A sports utility vehicle is often characterized as a robust 4-wheel drive capable of traversing rugged terrains. The surge in their popularity can be attributed to numerous factors such as safety features, spaciousness, fuel economy, among other reasons. This rising demand has, in turn, motivated large SUV producers to develop superior and larger SUVs to cater to their customer base.
