What is an SUV?
A sport utility vehicle is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.
There is no commonly agreed-upon definition of an SUV and usage of the term varies between countries.

Average engine lifespan
For some time, the average lifespan of a car’s engine was eight years or 150,000 miles. New designs, better technology, and improved service standards in recent years have increased this average life expectancy to about 200,000 miles, or about 10 years.
