About
An SUV is a passenger vehicle built with high ground clearance, standing taller and heavier than a standard sedan.
SUV sizes range from compact crossovers to full-size models that can stretch over 18 feet (5.5 m) long. Compared to standard sedans, an SUV sits noticeably higher off the pavement to give drivers better road visibility and clearance over obstacles. This elevated cabin and reinforced frame add substantial weight, often making an SUV much heavier than a station wagon of similar length.
From Wikipedia
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.
