“某马新出的迷你SUV可帅气啦,绝对是居家出行的好选择。”是不是经常听到大家说这样的话呢?你还误以为SUV是家用车的意思?不知道SUV的意思你可真是要OUT啦!
SUV is a vehicle similar to a station wagon, but built on a light-truck chassis. It is usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on- or off-road ability, and with some pretension or ability to be used as an off-road vehicle.
SUV,sport utility vehicle,运动型多用途车,也叫做运动休旅车,是一种同时提供旅行车(station wagon)的惬意和货卡车的牵引力和越野能力(off-road ability)的车型。
SUV可有一个彪悍的爷爷,鼻祖是(Hummer)悍马车,和美国Jeep(吉普车),原来都是户外工程所有。
The term is not used in all countries, and outside North America the terms "off-road vehicle", "four-wheel drive" or "four-by-four" (abbreviated to "4WD" or "4x4") or simply use of the brand name to describe the vehicle like "Jeep" or "Land Rover" are more common.
SUV这个术语并不是在所有国家都使用的。出了北美洲之外,许多国家使用“越野车”、“四轮驱动车”来表示SUV车型,或者直接用“吉普”或者“路虎”等品牌来表示。
现在你知道SUV是什么意思了吧?它是一种似越野车却不全是越野车的车型,可是车市场上的大红人呢。
