SUV really began to rise in the United States in 199 1 and 1992, and the concept of SUV entered China in 1998. From the literal meaning of SUV, we can find that it is a kind of transportation which combines sports and multi-purpose. The station wagon was very popular in the United States from 1950s to 1980s, and won praise for its comfort and versatility. Off-road vehicles are heavy and consume a lot of fuel. Finally, the concept of SUV came into being, which was developed from the combination of station wagon and off-road vehicle. The chassis of the SUV is very high, with beams, which can be towed, and the trunk space is equally wide. SUV integrates off-road, storage, travel and traction, so it is called sport utility vehicle.
SUV is the abbreviation of "SportsutityVehicle", that is, sport utility vehicle, also known as recreational off-road vehicle, which is a four-wheel drive van developed from pickup truck chassis and originated in the United States in the 1980s. The most attractive thing about SUV is that it should not only have the comfort of middle and high-end cars, but also have higher off-road and safety, as well as a sense of movement, which is convenient for daily life, travel and outdoor leisure. This is because the front suspension of SUV is an independent spiral spring suspension of car model, and the rear suspension is a non-independent leaf spring suspension of off-road vehicle model, which has a large interior space and is comfortable for carrying people and goods.
In the birthplace of the United States, SUV has been firmly at the top of the best-selling models in recent years because it is suitable for both urban walking and wild Mercedes-Benz, which is very suitable for the new generation's personality of pursuing publicity and loving being close to nature. After SUV entered the China market, it won the favor of many consumers with its high cost performance. Especially in 2003, SUV became the highlight of the auto market, and even people in the industry exclaimed that 2003 was the first year of SUV. SUV new cars have mushroomed, and the sales volume is also high.
At present, there are all kinds of domestic SUVs in low, medium and high levels on the market, with the low allocation below 6,543,800 yuan, mainly old models, and the new cars are most eye-catching with Cheetah Fit, Jeep2500 and the newly listed Terui. Mid-priced cars range from 200,000 to 400,000, and there are many new members, such as speed running, paladin, Huatai Traka and Cheetah flagship. This is a position that most mainstream manufacturers are vying for fiercely at present; The high-end products are more than 400,000, including Jinbei GM, Beijing Jeep, FAW Toyota, and imported SUVs, which fully take care of the needs of different consumers.
MPV refers to a multi-purpose vehicle. From the source, MPV evolved from station wagon. It integrates the spacious seating space of the station wagon, the comfort of the car and the functions of the van, and is generally a hatchback structure, that is, a multi-purpose vehicle. Generally speaking, you can take a minibus with 7-8 people. Strictly speaking, MPV is mainly aimed at home users, and those passenger cars that are modified from commercial vans and aimed at group customers cannot be regarded as real MPV. The space of MPV is relatively larger than that of a car with the same displacement, and it has dimensions and specifications, but it is not as thin as a car.
Standard RV
Let's start with the RV. Is it English leisure? The abbreviation of alVehicle, that is, leisure, entertainment and recreational vehicle, is usually translated into recreational vehicle. The concept of recreational vehicle first appeared in America. Because Americans love pickup trucks, the early concept of recreational vehicles evolved from this, and later light off-road vehicles were also included in the ranks of recreational vehicles, such as "SuzukiVitara", "Toyota Rav 4" and "LandRoverFreelander".
The concept of S-RV comes from Shanghai GM. It is named after a Sail station wagon, and S stands for Sail's initials.
Pickups are also called cars. As the name implies, the car is also stuck, which has a front and cab and an open truck compartment. It is characterized by car-like comfort, strong power, stronger cargo capacity than cars and the ability to adapt to bad road conditions. The most common pickup truck model is the double-row pickup truck, which is the largest pickup truck on the market at present. Development process: When I first saw the name "pickup truck", it was difficult to associate it with the appearance of the car. Pickup is a transliteration of the English word "pickup truck", which originated in North America and took shape as early as the early 20th century. Now it has developed into an independent type of commercial vehicle. Since pickup trucks entered China in the late 1980s, the main battlefields have been small and medium-sized towns, urban-rural fringe and vast rural areas, and the sales volume in big cities is almost zero. Therefore, for urbanites, the main consumer groups in China automobile market, the definition and division of pickup trucks have always been vague. Here we go back to the English dictionary to understand its definition. From the English definition, a pickup truck is a four-wheeled or six-wheeled car specially designed for transporting goods. The load standard is lower than that of the truck, and no special driver's license is required. Generally refers to those small cars with front engine, front head and rear tail. In short, it's a minivan. This model has become very popular in North America, so when some state governments made regulations that pickup trucks can't pass on certain roads, it caused many people's dissatisfaction. Interestingly, in the dictionary of Duke of Zhou in the United States, I dreamed that pickup trucks were standing there working hard, which shows that pickup trucks are deeply rooted in people's hearts as an effective means of production and the image of hardworking bulls. But the pickup truck took a detour when it entered China, and it was imported from neighboring Japan. At that time, the market economy had not been established, the automobile as an important "means of production" had not been liberalized, and the government implemented unified control. The pickup truck landed in China as a truck with a long independent container at the back. But then, large and medium-sized cities were unable to bear the serious load of road traffic, and they introduced load-limiting policies one after another, and pickup truck manufacturers suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation. However, the SUV boom in the emerging China auto market has made "smart" pickup truck manufacturers borrow the east wind. In the past, the statistical data of pickup trucks were mostly convertible pickup trucks. Today, the statistical data of pickup trucks have been very different, and the product structure of pickup trucks has also undergone great changes. Almost without exception, all pickup companies have introduced pickup trucks with different identities, such as the van pickup truck with the prefix "5", which completely closes the rear cargo compartment and separates it from the cab, and can also be used as a multi-functional commercial vehicle or station wagon. More is a low-cost SUV with the word "6", which is an integrated van modified on the chassis of pickup trucks. Its cab and warehouse are connected together, and it is the same chassis as the pickup truck, but the upper body is different. The transformation of this technology is only a small step, but the "identity" has suddenly changed dramatically. It announced the pickup truck's "rural to non-agricultural", and from then on, it can bypass the urban restriction policy and pass freely in major cities. Coupled with the advantages of simple technology and cost, pickup truck manufacturers can control the price of this modified so-called SUV below 6,543,800 yuan. At present, low-cost multi-purpose vehicles have formed a group. According to American tradition, almost all the names of pickup trucks and SUVs are related to the west, Indians or cowboys to some extent. This is probably to flaunt a rough and unrestrained spirit. Mojave is no exception. Mojave was originally a famous desert in the southwestern United States. Hyundai and KIA's R&D institutions have invested 50 million dollars to build a large-scale testing ground covering an area of 4,300 acres here. Almost all new models sold to the American market have to undergo rigorous tests here before they are officially put into production. In fact, Kia's medium-sized pickup truck project was secretly launched as early as two years ago, with the internal code name KCV4. The Mojave concept car exhibited at the auto show has actually surpassed the concept car and is more like a prototype car that is close to mass production. So KIA stopped mentioning that lame code name, but gave it an American name, which is expected to be used after mass production. Simply put: a pickup truck is a van!
