Mini SUV

Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIN : Mini SUV

Mini SUV is a class of small sport utility vehicles which are more or less under 4,15 m long. Early mini SUVs were specially designed for off-road conditions (such as the Jeep Wrangler); however, current mini SUVs usually have unibody chassis and few off-road capabilities. They substitute off road-looking cosmetic features, such as large black bumpers and slightly increased ground clearance; therefore, they fall into the crossover SUV category. Mini SUVs have become popular in some countries because of fashion trends: for example, wealthy young people buy them just to have a "different-looking" car.

In Japan, as cars under 3.40 meter in length are classified as keicars and pay less taxes, some manufacturers build these cars with off-road looks (such as the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini).
