Advantages of SUV OR WHY YOU SHOULD BUY AN SUV?

• If you're very much passionate about off-roading, SUV is the best companion for you. It not only deals with rough terrain but also absorbs the bumps and scuffs, and reduces the risk of getting stuck in muddy fields while adventurous rides, or we can say off-roading. But, it has become more stable by maintaining contact between the wheels and the vehicle. Hence, SUV becomes very much stable whether it is a problematic area or any other obstacles come across while driving.
• Sports utility vehicles are preferred by Indian families very much as it gives you an additional option of third-row seating. You can fold it and keep it away in the loading bay so that your four to five people can travel easily with flexible and comfortable upholstery.

• As compared to compact, full-sized SUVs are larger in size. The FULL size of an SUV can make you stuck in traffic anywhere, anytime! The size makes it difficult to ride, until and unless you get used to it.
• The large body, heavy material, and powerful engine make the full-size SUV weak in case of mileage, on the other hand, as compared to full size, compact SUV is lighter with a less powerful engine and returns better fuel efficiency to the user.
• Full-sized SUVs are basically available with 7 seater layout, like ford endeavor, Toyota Fortuner and compact SUVs come with 5 seater layout like Hyundai Creta and Tata Harrier.

SUV exhaust system

Its exhaust system gets through a lot of pressure, high temperature, and vibrations as it is designed for harsh conditions but if it is used for only short rides and if its exhaust never gets up to the temperature, it leads to corrosion and rusting of an exhaust. The reason behind the damaged exhaust pipe can also be rocks and debris. A noisy engine, decreased fuel efficiency, decreased acceleration, and gas smell can also cause leakage in the exhaust pipe, and if not addressed quickly it may lead to bigger problems also.

SUV brake system

• You should always use your right foot for braking.
• There should be some amount of reasonable space in front.
• Instead of brakes, you should use engine braking.
• The car should never be overloaded with unnecessary weight.
