SUV - A sport utility vehicle is a vehicle similar to a station wagon, estate car, or van usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability.
Some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or large sedan.
The original 1984 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) by American Motors combined a passenger car with truck chassis for ease of driving in difficult conditions, as well as established the modern SUV market segment.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a "sport utility vehicle" is "a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis". The "SUV" term is defined as "a large vehicle that is designed to be used on rough surfaces but that is often used on city roads or highways."
The "SUV" acronym "is still used to describe nearly anything with available all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance."
