Did you know that small-midsize SUVs have become one of the most sought-out car styles in Birmingham?

  • It features plenty of power plugs so you won’t have to hear whining in the backseat that an iPad or phone lost its charge. 
  • It comes with a hands-free, power lift gate—a perk you don’t realize is so incredible until your arms are filled with a baby, groceries and all the other things that life and children throw at you. 
  • Cargo space is more than generous. Whether toting kids around Birmingham to school, sports practice or other activity, you’re definitely going to need the room!
