[BROOM.NO] SUV has become the new little car in Norway – and has also become the new status vehicle for many.
The tall vehicle type – often with 4×4 – has hit the middle of the national character.
result is that many either go for the SUV, than more traditional types of cars as a sedan and station wagon.
Watch out for
But what is worth thinking about before you buy an SUV? Brooms bilekspert Benny Christensen get many questions about car choice to its “Ask Benny» slot here on broom.no.
One of the regulars is precisely the SUV or wagon family car. And here are several things one should familiarize themselves prior to purchase.
SUV with little difficulty – this is the top 10
overrated place
– The main interest in practice is actually square. My impression is that many car buyers overestimate what one gets out of place in what we call a regular SUV. When I think of a relatively compact car, the new price between 400,000 and 500,000 respectively.
– Most station wagons in the same price range have in fact larger trunk, often much larger. That can be a bit boring explorers to do as a new SUV owners – the car simply becomes too narrow in many contexts, says Benny.

Winter driving
Another thing you should be aware of, is that SUVs come with a higher center of gravity and thus behaves slightly differently on the road than most station wagons. This is especially noticeable in turns.
In winter conditions, many SUV owners who have had their negative surprises, then feel through the combination of weight and center of gravity. Four-wheel drive can also disguise poor driving conditions quite well – until suddenly it’s too late.
Kings on the road
– This is the feeling that one has control of his car, is obviously important. Here it is unfortunately part SUV owners who probably runs a little small margins. They are little kings of the road. But it helps even now not so much about coming up in the world – if one fails to slow up the downhills.
– SUV’s are over-represented when it comes to ending up in the ditch in winter. But this is certainly about driver error and again this with margins, says Benny.

Good arguments
In practice, it also often costs a little more to keep an SUV versus a station wagon. Larger and higher car means more weight and greater air resistance – which means higher fuel consumption.
tires can also cost a great deal more on an SUV, especially on the larger issues.
But what speaks so to choose SUV vs wagon? Benny has several good arguments in there too:
larger loads
– Yeah! It sits high and gets very good overview of the traffic around them. Most SUVs come with good maneuverability. They also have a little extra ground clearance, it can be worth gold in both the city and the last piece to the cabin. You come across snow banks and arrive in deeper snow than normal cars can.
– Because of the weight one can often also pull larger loads. It may come in handy, whether you’re talking about the caravan, horse trailer or boat, says Benny.

Attractive used cars
– Finally, I would like to highlight this with resale value. It varies of course much between the various brands and models, but amongst the cars lose the very least, we always find several SUVs.
– This is actually very attractive used cars, which allows both easy to sell them on and that the value loss is low. Now we have to put a little into the market before buying, both in models and what kind of equipment motorization and it is smart to choose. Adding in the effort prior to purchase here, it can have very significant for total loss of motor vehicle.
