SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle, which is a type of car that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive. The term SUV is a loose term that traditionally covers a broad range of vehicles with four-wheel drive that can be taken off-road and have the feel of a lighter truck. SUVs were first built on a truck chassis before switching to a unibody frame where the chassis, body, and the floors were on a single structure. SUVs combine the storage and hauling of pickup trucks with the comfort of a station wagon, including large interior spaces and two or three rows of seating. While the term SUV can be applied to larger vehicles, such as the Range Rover, Chevrolet Suburban, and Jeep-like SUVs, it can also apply to smaller vehicles that dont have four-wheel drive and have a minimal capability of going off-road like the Honda CRV and crossover SUVs.
