CUV
Small sport utility
CUV stands for crossover utility vehicle—a type of automobile that blends features of SUVs with car-like construction.
Unlike traditional SUVs built on truck frames, CUVs use unibody construction, offering better fuel economy and a smoother ride while maintaining the elevated seating position and cargo space buyers want.
The category dominates modern vehicle sales.
