Whether it is comfortable to drive a sedan or an SUV is really an eternal topic. Just like whether tofu brain is sweet or salty, netizens are generally divided into two factions.

Today, we will make a professional comparison from multiple angles and tell you who is more comfortable to drive, a sedan or an SUV?

If you ride or drive for a long time, the car is actually more comfortable, which is completely different from what some people take for granted. The same is to drive 500 kilometers long distance, driving a car does not feel tired, but driving an SUV will feel a little back pain.

Many people subconsciously think that the riding space of an SUV should be larger, but in fact, this statement is not accurate, and the advantage of an SUV is actually more in the loading capacity than in the riding space. In terms of legroom, SUVs and sedans in the same class are almost the same, and even sedans are slightly better. In terms of headroom, although the SUV has a higher body, the sitting position is also higher, and the headroom is also almost the same. If you have any doubts, you can compare the ride space of the Camry and Highlander, and I believe you will have the answer.

Although the ride space is almost the same, it is an SUVBecause of the need to consider a certain off-road performance, in order to adapt to off-road needs, the seat position is higher and the sitting position is relatively more upright.The ride has a better sense of openness. The driver's sitting position is also very different from that of driving an SUV and driving a sedan, because the sedan sits in a low position, driving a sedan is a bit like sitting on a sofa, with the legs stretched forward to step on the accelerator.

The SUV has a higher sitting position, and driving an SUV is like sitting on a high stool, with more vertical legs.If you drive for a long time, the driver's waist and neck are under more pressure, and it is easy to feel tired after a long time.

Secondly, control and stability also affect the comfort of long distances. Obviously, the sedan has better control and stability. Due to the low body and low center of gravity, the car looks like it is driving against the ground from a distance, so it is more stable, more solid, and has less wind resistance at high speeds. This makes it more fuel-efficient on long journeys and reduces driver fatigue. Even in the event of strong winds or large curves, the attitude of the body changes less, and the shaking of the passengers in the car is also small, making it more comfortable.

In terms of chassis and suspension tuning, the comfort of the sedan is stronger at the same price, which is reflected in these two aspects.

One is the roll aspect,SUVs have higher ground clearance, that is, the chassis is higher, and the height of the whole car is also higher.SUVs have poor cornering stability due to their higher center of gravity, and the roll is more pronounced when cornering.SUVs always have to consider the attributes of off-road, and at the same time, they need to take into account comfort, and they also need to have the ability to deal with bad roads, so the suspension tuning will not focus entirely on comfort, it will be relatively tough, and the comfort is not as good as that of a sedan.

Another aspect is the suspension, SUV due to the high center of gravity, in order to ensure safety, usually the suspension will be tuned to be stiff to suppress roll, while sedans do not have this problem.

Therefore, if you run long distances and drive for a long time, the car must be more comfortable.
