SUVs are popular for their size, versatility, and safety features. But with so many SUVs on the market, how do you know which one is right for you? There are many options: compact, full-sized, gas, electric, and hybrid. Here are Santee Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we know choosing the right family SUV can seem intimidating. That’s why our sales team works hard to make sure you find the best SUV for you! Read on for everything you need to know to make the right decision. more SUV Types and Sizes To start your SUV shopping journey, think about what size vehicle you need. If you simply want something a little larger than a sedan, a small SUV should provide plenty of room. But if you have a large family or carpool a lot, a mid- or full-size SUV is best for your needs. Let’s explore the differences between SUV sizes: Small SUVs These are best for drivers looking for something larger than a small sedan but smaller than a big SUV. Small SUVs offer flexible cargo space and a higher driving position than most cars, which appeals to many drivers. Fuel economy varies, but they typically get around 25 to 28 MPG overall. They also come with a smaller price tag, usually starting in the high $20,000s and topping out around $35,000. If you’re looking for a small SUV, we recommend models like the Jeep Compass, the Jeep Cherokee, and the Dodge Hornet. Midsize SUVs For most drivers, the midsized SUV is the perfect combination of power, interior space, cargo room, and safety. Midsized models come in two- and three-row options with room for five to eight people. Fuel economy decreases from smaller SUVs, getting around 15 to 22 MPG overall. Midsize SUVs on our lot include the Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler. Large SUVs Need even more room or hauling capabilities? Large SUVs–sometimes referred to as full-size SUVs– are just what you’re looking for. Large SUVs can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $75,000 for more top-level trims. Two of the most popular models are the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. What an SUV Buyer Should Consider Now that you’ve considered the different sizes, it’s important to think about your needs. Here are some key points to consider: Seating Almost all SUVs carry at least five people, and some mid- and full-sized models include a third-row that increases the capacity to seven or eight. With the third row upright, you’ll lose some cargo space unless you opt for the extended version of a large SUV. Cargo Cargo space is one of the most appealing features of an SUV. Even with three rows of seats, you’ll enjoy versatile seating configurations to accommodate your cargo. To get the most out of your space, look for seats that fold down flat. For maximum convenience, ask to see models with power-operated, hands-free liftgates, which make it easier to access the cargo area. Safety and Driver Assistance Features Safety ratings for every SUV can be found on the I nsurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) website. We recommend looking for modern safety features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind spot warning. These are just a few of the available features, so be sure to ask about more advanced safety features! 2WD, AWD, and 4WD Most SUVs offer all these drive options. AWD and 4WD provide power to all wheels and are ideal for off-roading or areas that get snow. For everyday driving in a mild climate, 2WD is typically sufficient. These are just a few features that we find essential to SUV buyers. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to ask a member of our team! Find Your Perfect SUV at Santee CDJR When shopping for an SUV, you have dozens of options to choose from. With so many SUVs for sale, finding one with the performance, features, and value that meets your needs can be tricky. That’s where we come in!

There’s much to consider when choosing the perfect vehicle, but more decisions await once you’ve selected the right new ride. Our team makes the process simple, ensuring your next steps are the best for your budget. So if you’re not sure whether buying or leasing is the smartest option, we’re here to help! Buying a new car comes with higher monthly costs, but once you’ve paid it off, the vehicle is yours to keep. Leasing, on the other hand, is more affordable – but also comes with a few disadvantages. more In the end, the right choice is steered by your individual needs and preferences, so consider these first. Then, read on to learn more! We’ll review the pros and cons of both options here, helping you make an informed decision you can feel confident about. Understand the Basics Not sure how leasing works? It’s simple! Leasing a car essentially means that you are renting it for a specific period of time, usually 24 or 36 months. You’ll make monthly lease payments while you’re driving the vehicle, until the lease term is up. Once your lease period ends, you can either return the vehicle to the dealership or purchase it for a price specified in the lease agreement. Keep in mind that there are typically restrictions, like the amount of miles you can drive. If you choose to buy a vehicle, you can pay in cash upfront or finance it. Paying in full at the time of purchase means that you own the car outright and immediately take the title. Most customers, though, choose to finance their vehicle with a car loan and make monthly payments until it is paid off. This allows you to build equity over time, and at the end of the financing period, the vehicle is all yours! When it’s time for your new vehicle, you’re free to trade or sell your current one. When deciding between a car lease or loan, ask yourself the following: How much can I reasonably afford to spend on monthly payments? How long do I want to make payments for? How much am I willing to pay in upfront costs? How far do I typically drive each week? How important is it to drive a brand-new model? How clean do I usually keep my car? Do I use my car for business purposes? Would it qualify for a tax deduction? Pros and Cons Benefits of Leasing Lower upfront cost More affordable monthly payments No resale hassle Flexibility to get a new car every few years Worry-free maintenance Potential for tax deductions Benefits of Buying Car ownership/long-term investment Complete control over mileage Firm idea of costs No restrictions Total control Potential for tax deductions Cons of Leasing No perks of ownership Mileage limits Fees and other costs (termination fee or excessive wear and tear fee) Cons of Buying Rapid depreciation Driving costs (fuel, insurance, maintenance) Trust Santee Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to Help You Make the Best Decision!

Our team has streamlined the process to get you back on the road as efficiently as possible, offering friendly customer service each step of the way!

Off-Roading Safety Tips It’s crucial to make safety a priority when off-roading. These tips can help: Tip 1: Know your limits. Never attempt trails that are above your skill level. Doing so not only puts you at risk, but others sharing the trail. Tip 2: Bring a friend. Sticking to the buddy system is a wise idea, especially if something goes wrong. For instance, if your Jeep gets stuck in the mud, your partner can pull you out. Tip 3: Inspect your equipment. Before hitting the trail, make sure all your off-road gear is functioning properly. Tip 4: Check your tire pressure. Often referred to as airing down, lowering your tire pressure can help provide better stability and traction while on the trail. Tip 5: Know your Jeep’s capabilities. Familiarize yourself with your Jeep’s capabilities and don’t exceed them. Jeeps are built for adventure, but it’s important not to push your vehicle beyond its limits.
