Benefits of Big Family Cars
Benefits of Big Family Cars
If you’re currently looking for a new car, it’s important to consider what a bigger car could offer you.
But why are bigger cars becoming so popular? As proud manufacturers of an award-winning range of SUVs
and family cars
, at Kia, we understand the different ways that bigger cars can enhance your driving experience. Let’s explore the numerous benefits of big cars and why they’re becoming a firm family favourite.
Space
One of the most obvious benefits of bigger cars is the extra space they offer. Big family vehicles provide more room in all dimensions, including greater leg and headroom, a roomier cabin and a larger boot.
Bigger cars, such as SUVs often also boast more seats, and some can comfortably accommodate up to 7 people. The all-electric EV9 has 7 seats, which includes second-row swivel seats, so you can create your own sociable and interactive space. The EV9
, as well as the EV6
, also uses our new Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). With a long wheelbase design and flat-floor architecture, our E-GMP
grants an even more spacious and user-friendly cabin.
It goes without saying that, for families, the additional space that SUVs and big boot cars offer is a significant advantage. Whether you’re transporting more passengers or extra luggage, a larger car makes for elevated comfort and greater overall practicality.
Safety
Many modern SUVs are also fitted with intelligent and autonomous functions designed to improve active safety. All Kia SUVs
come with a suite of driver assistance technologies
and safety features, from anti-collision to parking assist
, so you always feel confident behind the wheel.
Off-road capabilities
If you enjoy off-road driving a big SUV is your best option. Thanks to their higher suspension and, for most SUVs, 4-wheel drive (4WD), big cars have better traction on slippery surfaces and off-road terrain.
Big electric vehicles and family EVs are also known for their impressive grip and traction in adverse conditions, as their additional weight grants a lower centre of gravity.
Elevated driving position
If you’re driving a bigger car for the first time, the elevated driving position will probably be one of the first things you notice. Because big SUVs tend to have high suspension and taller bodies than hatchbacks
or saloon cars, they sit higher off the ground.
This is often referred to as having a ‘higher ground clearance’ and gives the driver, and occupants, an elevated seating position. Many drivers prefer the elevated position as it provides better visibility and increased road presence, as well as easier access for people with reduced mobility.
