|---|---|---|---|
| Body: | Estate car / wagon | Crossover / SUV | |
| Crossovers and SUVs have better off-road capabilities (higher ground clearance, can have 4x4 drive), they are preferable for driving on unpaved roads and rural areas. Also, the driver's seating position is higher in a crossover or SUVs, which provides better visibility also in city. This usually comes at the cost of higher fuel consumption, increased weight and higher maintenance costs. | |||
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 1.6 Hybrid | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Hybrid engines (Peugeot 308) offer better fuel economy and lower emissions than petrol engines, especially in city driving with frequent stops. Petrol (Suzuki Vitara) engines, however, are typically less expensive to buy and maintain, and offer more consistent performance on highways. | |||
