Used SUVs: The Go-To Choice for Everyday Drivers

The possibilities available to today’s everyday driver appear limitless, which might make choosing the right one for you somewhat daunting. For instance, you might consider a commuter car for your morning drive into Cincinnati or a truck that allows you and the family to enjoy the great outdoors on the weekend. However, when it comes to adaptability, functionality, and overall value, a used SUV is frequently the best option. Even better? When you shop for used SUVs for sale in Cincinnati, you’ll get the support of our McCluskey Chevrolet team.

Our team will take the time to listen to your needs and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also ask a few or our own to make sure we’re on the right page. From there, we can narrow down your options to ensure a stress-free and hassle-free shopping experience. Not only are SUVs the best-selling vehicle type in the nation, but finding the right one from our used inventory offers you a number of benefits. So, let’s review those benefits as well as what used SUV options rank the best…

What Benefits Come From Buying a Used SUV?

What matters most to you when purchasing a new-to-you vehicle is a matter of preference, but there are a few benefits that everyone will enjoy. First, the affordability of a used SUV is among the strongest arguments in favor of buying used. Within the first few years of ownership, new cars depreciate quickly and frequently lose a large amount of their value. This means that you could save money by buying a used SUV and avoiding the early depreciation hit. This also means that you could put the money you save toward buying a higher trim level, extra features, or just keeping it in your pocket for other needs.

Additionally, manufacturers emphasize longevity and dependability in their designs, making modern SUVs long-lasting vehicles. This emphasis gives you added peace of mind when shopping for a used SUV, as there are several options available that still have quite a bit of life left in them. Essentially, a used SUV could give you years of trustworthy service with the right upkeep, making it the perfect option for the average motorist looking for a car they can rely on. Our team can help with this upkeep as well when you access preventative maintenance through our state-of-the-art service center.

Beyond these two benefits, you’ll also gain a lot of freedom when you purchase a used SUV. Such models are renowned for their adaptability, providing lots of room for cargo and passengers, comfortable seating options, and strong performance in a range of driving scenarios. Plus, an SUV can easily adjust to your needs, whether you’re loading it up with hiking gear for a day at the Cincinnati Nature Center, running errands around town, or commuting to work. At the end of the day, a used SUV is a sensible option for daily use since it can perform a variety of jobs.

Also, you’ll find a long list of advanced safety measures on many SUV models, which expands your peace of mind and gives you more confidence during the drive. Also, given the fact that Certified Pre-Owned SUVs are subject to extensive examinations and frequently have extended warranties, the choice to buy used makes even more sense.

What SUVs Stand Out Against the Rest?

Now that you know some of the benefits you’ll receive when purchasing a used SUV, you might wonder what the best options are. You’ll find the information you need below as we explore options from the past few years that check many of today’s drivers’ needs…

Chevrolet Traverse

If you’re looking for a used SUV, the Chevy Traverse is a great option because it blends flexibility, comfort, and dependability. It also gives you and your passengers generous interior space and a seating capacity of up to eight people, which is perfect when you have a large group carpooling to Paycor Stadium. Additionally, with the second and third rows folded down, your cargo space increases, giving you the ability to haul whatever you might need. The Traverse is also known for having a smooth and comfortable ride, which makes long road trips or daily commutes a pleasure. This is thanks, in part, to its well-tuned suspension system.

Chevrolet also offers many advanced safety features, from Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking to Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. These technologies not only help prevent accidents but also give you confidence during the drive. Speaking of technology, you’ll also find advanced connectivity and convenience throughout the Traverse, allowing everyone in the SUV to enjoy the ride even more.

Also, the bowtie brand has a reputation for making reliable and long-lasting cars, and the Traverse is no different. With our factory-trained technicians by your side, your Traverse should last for many years, making it a great investment.

Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is another great option when shopping for a used SUV. While it’s smaller than the Traverse, it still offers the reliability that today’s drivers need. Plus, Honda’s long history of reliability and quality supports buying used. The Honda CR-V is continuously at the top of the list when looking at the “most popular SUVs.” One reason for this is its fuel efficiency, as this can save you a lot of money over time, especially if you plan to use your SUV for long trips or everyday commutes.

Like the Traverse, the CR-V’s interior is roomy and well-designed, with plenty of space for people and cargo alike. However, the CR-V does not offer a third row, which is something to consider if you routinely need extra seating. Still, the second row’s 60/40 split-folding gives you easy access to cargo. Additionally, the cabin is well-designed with easy-to-use settings and an infotainment system that makes the whole driving experience better.

The Honda CR-V also offers a wide range of safety features, much like the Traverse, and since Honda’s tend to hold their value well, the CR-V is a good investment. Finally, you’ll find that the CR-V is quite agile, able to navigate the parking garages at The Banks with ease or move in and out of traffic so you can quickly get through downtown and on your way. It can even handle light off-road trips, although the Traverse might be a better option if this is a must for your driving needs.

Chevrolet Trax

Another option to consider when looking at our used SUV inventory is the Chevy Trax. It is the smallest of the three options offered here, but you still get the elevated driving position that is often at the top of the list when drivers consider an SUV. At the same time, the smaller footprint lets you zip in and out of traffic and take advantage of smaller parking spots.

The Chevrolet Trax was redesigned a few years ago, which resulted in modern styling and advanced technologies in both safety and connectivity. This redesign also earned the Trax good crash safety scores, which is another check in its favor. Additionally, you’ll enjoy the fuel efficiency it offers. Something else to consider is that while it’s the smallest of the three, Chevy makes the most of the space, giving you multiple storage options throughout the vehicle as well as generous seating for five.

In addition to these three options, you’ll find plenty more at our dealership, which increases the chances that you’ll find exactly what you need. You can search our inventory online to get started or stop by and talk to your team when you’re ready to find the right used SUV for your needs.
