Sedan vs SUV — which body type should you buy?

SUVs outsell sedans in India today, but a sedan is still the smarter buy for many people. Here is the honest comparison.

Where the SUV wins

Commanding view, higher ground clearance for broken roads and speed breakers, bigger boot, and stronger road presence and resale demand.

Where the sedan wins

Better ride comfort and high-speed stability, usually 1–2 kmpl more efficient, lower price for the same features, and easier parking.

The verdict

Rough roads, big family, frequent luggage? Go SUV. Mostly city and highway commuting with comfort as priority? A sedan often makes more sense — and saves money. Compare specific models at /compare.
