SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE Attractive design, rich equipment, functional interior and above-average driving qualities - these are the main advantages of SUVs. Thanks to these qualities, SUVs have been a real sales hit for many years. Story and photos by realme 8 Pro by Bartosz Grzybiński
O
ne of the fastest growing segments, not only on the Polish market, is the SUV segment (Sport Utility Vehicle). These multifunctional vehicles have been a real sales hit for many years. No other segment records such dynamics! What makes these vehicles so popular? There are many reasons. Starting with the appearance and driving properties (often including four-wheel drive), through spacious and multifunctional, yet well-equipped interiors, to the huge variety when it comes to...dimensions. Suffice it to say that two-wheel-drive SUVs can be found in the city car segment (B) as well as in the compact class (C), the mid-size class (D), the executive class (E) and even among luxury cars! Because of the large number of models offered, they even began to distinguish among them cars with smaller dimensions and single-axle drive by creating their own sub-segment - crossover. The choice of cars is very large because virtually every car company offers several models with SUV body. Each brand is trying to take a piece of the sweet automotive pie. When trying to answer the question about the attractiveness of this type of car, it’s best to take a closer look at a few of them. In the first part of this report, I selected a few crossovers and compact SUVs from the dozens of models available on the market. In the second part of the report, in the next issue of the magazine, I will present models belonging to higher classes.
