What is considered an SUV (sport utility vehicle) has morphed from a handful of off-roaders into many of America’s most popular vehicles.

The category includes everything from small, front-wheel-drive personal transporters — like the 2024 Buick Envista SUV and Hyundai Venue — to family haulers like the Toyota Highlander and the Chevrolet Traverse, to rugged off-roaders like the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco.
