Overview

Sport Utility Vehicles are very trendy.  The rugged styling and the "freedom" of being able to climb mountains and cross streams is a powerful marketing message.  Still, most consumers rarely use large SUVs for anything but commuting and hauling family.  Some simply don't realize that there are many other vehicles that not only get better fuel economy, but are actually safer as well.  Many of these safer models have third row seating to carry more passengers or cargo, while others have advanced AWD systems for light off-road duty and superior bad weather performance.  A number can even tow 3,000 to 6,000 pounds.  Large, truck based SUVs are finally improving in safety with each new model year, but many are still inferior in terms of overall safety.  Here are some of the safest choices if you are looking for a crossover, SUV or minivan.  They are also great alternatives if you're considering a truck-based model. 

SUV Popularity

SUVs became popular in the United States, Canada, and Australia in the 1990s and early 2000s for a variety of reasons. Vehicle buyers were drawn to their large cabins, higher ride height, and perceived safety. Additionally, some full-size SUVs have far greater towing capacities than conventional cars, allowing owners to tow travel trailers (caravans), trailers, and boats with relative ease. This coincided with very low oil prices of the 1990s which made the running costs of SUVs affordable to the masses.
Some of the SUV's popularity can be attributed to it "utilitarian" image, which could explain the large growth in SUV popularity and among some women. Women constitute more than half of SUV drivers, and SUVs are one of the most popular vehicle choice of women in the United States.

Current model SUVs (crossovers) take into account that most SUV owners never go off-road. As such, some SUVs now have lower ground clearance and suspension designed primarily for paved road usage. However with the advent and popularization of air suspension, many SUVs have the benefits of a low suspension while on road with the ability to raise it to go off-road where a car or other vehicle might not be able to. In addition increased ground clearance is useful in climates with heavy snow.
In addition, full-sized SUVs have replaced old-fashioned full-size station wagons and bear similar features such as 3-row seating.
