So, you are looking for an SUV, right? Yes, the Sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) are one of the finest cars ever made. They have elegance, smartness and speed. Also, some of them have striking interiors with a compact outlook and other versatile features.

Sounds great. But you need to consider certain facts before making a deal. SUV Cars in Cyprus are available. However, they need your special consideration. You need to check them below.

The type

There several types of SUVs available. Interestingly, most of the users are unaware of the types. They think that they are having a car. So, they do not care about the types.

But the SUVs are available as subcompact SUVs, small SUVs and crossover utility vehicles (CUVs), too. They are a bit different from conventional SUVs. 

4WD/ AWD/ 2WD

Confused? 4WD stands for four-wheel drive, AWD stands for all-wheel drive. And 2WD refers to a two-wheel drive. It depends on the type of terrains you are going to drive. If the terrain is rough, the 4WD will have better performance for strong wheel movement. The 2WD is suited for almost all the off roads, while you can use the AWD for the city streets as the system is a bit lighter. 

Seating capacity and cargo space

Generally, an SUV can accommodate five people. However, if the SUV is of full size, you can get a small seat extension. Therefore, the seating capacity will be increased up to seven or eight people.

On the other part, you will get sufficient cargo space. In front of each seat, there is a space. You can use that for placing the cargos. If you fold any seat, you can use that space for additional cargo space too.

Safety measures

As part of the safety measures, you should check the braking system, steering wheels. Do not forget to check the headlight performance. It is crucial indeed. The vehicle should come with an automatic braking system. Airbag deployment is another feature. And that is a must in the SUV. You have to check that too.
