What does CUV model mean?
1 Answers
CUV stands for City Utility Vehicle, which refers to a multi-purpose vehicle developed based on a sedan chassis design platform, integrating the characteristics of sedans, MPVs, and SUVs. It is also known as a Crossover, and nowadays, many people call it a crossover vehicle. CUVs offer the driving experience and handling of a sedan, the versatility and spacious interior of an MPV, along with the rugged appearance and good road passability of an SUV. Essentially, a CUV has the chassis of a sedan, the exterior of an SUV, and the interior layout of an MPV. The interior space of a CUV is slightly smaller than that of an MPV, but it typically seats seven passengers, offering more space than both SUVs and sedans. With its bold SUV-like exterior, a higher chassis than sedans and MPVs, and better off-road capability and safety compared to sedans and MPVs, it still falls short of the off-road performance of a traditional SUV.
