10 Advantages of SUVs You Should Know Before Buying

SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) have become an increasingly popular choice for various groups, from young families to active professionals. Not without reason, SUVs offer the ideal combination of a tough design, spacious cabin, and reliable performance across different road conditions. Compared to other types of cars, SUVs can provide a greater sense of safety, comfort, and flexibility in one complete package. It’s no wonder this type of vehicle is increasingly in demand, including in the Indonesian automotive market.

In this article, we’ll review the 10 main advantages of SUVs you should consider before purchasing your dream car. Each point is discussed not only in general but also directly related to Chery’s flagship products as an automotive brand that continues to strengthen its reputation through modern design, the latest technology, and impressive driving performance.

1. Rugged and Commanding Design

The exterior design is the first impression that attracts someone to a car, and SUVs are known for their sturdy and commanding appearance. Bold body lines, high stance, and aggressive front fascia design create a strong and masculine image.

Chery SUVs such as the OMODA 5 feature a futuristic design concept with a frameless grille, boomerang-shaped slim DRLs, and aerodynamic body curves without losing their toughness.

2. Spacious and Comfortable Cabin

Another advantage of SUVs is their spacious cabin, a key point for families and drivers who prioritize comfort. Chery designs all its SUVs with roomy, ergonomic cabin layouts, soft-touch materials, AC vents in every row, and electric seat adjustments for a relaxed and comfortable ride.

3. Larger Passenger and Cargo Capacity

SUVs are perfect for those who often travel with many passengers or large cargo. With seating configurations for 5 to 7 passengers, as in 6 Tiggo series variants and 4 Omoda series variants, Chery SUVs can comfortably accommodate large families.

4. Powerful Performance on All Terrains

One of the main reasons SUVs are loved is their ability to handle various terrains, from smooth city roads to rocky or semi-off-road tracks. This is made possible by high ground clearance and durable suspension systems.

The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max, for example, has ground clearance up to 230 mm, ideal for off-road conditions.

5. Complete Safety and Security Features

Modern SUVs offer more comprehensive safety features than most vehicle types. Chery models come equipped with the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) including Lane Departure Warning, Front Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, and the Chery Omoda E5 even offers 17 ADAS features.

They also include 360° to 540° cameras, parking sensors, and 6–10 airbags. Models like the Tiggo 7 Pro, Omoda 5 and 5 GT, Tiggo Cross, Tiggo 8 Pro Max, and Tiggo 8 CSH have earned Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) certification.

6. All-Round Comfort

SUVs provide complete driving comfort — from stability on the road to easy operation of advanced features. Chery includes modern conveniences such as wireless charging, driver and passenger massage seats (Tiggo 8 CSH), panoramic sunroof, digital dual-zone AC, and large touchscreen infotainment with smartphone connectivity.

7. Modern and Luxurious Interior

Chery offers premium cabins with digital interfaces, ambient lighting, minimalist gear levers, wood panels, and leather materials that deliver both visual appeal and comfort.

8. Advanced Driving Technology

From ADAS to 360°/540° cameras and smart driving features, Chery integrates advanced systems in almost all models, like the Tiggo 8 Pro Max and Omoda 5 GT, enhancing safety and comfort in real time.

9. Flexible Variants to Suit Needs

Chery caters to various preferences with petrol, hybrid, and full-electric options — from the Tiggo 7 Pro for urban users, Tiggo 8 CSH for hybrid efficiency, to the Omoda E5 for electric driving.

10. Long-Term Investment Value

SUVs tend to have high durability and strong resale value, especially with good after-sales support. Chery offers up to a 10-year engine warranty and a lifetime battery warranty (for EVs), making them a profitable long-term choice.

Are SUVs Suitable for City Driving? 

Yes, many modern SUVs are designed with comfort and fuel efficiency for daily city use. Some even feature automatic parking and small turning radius for navigating tight urban streets.

Are SUVs Suitable for Small Families? 

Absolutely, especially 5-seater or 7-seater models with spacious cabins, full entertainment features, and ample luggage space.

Chery’s SUV lineup excels in every aspect — from futuristic design and advanced driving tech to diverse powertrain options. Experience the comfort and performance yourself by visiting your nearest dealer and book a test drive.
