我喜欢按数据说话。
第一、质量大, 刹车距离长？
看数据：
Braking distance on dry pavement from 60 to 0 mph
Shortest （Model Feet）
Sports/Sporty cars: Porsche Boxster 112
Small cars: Subaru Impreza WRX 125
Family cars: Nissan Altima 3.5 SR 128
Upscale/luxury cars: Hyundai Genesis 3.8 125
Small SUVs: Hyundai Tucson GLS 129
Midsized SUVs: Cadillac SRX Luxury 126
Acura MDX 126
Longest (Model Feet)
Sports/Sporty cars: Volvo C30 143
Small cars: Dodge Caliber SXT 149
Nissan Cube S 149
Family cars: Toyota Camry Hybrid 145
Upscale/luxury cars: Cadillac DTS Luxury II 145
Small SUVs: Jeep Liberty Sport 150
Midsized SUVs: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 150
差距不怎么大嘛！
第二条、质心高, 易翻车？
The overall driver death rate for 2005-08 models during 2006-09 was 48 per million registered vehicle years. Rates for each of the more than 150 vehicles span a huge range from 0 for 7 models to 143 for the Nissan 350Z sports car. When the rates are looked at by vehicle style, minivans have the best record with a driver death rate of 25. SUVs aren’t far behind at 28. Pickups average 52 driver deaths per million registration years. Cars average 56, but smaller cars fare worse than bigger ones. For example, 4-door minicars have a death rate of 82, compared with 46 for very large 4-doors.
“The rollover risk in SUVs used to outweigh their size/weight advantage, but that’s no longer the case, thanks to ESC,” says Anne McCartt, the Institute’s senior vice president for research. It’s not just weight that gives SUVs an advantage. It’s also their height and other factors. When cars and SUVs of similar weight are compared, the SUVs have lower death rates.
也就是说，ESC系统使SUV侧翻不再是个big concern啦。
