The safety record of SUVs has long had an impact on the economy. Even though the SUVs are designed to be safer, the designs themselves, cost drivers more than safety itself. SUVs are built to look tough, with higher bumpers and bigger sizes. This results in more deaths. Their higher bumpers, when impacted into another vehicle, can actually impact the drivers of the other vehicle and not the vehicle itself. This results in more deaths, higher insurance rates and more lawsuits filed.

The key differences between SUVs and sedans lie in their size, shape, and design. SUVs are typically larger, taller, and have a higher ground clearance compared to sedans. This impacts their performance by giving SUVs better off-road capabilities and more interior space for passengers and cargo. Additionally, SUVs often have a higher seating position, providing better visibility on the road.
