Have you been searching for your next dream car? You’ve come to the right place. Spartan Toyota specializes in helping the Lansing residents find their next affordable vehicle, and if you’re looking for a used model with plenty of style, capability and, above all, space, we think we have just the thing. The SUV body style, or Sport Utility Vehicle, meets all of those needs. Our used and Toyota Certified inventories stock a wide variety of body styles (and an even wider variety of makes and models), but the SUV offers the style you want, the performance you crave and the space you need to take on the day-to-day. Plus, safety and peace of mind aren’t too far away either. Not convinced yet? Keep scrolling to learn why we would recommend a used SUV for your next vehicle.

What Makes SUVs Different?

First, the space. Sitting on the same frame as trucks, SUVs are raised higher than smaller vehicles (like sedans or hatchbacks), which increases the ground clearance and overall dimension. Off-roading enthusiasts look for a higher ground clearance so that rough terrain won’t stop their exploring, while those who will use their SUV mainly for commutes won’t be surprised by the unexpected bump in the road. The wider frame aides in interior space, too. If equipped with a third row, your SUV becomes the family-friendly, go-to carpooler, and with those third- and second-row seats folded down, you’ll be able to fit plenty of bags, groceries and home projects in the cargo space.

But all of that extra bulk doesn’t mean that your SUV will be a gas guzzler. Many SUVs (among other body styles) are being engineered and designed with more fuel-efficient powertrains, which means your wallet — and the environment — won’t feel the strain of a sloppy engine. Many have achieved noteworthy mpg, and you might see a hybrid SUV enter our used inventory from time to time as well.

With us here at Spartan Toyota, buying used won’t break the bank.
