Agreed that until recently frame vs unibody was a simple way to distinguish SUV vs CUV. Practically every car definition has some grey area. But as long as it is only a very small number of cars, I'm happy to ignore it. After all, there is no formal definition of SUV or CUV - both are marketing speak
851:
I would suggest the best criteria for defining a car 'crossover' would be the suspension. SUVs derived from road vehicles tend to maintain the popular torsion beam rear suspension that maximises rear load space. This layout is not very suitable for off-road vehicles. Traditional 4x4s had leaf springs
581:
This paragraph about the "first SUV" is highly subjective, and based on one very-biased person's published book. It neglects many earlier and contemporary SUV-style models, such as the Ford Bronco II and
Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, both of which were very similar to the Jeep Cherokee, and were introduced
561:
is occasionally brought up as the first. The XJ being unibody has been given as a reason for it being the first (teh Range Rover being body on frame) but I'm not sure this is a deciding factor. Many people count vehicles such as the Land
Cruiser or Lexus LX as being SUVs and these are body-on-frame.
843:
Clearly unibody is no longer an adequate criteria for considering a vehicle a crossover, as the new
Defender is unibody, but not a crossover by any stretch of the imagination. There are many other examples, such as the Renegade, which are unibody but not derived from road cars and are available in
629:
True dat. But if SUVs weren't available other cars would have been bought instead, so it's a bit of a silly claim. It's also worth pointing that SUVs were only about 1/3 as much as the biggest contributor. The entire guardian article reads like a child's essay bashing SUVs. Cars have got heavier
496:
Discussing Hybrid Gas-Electric vehicles does not really belong in this article. Especially references to specific vehicles, which sounds like advertisement. It is perhaps only relevent in terms of Fuel economy. Perhaps one when noting the poor gas millage of SUV's compared to other passenger
847:
Having 4x4 is not necessarily a good guide either. AWD is required for extra grip in mud and snow, but many people who do drive off road simply do not require that. In addition, electronic slip control and hybrid drivetrains are increasing the grip capabilities in different ways.

several years before the Jeep
Cherokee. Other predecessors include the International Scout, Toyota Landcruiser, numerous Range Rover models, and many other vehicles that didn't survive for a variety of reasons. This paragraph should be removed or rewritten.
879:
for whatever sells the vehicle. If "shitbox" became a fad label tomorrow then by the end of the week there would be 3 cars with a corresponding badge. Perhaps in a year or 2 we will make the distinction based on soft springs vs stiff springs or similar.

The pages for Truck, Van, Minivan, Car, and Bus should be referenced. There is little to no reference to hybrid gas-electric in these pages. It really is not part of the definition.

Having reviewed the entire article more thoroughtly, there appears to be a lot of focus on the 1984 Jeep
Cherokee, which looks a lot like advertising.
