You don’t always need to go for the cheapest SUV models in order to save money. Some of the cheapest SUVs on the market are also some of the most expensive when you consider depreciation, maintenance and fuel costs over a five-year period. A cheaper car might be more affordable in the long run! This is just as important to remember as choosing the proper wheel size for Jeep.
