Not too long ago, SUVs were thought of as vehicles only for big, adventurous families. While they definitely still are, there are also a wide range of SUVs that will work for practically every stage of life.

First-Time Car Owners

If you are buying a car for the first time, there are lots of affordable, compact SUV models that you can choose from. For example, the Chevrolet Trax comes in a small size that make it easy to drive, while still giving you lots of room for some gear and some friends. Or, consider the Ford EcoSport. This small model will give you a comfortable ride and lots of technology.

New Parents

Whether you have just had your first baby, or just adopted a new fur baby from the local shelter, you want to make sure your new family is protected. The GMC Terrain has a spacious cargo area that can hold all your new baby gear or even a pet carrier. The Ford Escape and Chevrolet Equinox would also be great choices.

Growing Families

Now that your family has grown beyond just a single child, you want a vehicle that can grow with you. A three-row SUV gives you the versatility of stowing away the seats when you need more cargo or being able to bring along the whole crew. The GMC Acadia is available with seating for five, six, or seven, while you will never be short on space in the bold Ford Flex. If you choose something like the Chevrolet Tahoe, it will give you tons of space and strong capabilities so you can tow along your family’s new toys.

Empty Nesters

When all your kids have grown and moved out on their own, it is time to explore all that life has to offer. You want a vehicle that can help give you all the adventures you want. The Ford Edge or Chevrolet Blazer will do great at maximizing your luggage space and is a comfortable ride when you want to take your grandkids out.
