SUVs are among the most popular cars among French drivers. Designed halfway between off-road 4×4 and high-end sedan, the SUV car is now designed to replace MPVs in favour of more efficient and comfortable vehicles. While this trend is now shaking up the automotive industry, motorists no longer know where to turn between compact SUVs, family SUVs and sports SUVs.
Back on 5 flagship models to buy an SUV in 2019.
The SUV: what is it?
First, it is important to define what the SUV is. Also known as a crossover, the Sport Utility Vehicle is a car that combines the flexibility and convenience of a minivan with the power and comfort of a sedan.
This type of vehicle, which appeared in the 1990s in Asia and the United States, appeared on French roads at the end of the 2000s. Representing almost all new car sales in France with city cars, the SUV market is full of entry-level and high-end vehicles. Whether it is Dacia, Volkswagen, BMW or Porsche, all manufacturers now offer their own SUV models.
