SUV
意味: Sport Utility Vehicle — a large, high-riding vehicle that has become the dominant family car in America.
SUVs took over America in the 1990s-2000s and never left. Originally rugged off-road vehicles, they evolved into luxury family haulers that rarely see a dirt road. The term has become shorthand for America's love of big vehicles. Whether you see them as practical family cars or gas-guzzling status symbols depends on your perspective.

起源と歴史
The term 'sport utility vehicle' was coined in the 1980s by automakers, though the vehicle type existed earlier. SUVs exploded in popularity during the 1990s, driven by American preference for larger vehicles and a fuel tax loophole that classified them as light trucks.
