[Frances]

An SUV does not belong to the category of small sedans; rather, it is classified as a small general passenger vehicle. The original intention of an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) is to be a versatile vehicle with ample luggage space comparable to that of a sedan, while also offering superior off-road capability compared to sedans. Below are the reasons: Definition Criteria: For passenger vehicles, the vehicle type is often determined by the number of seats and its intended use. SUVs typically accommodate 5-7 passengers and can be categorized by length into compact SUVs and large SUVs. Compact SUVs generally have a length of 4.4-4.65 meters, while large SUVs are usually around 4.7-5 meters. Classification Rules: Passenger vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters and seating capacity of 9 or fewer are classified as small general passenger vehicles. If the vehicle length exceeds 6 meters and the seating capacity is more than 9 but fewer than 20, it is classified as a medium-sized passenger vehicle.
