Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)

A type of passenger vehicle that combines the load-hauling and versatility of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of an estate car. They tend to have boxy, off-roader styling, whether they can tackle serious conditions or not.

Models include the luxurious Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Range Rover, Jeep Cherokee and Nissan X-Trail.
