Is it better for shorter people to drive a sedan or an SUV?

If you are not very tall, it is not recommended to buy an SUV, as SUVs inherently have larger blind spots, which would be even more pronounced in this case. A hatchback sedan would be more suitable. Below are some additional details: 1. Considerations: When driving, forward visibility is crucial. Regardless of the vehicle type, it's important to be aware of the blind spots, specifically the areas blocked by the two pillars on either side of the windshield. The extent of obstruction at different angles and how much of the front or even the side view is covered are critical for driving safety. 2. Comparison: Compared to sedans, most SUVs have higher seating positions, which theoretically offer a more open view. However, one must not overlook the visibility through the front windshield or the impact of the two A-pillars beside it. Therefore, the choice between an SUV and a sedan should be based on visibility and vehicle size, ultimately depending on personal preference.
