“I used to think all SUV’s were 4WD. Not many are.”
If you dive a little deeper you’ll find many are actually front wheel drive.......which is not a good design IMO.
Personally I have avoided FWD vehicles like the plague....to the point I steered my wife from a Japanese import to a German import primarily for that very reason.
You are right. In my mind, only the truck-based versions are SUVs.
