What does a full-size SUV mean?

[VonVictoria]

So-called full-size SUVs, also known as large SUVs (distinct from mid-size SUVs like the Ford Explorer), represent the largest category of SUVs. Main characteristics: Large size, large displacement, spacious interiors, with body lengths typically approaching or exceeding 5000mm. Traditional full-size SUVs feature engines characterized by high torque and low horsepower, achieving performance through increased displacement without much consideration for fuel economy. Representative models of full-size SUVs include the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Suburban. The concept of full-size SUVs: Derived from "full-size cars," the term "Full-size" originates from the United States and was initially meaningful only there. In Japan, only vehicles produced in the U.S. adhere to this concept, while European cars hardly ever mention "full-size." This is because large sedans or SUVs in Europe are predominantly luxury vehicles, making models that are "large but not luxurious"—like many American cars—extremely rare. In Europe, luxury takes precedence over size.
