Tips to Help You Choose the Right Luxury SUV
Lexus, we’re proud to be able to offer our customers outstanding Pre-Owned luxury SUVs as well as the very latest models, packed with innovative technology and designed for life here in the UAE. To help you choose the right luxury SUV, here are a few top tips from the team at Lexus.
- What kind of driver are you?
To choose the right luxury SUV, you need to think about the kind of driving that you do. If you stick exclusively to the tarmac then off-road features such as crawler gearing and extra-high ground clearance won’t factor highly in your consideration. However, if you’re a dedicated explorer who loves going off-road and discovering those hidden desert trails, you will need to look for an SUV that is capable of coping with more demanding terrain.
- What are your lifestyle goals?
We don't just choose to buy a luxury SUV because of the practical benefits. We buy with our hearts, too. We look for luxury cars that adhere to our lifestyle and enhance it by delivering an unforgettable driver experience every time you sit behind the wheel. If your lifestyle includes a family, an SUV that can hop between being a daily run-about for the school runs and commutes and a more capable SUV for weekend adventures is the answer. If you’re solely a city driver, a more compact SUV that’s suited to life on the streets is a better option.
- Do you have a young family?
If you have a growing family, you need a luxury SUV that will adapt and grow with you. A compact SUV such as the sublime Lexus NX has space for up to five people. However, a full-size SUV such as the Lexus GX has seven seats, making it infinitely more suitable for larger families. Both have outstanding safety features for total peace of mind, including a Pre-Crash Safety System, curtain airbags, and Lane Departure Alert.
- Are you planning on going off-road?
While full-size SUVs such as the Lexus GX and the mighty LX are designed to take on any terrain, other more compact SUVs or crossovers may not be suitable for very rough trails. The amount of off-road driving you do will have a big impact on which Lexus SUV you decide to buy. Look for additional extras on SUVs designed for off-road driving, such as the Active Height Control suspension on the LX, and that all-important Crawl Control mode that lets the onboard computer take over the throttle to control your descent or ascent across very steep or uneven ground.
- Would you prefer a more compact SUV for the city streets?
If you drive solely on tarmac roads and want something a little more compact, a crossover is the answer. Combining all the best parts of a sedan and an SUV, compact crossovers are urban explorers that are designed to cope with the city streets. They’re easier to park too, and nimble enough to nip in and out of the rush-hour traffic with ease. There is enough cargo space to pack a weekend’s worth of camping equipment for those family breaks by the beach or camping in the mountains, making crossovers an all-round choice for urban adventurers.
