SUVs have become very famous as a family car in the US. A potential car buyer, before buying a sedan or a hatchback, always keeps an eye on the SUV. It's a type of car which is great at price, style and handling. At least 7 to 8 members can be seated comfortably in a SUV and the car is excellent for long drives and picnics. In addition, it also provides the owner lots of cargo space. Earlier these cars were used more as pick-up trucks and for transferring luggage from one place to another, but with good styling and impressive features, SUVs have become one of the most popular cars of the decade.
