How to choose your next Honda vehicle in St. John’s, NL
Should you get a Honda sedan or a large vehicle like an SUV? It is a difficult choice, but hopefully, our guide will help you navigate the waters of shopping for your next Honda vehicle here in St. John’s, NL. Below, we’ll discuss the benefits of choosing a sedan or an SUV so that you can make an informed choice.
The benefits of choosing a Honda sedan over an SUV
Sedans, also called cars, are budget-friendly vehicles. Due to their smaller size, they use fewer materials and cost less as a result. Furthermore, sedans are lightweight, which means that it usually takes less fuel to power them. For you, that means fewer stops at the gas station or less expensive trips to the gas station at least. You’ll save money at our dealership and potentially save money over the long run by choosing a sedan.
The benefits of choosing a large Honda model such as an SUV, truck, or minivan
There are three larger varieties of passenger vehicles, namely SUVs, trucks, and minivans. There are different benefits for each, but the main benefits of choosing a large vehicle, in general, are that you can tow heavier weights, travel with more passengers, and fit more cargo. Plus, larger vehicles tend to come away better-off after vehicle crashes due to their size.

What’s the difference between the Honda Civic Sedan and Honda Civic Hatchback?
The difference between the 2021 Honda Civic Sedan and the 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback is that the Hatchback model offers an expanded rear cargo area. This affects the exterior style of the vehicle as well as the maximum cargo capacity of the vehicle. Passenger space is not impacted.
The maximum cargo volume of the 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback with rear seats folded down is 1308.2 L. The 2021 Honda Civic Sedan has a maximum cargo volume of up to 428 L. A hatchback vehicle is a good compromise if you want more space without being as big as an SUV.
How to choose between Honda trucks, vans, and SUVs
If you know how many people you regularly travel with, then you’ll have a good idea of which vehicle category will work best for you. The Honda Ridgeline can hold up to five passengers, making it the same as most sedans. Like a car, it is laid out with two front seats and three rear seats. If you travel with more passengers, or your passengers like to have more room to spread out, then a Honda van or Honda SUV might be a better choice.
Trucks, vans, and SUVs all have ample storage space, but trucks arguably have the most accessible storage space. You can haul and tow a lot in a truck, which make them a great option for road-trips, camping trips, and odd jobs.
