Why Buy an SUV from Scott Family of Dealerships
Why Buy an SUV? Here’s the Real-World Breakdown
If you’re on the fence about your next vehicle, you’re not alone – drivers throughout Allentown are constantly weighing the pros and cons between SUVs, sedans, trucks, and crossovers. However, there’s a reason why the SUV market has experienced such a surge in popularity. Actually, there are several.
The experts at Scott Family of Dealerships in Allentown, PA, have created this guide detailing practical reasons why an SUV might just be the perfect vehicle for your lifestyle. Our team will explain the benefits of modern SUVs over other vehicles like sedans, examine seating, cargo, automotive technology, safety, and more. Whether you’re comparing body style options or trying to decide between a Chevrolet Equinox and something roomier, here’s why many drivers are sticking with SUVs.
Room for Everyone (and Everything)
One of the biggest benefits of owning an SUV is space – and we’re not just talking about headroom. Many SUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse or Tahoe offer three rows of seats for seven or eight passengers, while smaller models like the Chevy Trax or Trailblazer give you flexible cargo configurations without the bulk.
Even compact SUVs provide significantly more cargo space than most sedans. Take the Chevy Equinox – it offers up to 63.5 cubic feet of room, perfect for road trips, sports gear, or hauling groceries.
Whether you need space for kids, coworkers, or camping gear, SUVs give you room without sacrificing comfort.
Versatility that Works for Pennsylvania Roads
From icy winters to muddy trailheads near the Pocono Mountains, modern SUVs bring an unmatched level of versatility. Thanks to optional all-wheel drive and elevated ground clearance, they handle Allentown’s road conditions more confidently than other vehicles.
Need something agile for the city but strong enough for the weekend? Crossovers like the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer strike that balance, offering the maneuverability of a car with the capability of an SUV.
No matter the terrain – or weather – you'll have a good reason to take the long way home.
Safety Comes Standard
Safety matters. And today’s SUV-class vehicles deliver in a big way. Most Chevrolet SUVs at Scott Family of Dealerships come equipped with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes features like:
Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- HD Rear Vision Camera
Larger SUVs also sit higher off the ground, giving drivers improved visibility of the road and their surroundings. With family in tow or solo on your daily commute, sport-utility vehicles offer peace of mind as part of the package.
Tech and Comfort in Every Drive
Gone are the days when SUVs were just rugged haulers. Today, they come packed with cutting-edge automotive technology and premium comfort features.
Expect options like:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Wi-Fi Hotspot Capability
- Large Digital Instrument Clusters
- Hands-Free Liftgates
- Heated Seats and Steering Wheels
Whether you're commuting through the Lehigh Valley or road-tripping out of state, these features transform your time on the road into something enjoyable – and efficient.
Better Resale and Long-Term Value
Here’s something that rarely gets talked about: Many SUV models retain value better than comparable vehicles, especially in the compact and mid-size segments. Thanks to their popularity, demand stays high in both new and used markets.
That means if you're thinking long-term, choosing an SUV could put more money back in your pocket when it's time to trade in or sell. Plus, strong warranties and durability across GM’s lineup add even more benefits over time.
