Choosing the Right Body Type
Consider Your Daily Commute
If you drive long distances daily, a sedan or EV will save you thousands in fuel costs each year. SUVs and trucks consume 30-60% more fuel on average.
Think About Resale Value
Trucks and SUVs hold their value best over 5 years. Sedans depreciate fastest, while EVs are improving as demand grows and charging infrastructure expands.
Factor in Total Cost of Ownership
The sticker price is just the beginning. Insurance, maintenance, fuel, and depreciation can add $5,000-$15,000 per year depending on the segment.
Match the Vehicle to Your Lifestyle
Families with kids may benefit most from minivans or three-row SUVs. Weekend adventurers might prefer trucks. City commuters should consider compact sedans or EVs.
