Hey, lemme tell ya somethin’ about them SUVs, but, uh, with sliding doors. You ever seen one of those? Most folks don’t really think of SUVs and sliding doors goin’ together, but there’s some good reason why folks are startin’ to like the idea.
Why No Real SUV Got Sliding Doors?
Now, ya might be wonderin’, “Why ain’t there just more of them SUVs with sliding doors?” Well, thing is, SUV makers, they mostly focus on makin’ them big ol’ rugged rides for off-road and all that. Real SUVs, ya know, they got them swing-open doors, ‘cause that’s how it’s been for ages. But, turns out, sliding doors got some charm too, specially for us folks with big families or a bunch of stuff to haul ‘round. With a sliding door, ya just slide it back, hop right in, none of that tight squeeze in a parkin’ spot.
What Vehicles Got Them Sliding Doors?
Let’s be clear, not a lotta true SUVs got them sliding doors yet. Mostly, it’s minivans or MPVs (that’s a fancy name for somethin’ like a van but looks a bit tougher). So ya got things like the Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey, which, they’re technically not SUVs, but more like vans. But they’re popular for families ‘cause ya can pile in all the kids and cargo, easy as pie.
Then there’s Toyota Century. Now that one’s a special one – mostly sold in Japan, and it’s fancy, real high-end. They’ve made a new SUV version, and what’s shockin’ is they slapped a sliding door on it, which ain’t somethin’ ya see every day on a luxury SUV! But this Century, it’s not for off-roadin’ or none of that wild stuff; it’s made more for bein’ driven ‘round in style.
Benefits of Sliding Doors on SUVs
- Easy to Get In and Out: Imagine you’re squeezin’ into a tight spot – swingin’ them big ol’ SUV doors open’s a hassle. With a slide, it’s smooth like butter. Just slide it open, pop right in or out, simple as that.
- Great for Kids and Cargo: Families know what I’m sayin’. Them sliding doors are perfect for gettin’ the little ones in, or haulin’ bags of groceries, or loadin’ up for a trip. No need to worry ‘bout bangin’ another car in a tight parkin’ lot either.
- Stylish and Modern: Now, I know it might sound funny, but a sliding door can actually look real nice on a big SUV. It gives the car a kinda sleek, modern look that’s different from what folks usually expect from SUVs.
What Could Come Next?
So, even though ya don’t see many SUVs with sliding doors yet, folks are talkin’. Automakers, they know there’s a whole bunch of people who’d be interested if they made more SUVs with these doors. Families, folks with big groups, or anyone who just wants a bit more convenience in their big car, they’re all curious. And you know, with more electric SUVs comin’ out, like that fancy Volkswagen ID, maybe we’ll see more of ‘em takin’ on the sliding door idea.
Some Popular Models with Sliding Doors (But Ain’t Real SUVs)
- Kia Carnival – Not quite an SUV, but it’s tough, looks sharp, and it’s got them easy slide doors.
- Honda Odyssey – Folks say it’s real roomy and perfect for families. It’s a van but does the job right.
- Toyota Century SUV – Now this one’s a fancy one, not for everyone, but it’s the only one lookin’ like a real SUV with a slide door.
Would an SUV with Sliding Doors Be Popular?
Well, folks might take a likin’ to ‘em if they ever start poppin’ up more. It’s practical, it’s easy, and with more folks needin’ big cars for big families, who knows? SUVs with sliding doors could be the next big thing. Ain’t nobody sayin’ it’s gonna happen for sure, but it ain’t off the table neither. If ya ask me, it’s about time we see somethin’ new like that, eh?
So, next time ya think of gettin’ a family car, maybe consider these ones with sliding doors. They might not be true SUVs, but they sure make life a whole lot easier for them day-to-day runs!
