In case you missed it, a revolution has taken place in the automotive industry not just in America but all over the globe during the last few years.
High gasoline prices, high monthly car leases, job lay-offs, busines closings and financial insecurity brought on by rigid politcal views, have reeked havoc on the American consumer and car buyer.
However, the bankruptcy of General Motors, the near collapse of Ford, the sale of Chrysler to Fiat and unending competion from German and Japanese automakers have triggered innovation in the automotive industry. Gone are grandfather's land yachts, the big Mercurys, the big Fords, the big Lincolns and the big Cadillacs and in their place are the small SUVS with 4 and 6 cylinder engines and 4-wheel and all-wheel drives that are gaining in popularity and in sales.
Despite their size, these small vehicles have a lot of innovation, luxury and sophisticated hi-tech gadgetry that make them very appealing to family oriented buyers. Just about every small SUV on the market has, as an optional choice and in some cases as standard equipment, GPS systems, satellite radios, blue tooth connection capabilities, hand-less telephone capabilities and luxurious interiors with three-seat and five passenger capacity. High gasoline prices have forced the manufacturers into developing the 4 and 6 cylinder engines that are available on these small SUVS. In turn, these small engines have lead to better gasoline gallons per mile that range from 23 mpg. in the city fior the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander to the 31 mpg. highway for the 2011 Mercury Mariner with the hybrid engine. These new small engines, along with the safety and stability added by the all-wheel and 4-wheel drive, have caught the attention of the family buyer. And, one trend that is definetly in place and bound to grow is the hybrid engine.
Prices ranging from the small, bug-like Nissan hatchback at $19,579 to the Chevrolet Equinox with a $22,000 starting price to the highly-rated 2011 Toyota Rav-4 with a starting price of $33,000 with a 4-wheel drive, 3.5 litre V-6 engine are alsoo appealing to the pocketbooks of the family interested in buying a small SUV. As for actual small suv models reviews,complete product listings and full pricing information, the internet is loaded with this sort of information.
One key piece of information that every buyer should look at is the warranty on both the engine and powertrain. It's important to know what manufacturer is willing to stand by his product and for how long and for how much?
