land cruiser

Off-road capable automobile

A land cruiser is a sturdy vehicle designed for off-road travel over rough terrain—the land equivalent of a ship cruising open water.

The term evokes rugged capability and adventure: We rented a land cruiser for the safari.

Toyota's Land Cruiser has made the capitalized form nearly synonymous with the category.
