Remember when you first got your driver's license? You really didn't care what you drove, how big it was, or what it looked like. Now that you're a bit older, factors like comfort, cargo space, and maybe even room for a family are important. Knowing the kinds of body styles available at your Baltimore Subaru dealership makes it easier to find the right fit when you visit Heritage Subaru Catonsville.
Coupe
A coupe like the 2017 Subaru BRZ complements its sporty performance with a bit of panache by way of its design. Since the roof line starts to taper off right behind the front seats, a coupe has a dashing look, but not much by way of rear headroom. In fact, even though some coupes will seat three in the back, the Subaru BRZ has a 2+2 layout, where the rear seats only two passengers.
Sedan
For decades, sedans were the stereotypical family car. There's a good reason for that. Unlike a coupe, a sedan like the 2017 Subaru Legacy has a straighter roof line and four doors. If you're carrying passengers or trying to wrangle a car seat, a sedan is a much better fit -- literally -- than a coupe.
Hatchback
Like a sedan, a hatchback offers plenty of passenger room and easy access. Unlike a sedan, a hatch like the 2017 Subaru Impreza 5-Door offers much more cargo room. Instead of a trunk, the roof line continues to the rear of the vehicle, where the fifth door (the hatch) is located. If you want cargo space without the bulk of an SUV or crossover, a hatchback strikes a happy medium.
Crossover
On the other hand, sometimes you need both the extra space and the ride height, and when that's the case, only a crossover like the 2017 Subaru Forester will do. Unlike an SUV (which uses body-on-frame construction), crossovers use unibody architecture like a car would, and drive more like a car because of it.
Subaru Outback
While "Outback" isn't quite a body style, the 2017 Subaru Outback is clearly in a class by itself. Originally based on the Subaru Impreza wagon, it combines the best of a station wagon and a crossover. There's ample cargo space, higher ground clearance, and all-wheel drive, all in a package that's fun to drive and easy to park. Quirky, tough, and fun, it's come to epitomize the Subaru brand.
With all-wheel drive standard on most models, plus legendary reliability and go-anywhere spirit, it's no surprise that new Subaru cars and crossovers are so popular. The best way to choose the right one is to put some thought into your daily drive, and then get to your Baltimore Subaru dealership for a test drive. Heritage Subaru Catonsville is located at 6624 A Baltimore National Pike in Baltimore, MD and we're looking forward to seeing you!
