A sport utility vehicle, or SUV, is a passenger
vehicle which combines the towing capability
of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying
space of a sedan. Some SUV's seat 8 or more
people making them an alternative to two separate
vehicles. Most SUVs are designed with a roughly
square cross-section, an engine compartment,
a combined passenger and cargo compartment,
and no dedicated trunk. Most mid-size and full-size
SUVs have seven or more seats, and a cargo area
directly behind the last row of seats. Compact
SUVs and mini SUVs, such as the Toyota RAV4
and Suzuki Vitara, may have five or fewer seats.
It is known in some countries as an off-road
vehicle or four-wheel drive, often abbreviated
to 4WD or 4x4, and pronounced "four-by-four".
However, not all SUVs have four-wheel drive
capabilities. Conversely, not all 4WD passenger
vehicles are SUVs, and not all SUV's feature
4wd .
