If you are looking for a family vehicle, perhaps an SUV (sport utility vehicle) or CUV (crossover utility vehicle) will fit the bill. An SUV or CUV provides space, power, and ruggedness. These vehicles are ideal for drivers who need extra room for the family, or want a more rugged vehicle to take on adventures or use for work.
Comparing SUVs and CUVs
Generally an SUV is built with its body bolted to a truckâs ladder frame while a CUV is based on a carâs unibody platform, which means the body and frame are one. Both vehicles are ideal and versatile family cars that offer all the amenities, safety features and technical innovations of a luxury sedan.

About the SUV
The SUV has more ground clearance and is more rugged and capable of handling backcountry, off-road adventures or hauling large travel trailers. The SUV is larger than the CUV and, therefore, includes more interior space for a family and their gear. In a working vehicle configuration, SUVs offer excellent cargo space.
About the CUV
The CUV is smaller and less rugged than the SUV, but is also generally less expensive and offers better fuel economy. Available in sizes ranging from mid-size to compact to small, the CUV design is less boxy, but still offers extra space for family, groceries, pets, and cargo.
