealing model when looking to upgrade from the standard sedan.
