Looking for a car with a high driving position?
Cars with high driving positions offer many benefits, including:
- Better visibility. A higher seating position improves the view of the road ahead and surrounding traffic.
- Accessibility. Their size and body style make cars with a high driving position easier to get in and out of. This makes them a good choice for families and people with mobility issues.
- Smooth ride. Large vehicles like SUVs are designed for driving off-road or on rough terrain (including all those pesky potholes…)
- Spacious interior. A high driving position allows for more headroom and legroom, making the car more comfortable for both driver and passengers.
