SUV: Sport Utility Vehicle
SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. It is a specific type of four wheeler vehicle having the features of off road vehicles which is capable of driving on gravel surface with the ride height (the space between the tyre and axle). It can be run in all types of roads like Highways, City Roads, forest Roads, Country side and farmland. It is designed in a way to provide very spacious interior and sturdy exterior.
The predecessors to SUVs date back to military and low-volume models from the late 1930s, and the four-wheel drive station wagons and carryalls that began to be introduced in 1949. The 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) is considered to be the first SUV in the modern style.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the popularity of SUVs greatly increased, often at the expense of the popularity of large sedans and station wagons.
SUVs are currently the world’s largest automotive segment and accounted for 36.8% of the world’s passenger car market in 2017.
