Compact, Mid-Size, and Full-Size SUVs Available in Mendon, MA

So, you are in the hunt for an SUV. The first question to ask is: what kind? The term "SUV" can refer to a plethora of different vehicles. The Sport Utility Vehicle comes in different styles and Sizes, but there are three main categories: The Compact SUV, the Mid-Size SUV, and the Full-Size SUV. Each category of SUV offers not just a difference in size and space, but also in style, performance, and comfort. We at Imperial Cars believe your car-buying process should be as easy and stress-free as possible, and one way we are working towards that is by saving you time and breaking down the differences in our SUV inventory so you can narrow down your search.

Compact SUVs

Ford Escape Compact SUV

The Compact SUVs are the smallest of the three categories that offer an SUV level of sport, and capability without massive size. Vehicles in this class include the Chevy Equinox, the Jeep Wrangler, the Ford Escape, and the Hyundai Tucson. They seat up to five people comfortably with plenty of utility space left over. They are available with an all-wheel drive system, and are powered by an I-4 engine.

The Compact SUV is for the weekend warrior, unlike a sedan, a coupe, or a hatchback, these vehicles off the chance to chase more adventures with more control and with more comfort. If you want the fun of an SUV, but don't need all of the space of the full-size SUV. Considering the size difference, the compact SUVs also have a lower effect on your budget.

Mid-Size SUVs


Above the compact, the Mid-Size SUVs boast a larger frame, and because of that, offer more space and capabilities. This size category includes vehicles like the Jeep® Grand Cherokee, Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, and the Dodge Journey.

These SUVs are packed with either an I4 or V6 engine, adding more power along with more size and comfort. Larger wheels provide higher ground clearance, and a larget body provides more trunk space. Roof racks are also available to handle even larger cargo. This kind of SUV is for those who want an extra level of style, comfort, and capability over the Compact SUVs.

Full-Size SUVs

Chevy Tahoe Full Size SUV

The largest of the SUVs are the Full-Size SUVs. These behemoths of road trips and Suburbia are built to hold more people, more gear, and more luxurious features. These vehicles include the Chevy Suburban, the Dodge Durango, and the Ford Expedition.

These vehicles are usually powered by a V6 or V8 engine and can fit seven passengers with a third row of seats. They're available with all-wheel drive to provide that much more handling, and roof racks to provide that extra gear storage for whatever adventures await. So, if you are the kind of driver that tackles everything from car-pool and hockey practice to long family road trips from the beach to the mountains, a Full-Size SUV is what you need.
