A sports utility vehicle is a generic marketing term for a vehicle similar to a station wagon.

Although designs vary, SUVs have historically been mid-size passenger vehicles with a body-on-frame chassis similar to that found on light trucks.

Most SUVs are designed with an engine compartment, a combined passenger and cargo compartment, and no dedicated trunk such as in a station wagon body. Most mid-size and full-size SUVs have three rows of seats with a cargo area directly behind the last row of seats.

Bodies of SUVs have recently become more aerodynamic, but the sheer size and weight keeps their fuel economy poor.

Early SUVs were descendants from commercial and military vehicles such as the World War II Jeep and Land Rover.

SUVs have been popular for many years with rural buyers due to their off-road capabilities.
