Think you have an SUV? Apparently you're wrong

Even if you sit high on the road and tell everyone you have a crossover, that doesn't mean you drive an SUV. What are the differences and who is the 4 × 4 car maker standard in each car? The answers inside

Do you sit a little higher behind the wheel and your car is spacious, comfortable and you are not afraid to get off the asphalt with it? These characteristics may confuse you. Two words have become a hit in recent years when it comes to the automotive lexicon: the SUV and the crossover. No, it's not the same thing.

There are car settings that are not always clear to those who drive or buy a new car, and we are here to arrange for you to know the SUV and crossover. In general, a crossover is a car with SUV characteristics, but is by no means professionally defined as an SUV.

What is an SUV?

SUVs are the acronym for Sport utility vehicle, ie SUV or SUV. Sometimes its design is like a SUV and sometimes elegant and prestigious. SUVs have certain features such as a large engine compartment, large engine volume, strong chassis, towing capacity and dual propulsion (4 × 4).

Compared to the SUV, crossover cars are actually a slightly elevated passenger car but sometimes have the characteristics of an SUV, such as a differential lock or independent rack for each wheel. That is why you can sometimes travel with them in the field.

But, and this mourning is important and significant, crossover cars are not necessarily 4x4 propulsion and do not have road grip and stability that SUVs have. By any professional car manufacturer's definition, an SUV is 4 × 4 so even if you have a Jeep or a crossover vehicle, that doesn't mean it's an SUV. Because of this, an SUV provides exceptionally high ride safety thanks to the dual-propulsion, as the 4x4 spins the four wheels together, as opposed to two wheels in a standard car or in some crossover vehicles. This means that while driving on wet roads or turns and bends, the car is stable on the road.

The 4x4 vehicle has a distinct advantage in increasing the coefficient of friction in situations such as acceleration, rotation, wet road, dirty or greasy. Transmission of power to all wheels actually creates a significantly better road grip than vehicles where power is only directed to one axle. The pull ability improves wonders, because of the power flow to all wheels and each wheel can compensate for the sliding of another wheel and overcome the challenges of acceleration.

The 4 × 4 propulsion makes the SUV a car that offers more varied driving and entertainment options. Dirt trails, off-road driving and off-road offenses not only allow you to get from point A to point B safely, but also allow you to hike and spend places where a crossover double-overturned car will not reach you or you will be at risk of the car.

Subaru has made the 4 × 4 standard. It was widely believed in the past that all-wheel drive was relevant to the terrain only, the Japanese manufacturer found the benefits of such driving on the road and manufactured it from 1973. All Japanese car models are now manufactured with a dual-propulsion system and are defined as an SUV. Together with the spectacular and elegant design of the various models, it is actually a unique car manufacturer that all models fit for road and field travel and provide drivers with a comfortable and spacious passenger compartment suitable for the family as well as upgraded road capabilities, at no extra charge, unlike other car manufacturers.
