There is no universally accepted definition of the sport utility vehicle.Dictionaries, automotive experts, and journalists use varying wordings and defining characteristics, in addition to regional variations of usage by both the media and the general public. The auto industry also has not settled on one definition of the SUV. The actual term "Spor...
Chassis
Many years after most passenger cars had transitioned to unibody construction, most SUVs continued to use a separate body-on-frame method, due to being based on the chassis from a light truck, commercial vehicle, pickup truck, or off-road vehicle. The first mass-produced unibody four-wheel-drive passenger car was the Russian 1955 GAZ-M20 Pobeda M-72, which could be considered the first crossover car. The 1977 Lada Niva was the first off-road vehicle to use both a unibody construction and a co...
Body style
SUVs are typically of a two-box design similar to a station wagon. The engine compartment is in the front, followed by a combined passenger/cargo area (unlike a sedan, which has a separate trunk/boot compartment). Up until approximately 2010, many SUV models were available in two-door body styles.Since then, manufacturers began to discontinue the two-door models as the four-door models became more popular. A few two-door SUVs remain available, such as the body-on-frame Suzuki Jimny, Mahindra...
A 2021 study by the University of Illinois Springfieldshowed that SUVs are 8 times more likely to kill children in an accident than passenger cars, and multiple times more lethal to adult pedestrians and cyclists. SUVs typically have high ground clearance and a tall body. This results in a high center of mass, which made SUVs more prone to roll-ove...
SUVs generally have poorer fuel efficiency than smaller cars, and thus contribute more to environmental degradation and global warming. SUVs emit about 700 megatonnes of carbon dioxide per year, a gas that is linked to global warming. According to the International Energy Agency, from 2010 SUVs have been the second-largest contributor to the increa...
Crossover SUV
The "crossover SUV" segment (also known as "CUVs" or simply "crossovers") has become increasingly popular since around 2010. Crossovers are often based on a platform shared with a passenger car, as a result, they typically have better comfort and fuel economy, but less off-road capability (many crossovers are sold without all-wheel drive) than pickup truck-based SUVs. The difference between crossovers and other SUVs is sometimes defined as a crossover being built using a unibody platform (the...
Mini SUV
The smallest size class of SUVs is the "mini SUV". In Japan, SUVs under 3,400 mm (133.9 in)—such as the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini—are included in the kei carcategory and therefore attract lower taxes. Many recent vehicles labeled as mini SUVs are technically subcompact crossoversand are built on the platform of a subcompact (also called supermini or B-segment) passenger car. 1. Examples: Category:Mini sport utility vehicles( 109 ) 1. Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, mini SUV 2. Suzuki Jimny, off-road mi...
Compact SUV
The "compact SUV" is the next bigger-size class after mini SUVs. Many recent vehicles labeled as compact SUVs are technically compact crossoversand are built on the platform of a compact (C-segment) passenger car. 1. Examples: Category:Compact sport utility vehicles( 234 ) 1. Nissan Xterra, compact truck-based SUV 2. Land Rover Defender 90 3. Jeep Cherokee, unibody SUV
1930s to 1948
Just before and during World War II, prototypes and low-volume production examples of military cars with sedan or station wagon-type bodies and rugged, off-road capable four-wheel drive chassis began to appear around the world. These early models included the 1936 Kurogane Type 95 from Japan, the 1938 GAZ-61 from Russia as well as the 1941 Volkswagen Kommandeurswagen and 1936 Opel Geländesportwagen from Germany. An early predecessor to the design of modern SUVs[citation needed] was the 1940 H...
1949 to 1970s
Several models of carryall wagons began to be offered with four-wheel drive, beginning in 1949 when the Willys Jeep Station Wagon introduced the option of four-wheel drive. Four-wheel-drive versions of the Chevrolet Suburban were introduced for 1955, followed by the International Harvester Travelall in 1956 (credited as being the first full-size SUV) and the Power Wagon Town Wagonin 1957. Developed as a competitor to the Jeep CJ, the compact International Harvester Scout was introduced in 196...
1980s to 1990s
The compact-sized 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is often credited as the first SUV in the modern understanding of the term. The use of unibody construction was unique at the time for a four-wheel drive and also reduced the weight of the new Cherokee. It also appealed to urban families due to having a more compact size (compared to the full-size Wagoneer and previous generation Cherokee SJ models) as well as a plush interior resembling a station wagon. As the new Cherokee became a major sales succes...
SUVs have competed in various off-road racing competitions, such as the Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup, King of the Hammers, and Australasian Safari. SUVs have also competed in the Trophee Androsice-racing series.
Several derogatory or pejorative terms for SUVs are based on the combination of an affluent suburb name and "tractor", particularly for expensive vehicles from luxury brands. Examples include "Toorak Tractor" (Melbourne, Australia), "Chelsea Tractor" (London, England) and "RemueraTractor" (Auckland, New Zealand). These terms relate to the theory th...
