SUV is the abbreviation of SportsUtilityVehicles in English, and Chinese means sports utility vehicle. This mainly refers to those four-wheel drive off-road vehicles with avant-garde design and novel style. With the improvement of people's living standards, this kind of car is not only limited to off-road, but also widely used in urban leisure life and other purposes. In fact, modern concept off-road vehicles have been quite confused with SUVs, such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the German Mercedes-Benz M-class off-road vehicle and the cheap and good-quality South Korean Santa Fe (SantaFe), which are quite rugged and unrestrained off-road vehicles. At the same time, They are also typical representatives of SUVs.
SUV originated in the United States and is also the best-selling vehicle type in the US market in recent years. In the United States, pickups are very popular vehicles and are popular with consumers. In the 1980s, SUV was a van developed on a pickup chassis to cater to the hobbies of young white-collar workers. SUV 4-wheel drive, generally the front suspension is a sedan-type independent suspension, the rear suspension is a non-independent suspension, and the ground clearance is large. To a certain extent, it has both the comfort of a car and the off-road performance of an off-road vehicle; with MPV The multi-combination function of the multi-style seat enables the vehicle to carry both people and cargo, and has a wide driving range. In recent years, SUVs have become more comfortable, and some vehicles have the functions of luxury cars. For example, the Toyota Lexus RX300 and BMW X5 launched in 1999 are SUVs based on luxury cars.

CRV—"Urban Multifunctional Recreational Vehicle", this should be the current accurate definition of CRV.

1. The four-wheel drive principle of CRV
When it comes to driving on complex roads, it is necessary to understand the four-wheel drive of CRV. The full name of CRV's four-wheel drive is a dual-pump type real (just in time) four-wheel drive system (English: Dual Pump System REAL TIME 4WD). RealTime 4WD) evolved. To be precise, the four-wheel drive of CRV is not the four-wheel drive system of hard-core off-road vehicles in the traditional sense. It is a car that has higher passability and safety than ordinary cars on complex roads. It is an ON ROAD car. It is by no means an OFF ROAD off-road vehicle. So there is no 4WD logo on CRV.

Even the suspension system and front-wheel drive mode of the CRV determine that the CRV is not an off-road vehicle.

1. The four-wheel drive of CRV is completely mechanical. In the past, there was DX in the forum saying that it was impossible to achieve AWD by modifying the trip computer.
2. The prerequisite for the realization of CRV four-wheel drive is: the rotation speed of the front and rear wheels is inconsistent.

MPV
The concept of MPV comes from the United States and is the abbreviation of Mini Passenger Van, which is intended to be a mini passenger van (here "mini" is mainly for large vans such as Bus). Later, someone changed it to a Multi-purpose Vehicle, emphasizing its versatility. It is a car, station wagon and van. But today, all cars called MPV must be vans, which is what we commonly call vans, and they must be used for passengers. Strictly speaking, MPV is a car model mainly aimed at individual home users. Those passenger cars that are remodeled from commercial vans and targeted at group customers cannot be regarded as true MPVs. MPV space is relatively larger than that of cars of the same displacement, and there are also size specifications, but not as thin as cars. After the mid-1980s, MPV began to be popular all over the world from the United States. This kind of body design similar to a van can hold more things, and at the same time has the comfort and ease of operation of a car; In narrow Europe and Japan, manufacturers have also developed small SMPVs according to their different road conditions. According to statistics, in developed countries in Europe and America, on average, every three households have an MPV.

Hatchback sedan
To put it plainly, those with a rear "butt" are sedan, and those without a hatchback.

In layman's terms, the so-called sedan refers to the usual Santana, Jetta, and Audi A6 cars with a "nose" (engine compartment) in the front and a "butt" (backup luggage compartment) in the back; while a hatchback refers to less In addition to prominent “butt” cars, such as the Flyer, Fukang, POLO and other models that can often be seen on the street; the single-box cars that people understand mostly refer to MPV models such as Renault Scenery, Shenlong Picasso and Toyota Overlord.

From the structural point of view, if the engine compartment, passenger compartment, and reserve luggage compartment of the vehicle are all separated, and this separation is fixed and irreversible, then it should be regarded as a sedan. A hatchback refers to a vehicle with a back-up luggage compartment but no protruding body. In this case, the passenger compartment and the back-up luggage compartment are actually integrated, but separated by the rear seats. Of course, a sedan without a back-up luggage compartment can also be regarded as a regular hatchback.In the so-called single-box cars like Picasso, the engine compartment and passenger compartment are actually separated, so in a strict sense, the structure is still a hatchback.
