Is the Prado suitable for urban commuting?
1 Answers
The Prado is not suitable for urban commuting. Poor handling: As anyone who has driven a rugged SUV like the Prado knows, it feels like sailing a boat, swaying and wobbling. Low comfort: The core of a rugged SUV is its body-on-frame construction, which is what makes it tough. High fuel consumption: To ensure off-road capability, rugged SUVs generally opt for larger displacement engines. Summary: For urban commuting, urban SUVs are more suitable than rugged SUVs. However, when it comes to off-roading, urban SUVs are no match for rugged SUVs. The characteristics of rugged SUVs are that they can handle both urban commuting and off-road adventures, but they fall short in comfort, fuel efficiency, and handling compared to urban SUVs. On the other hand, urban SUVs are not capable of off-roading.
