Why Sedans are dying?
Unfortunately, it is a fact. Those family sized sedans that are typically used to get to work are dying. All the American companies: Ford, Chevy, Dodge and the companies associated with them don't make sedans anymore, and if they do, they are luxury/sport that is not fit for a typical family sedan. The Japanese manufactures such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan do still sell sedans but even Nissan have reduced their line up to prebuilt Versa's and the new Sentra. The Maxima and Altima, all gone. The use for a family sedan has been overtaken by the SUV space. SUVs in hindsight have more practicality and are bigger for a slight bigger price. For the case of Ford's Escape, Jeep's Compass, and Chevy's Trailblazer or really any entry SUV vs a mid or high-end sedan are similar in realistic size but have more internal space. This more space has the downsides of slight lower MPG, and slightly higher price tag.
Camry VS RAV4
Similar to how we were just talking about, two gentle comparisons are the Rav4 to the Camry, both have recently had a redesign within the last two years, and when the new designs came out the vehicles have been flying off the shelves. While the two are very comparable there are a couple of things that the RAV has that the Camry can't compare. Number one, towing capability, the RAV4 has the potential to have a tow receiver mounted for towing. It won't be as much as a truck but its more than the Camry could ever get. Another little thing is the digital key capabilities, which includes Apple Car Keys. There are a couple of other things but not big. For both of these fully loaded the Camry comes out at about $45,000 and the RAV4 is about $47,000. The MPG isn't that different either being 47 over 43 Camry to RAV. Maybe for a couple of years a Sedan is perfectly fine, but long term it might be better to have the extra space, towing capacity, and a couple more premium features to sweeten the deal.
