Correct Answer: Sports utility vehicle
So why is this answer correct? : In the United Kingdom, they often call them “4x4s,” but in the United States, sports utility vehicles are simply referred to as SUVs. The term “SUV” first appeared in a brochure for the 1974 Jeep Cherokee SJ. However, the term didn’t really get rolling until the ‘80s with the 1984 Jeep Cherokee XJ, which many consider the first popular SUV.
