A Jeep is a name brand form a manufacturer. Chrysler Corporation owns the Jeep company and makes the Jeep line of vehicles. A Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is a class of vehicle. These are generally made on a truck chassis with the passenger compartment extended to use what would have been the cargo box of the truck. However there are some small models of SUV that are made with unibody construction like a car. These small SUV models generally lack the hauling ability of a full size SUV and they generally suck off road. Nearly every major automaker makes some sort of SUV. These are 2 completely different things. |

I'm surprise u people are still on this , Y can't we just accept that any high , big car with big tyres is a Jeep and that is understandable by most Nigerians. If we start to call some car SUV then we get into another argument about which is SUV , CUV , Hatchback , Estate , GP, truck etc. Let's make things easier so that we can concentrate on major issues in the Rivers State House of Assembly. In ur workplaces we may be specific but out on the street , get use to Jeep and move along |

scholes23: Jeep is an SUV brand of Cherokee product. Pple prefer to refer to SUVs as Jeep cos they're familiar with the name and its easy to pronounce. How many pple call their vehicles SUV in Nigeria? And the full meaning of CRV is Comfortable Runabout Vehicle |

HolyHolla: If I can recollect precisely, the craze for SUVs started in the early 80s, fueled particularly by the crave to create a new lifestyle by some young up-coming youth who wanted to differentiate themselves as nouveau rich. Earlier before this, the SUV was primarily a preserved use of the military, police as well as construction, agricultural and minning companies on site. During the Biafran War, small type jeeps were allocated to Second Leutenants in the army as official vehicles up to the late 70s. The everyday use of SUVs was at first exclusive to the sons of the truly rich in the early 80s. It was soon followed by copy-cat youth engaged in foreign currency peddling, a crime was that also known at the time as "Arrangee". Next was the drug peddlers who also wanted to be associated with the growing hordes of the rich. The Laredo Jeep, made by Chrokee in the U. S. was the first craze in the early 80s. It soon became a vehicle everyone must own to be tagged as rich and young upward-moving (yuppie). From then the SUV became a status symbol and remains so till today. |
