Why buy a crossover or SUV?
New crossovers and SUVs are flooding the market and there are a lot to choose from. On the outside it’s hard to see what makes these powerful vehicles so special, but what’s under the hood is really key. So why buy a crossover or SUV and why not just buy a car instead? At Matt Castrucci Nissan we like to let the vehicle’s performance and capability do the talking and that’s exactly the way to judge crossovers and SUVs. Here it is, pure and simple, why crossovers and SUVs rock.
Fuel Efficient Beasts
Even though crossovers and SUVs weigh more than the typical sedan, the fuel economy numbers can be very similar. For example the 2015 Nissan Murano is capable of delivering 21 city and 28 highway mpg compared to the 2015 Nissan Altima that has EPA-estimates of 22 city and 32 highway mpg. Not only does the 2015 Nissan Murano have great fuel economy, it has the responsive handling of a car with more room for cargo and passengers. In fact the 2015 Nissan Murano has 54.5 cubic feet in additional luggage volume compared to the 2015 Nissan Altima.
“To Town We Tow”
Sometimes you need to move some things, but don’t want to rent a truck to do it. That’s where having a SUV or crossover comes in handy. The 2015 Nissan Murano is a crossover with a maximum trailer weight of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. Need more towing capability? The 2015 Nissan Armada SUV has the capability to tow up to 6,500 pounds and an option to up the maximum trailer weight to 8,200 pounds is also available.
Slick Minivan Alternative
Minivans are great, but it’s nice to have options. That’s where SUVs and crossovers are nice. Nissan SUVs and crossovers come packed with great features and plenty of room for passengers and cargo. The 2015 Nissan Armada has seating for eight and 97.1 cubic feet of maximum luggage volume. In contrast the 2015 Nissan Murano has 69.9 cubic feet of maximum luggage volume and seating for five.
