Is a Jeep an SUV

Let’s face it SUVs are great due to their ability to handle most unforgiving driving conditions that most normal vehicles cant.

One of the common questions  you get get before buying a Jeep is whether or not the car can be classified as an Suv. and In this article I am going to answer exactly if a Jeep is an SUV or not.

Without further ado, lets dive in!

What is an SUV?

SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle which was first introduced in the 1930’s but became more popular when the first SUV Grand Cherokee was introduced in 1984 due to the modern aesthetics of the car.

Generally Sport Utility Vehicles are 4 wheel drive which makes them great at off roading and handling slippery surface during rain and snow season. Although nowadays you do find SUVs that are not all wheel drive.

They are also known to be very practical and spacious when compared to normal vehicles, which is a a great addition to someone looking to use an SUV is an everyday car.

The Difference Between a Normal Car and an SUV

First lets start with the vehicle appearance, more often than not it is easy to distinguish the two, normally, SUVs are Rugged, Big and very spacious whereas  normal cars tend to be a bit smaller in size (Not always).

Most SUVs are 4 wheel drive since they are built to tackle difficult driving conditions such as off roading whereas most normal cars are either front or rear wheel drive, only a small percentage of the normal cars do get a 4 wheel drive.

SUVs are much more spacious, big and practical and are great for huge families whereas a normal car is somewhat practical but ideal for a small family.

One of the things that is that is appealing with normal cars is the fact that they cost a little bit less to maintain compared to SUVs due to the nature and of the vehicle and the cost of the parts should it get broken.

One of the many things that makes SUVs appealing is they are much safer than normal cars when driving in tough weather conditions.

Is a Jeep Wrangler an SUV

Yes, a Jeep wrangler is an SUV, Wranglers are 4 wheel drive off-roading beasts. Wranglers are great at handling rough and tough surfaces and weather conditions.

Wrangler is known to be one of the most capable 4X4 vehicles in the market right, although not always practical, these off roading beasts are fun to drive and can be heavily customized to whatever suits your needs.

If you are looking for a more family friendly SUV then I would suggest you check out the Grand Cherokee instead.
