Difference between AUV and SUV

[Syuryuken]

Simple lang naman ang difference.

SUV -Eto yung mga sport trucks na binebenta sa US/AU/Europe. Pasado sa mga strict standards nila.

Sport utility vehicle

From Wikipedia

A sport utility vehicle, or SUV, is a passenger vehicle which combines the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan or station wagon together with on or off road ability. Most SUVs are designed with a roughly square cross-section, an engine compartment, a combined passenger and cargo compartment, and no dedicated trunk. Most mid-size and full-size SUVs have three rows of seats with a cargo area directly behind the last row of seats.

Masasabi ko lang, dun sa mga naka 4x2 na SUV, sana nag Xwind na lang kau, lol!

Syu, what's the prob with what i said? Of course, academic na ang definition na yan and needless to say since everyone has an idea what an SUV and AUV is.

Hominid: XUVi? or yung "turbo" kuno na sobrang bagal?. Ok naman ang Isuzu Xwind, matibay makina kasi siempre isuzu (maybe except the Trooper CRDI). Mausok lang talaga kahit brand new tsaka sobrang bagal bukod sa maingay na parang jeepney.

Wala namang problem with 4x2 SUVs, eh yun lang ang ma-afford eh, anong magagawa natin kung kulang pera for 4x4. Tsaka kung di nman kailangan ng 4x4, what for? Minsan naman, kahit gusto mo ng 4x4, walang available sa dealer, 4x2 lang so siempre pag-tyagaan mo na rin kesa wala or bumili ka ng lesser choices.

Tsaka kung di nman kailangan ng 4x4, what for?

Opinion lang naman ito.

Kung d kailangan ng 4x4, why get an SUV? Any Xwind will do para sa mga lubak o baha. Kung gusto mong maporma, get the higher model.

Kung kailangan ng speed, why not get a car?

A new CRDi pickup with camper shell is also a good alternative sa SUV kun di afford.

Peaceout, lol!

it's a matter of choice pa rin, kung sa offroads ka most of the time required talaga ang 4x4 pero kung sobra naman sa pogi points eh nakakahinayang gamiting pangharabas... anyway i've opted for a powerful yet fuel efficient new engine 4x2 suv since yung matitipid eh... pangdown na rin for a second car.

Tama si ILD...it's an endless debate.

No offense though to Isuzu xwind owners....maingay nga itong mga ito kahit na yung mga top of the line sportivos. I guess Isuzu should improve the dampening of the engine noise. Their body designs/ride height looks great though but I think body roll was sacrificed to a good extent. Turbo for these cars is also a misnomer kasi parang mabagal pa din.

Peace.

Thou shall not argue with ***, religion, and... SUVs!

IMHO, AUV will ride 10 or more people and will cost less to operate and acquire. A SUV will have a variant that has 4wd capability. Everything else that's not a van/car/truck/bus, is an MPV. So ang papasok lang na AUV dito sa definition ko ay base variants ng XWind at Adventure. (Hindi ko kasi alam kung ilang seater ang Avanza pero kung madami siyang sakay, puwede din yung base variant niya dito).Hindi ko iniismall ang AUVs -- I think makaka jackpot ang brand na kayang mag-dominate dito. At importante ito dahil malaki din ang role ng FX taxi service dito. It's quite innovative, IMO.

+1 point ka dyan pups actually kung hindi lang lumabas agad yung model ng duratorq tdci yung unang choice ko x-rosswind kasi may option pang pambusiness same time instant taxi... i think yung avanza qualifies to be a taxi din but vios is mostly used dami sa kalsada ngayun.
