Car Body Styles: Deciding on Your Next Vehicle

When you browse the new inventory of vehicles at Sam Leman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Bloomington, do you wonder, what is the difference between an SUV and a sedan? Or, what is a coupe car? While it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between an SUV and a sedan, other car body style comparisons take more work. If you’d like to learn more about the difference between an SUV and a sedan, let the team at Sam Leman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Bloomington help with our body style guide.

 

Sedan

A sedan is one of the most common vehicles on the road. Its four-door design and traditional trunk make for a versatile vehicle that anyone can appreciate, from Normal families to high-mileage commuters in Champaign. Ranging in size from the compact to full-size, it’s easy to find a good match that blends maneuverability with spaciousness. One of our favorites is the Dodge Charger, a bold and sporty sedan.

 

Coupe

The coupe may appear similar to the sedan at first glance, but this 2-door model has a trunk and solid roof – which leads to a sleek, stylish profile. The Dodge Challenger is a great example of a modern coupe with a lot of personality.

 

Crossover (CUV)

What’s the difference between a CUV and SUV? The crossover, or CUV, is a compact utility vehicle that offers a more streamlined look with plenty of pep under the hood. These smaller vehicles offer more space than a sedan with a smooth performance. Look into the Jeep Compass lineup for your crossover needs.

 

SUV

Sports Utility Vehicles, or SUVs, are taller and boxier than sedans and CUVs. This means they have better ground clearance, elevated setting positions, and lots of extra cargo – perfect for adventure-seekers in Decatur. Why not explore the Jeep Grand Cherokee for your next off-road trip?

 

Minivan

The quintessential family car, modern minivans are more powerful and high-tech than ever before – while retaining the incredible spaciousness that has made them so popular with parents. Featuring sliding doors, adjustable seating, and large cargo boxes, minivans like the Chrysler Pacifica are made for busy families.

 

Truck

A truck has an open cargo bed out back and a passenger cab in the front, along with rugged features SCA performance, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive for off-road power. If you’re in the market for an unbeatable pickup, the RAM 1500 and 2500 are excellent options.
