What do you mean by SUV?

SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. It's a type of vehicle that combines elements of a station wagon, a hatchback, and an off-road vehicle. They are typically characterized by:

* Higher ground clearance than cars, making them suitable for light off-roading or driving on rougher surfaces.

* More robust construction than cars, often with four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) options.

* More spacious interiors than cars, often with room for five or more passengers and significant cargo space.

* A boxier or more upright design compared to cars.

However, the lines between SUVs, crossovers, and even wagons are increasingly blurred, with modern SUVs often prioritizing on-road comfort and fuel efficiency over true off-road capability.
