I want to clear differentiation of SUV/MUV cars, please make it clear?

Question

I have huge confusion. Please help me.

Answer 1

In the US, we have no such confusion. Everyone knows the difference between an SUV (a Toyota Highlander or RAV4) and a Minivan (a Toyota Sienna). It's the Brits that are most confused since they call a Minivan an MUV.

"A minivan, minibus, people carrier, multi utility vehicle (MUV), or multi purpose vehicle (MPV) is a type of vehicle which has a body that resembles a van, but which has rear side doors, rear side windows, and interior fittings to accommodate passengers similar to a station wagon. Minivans are higher than normal sedans, compacts and station wagons, and are designed for maximum interior room; minivans often feature three seat rows and can seat 7 people or more."

"A sport utility vehicle, or SUV, is a passenger vehicle which combines the towing capability of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a sedan. Some SUV's seat 8 or more people making them an alternative to two separate vehicles[1][2]. Most SUVs are designed with a roughly square cross-section, an engine compartment, a combined passenger and cargo compartment, and no dedicated trunk. Most mid-size and full-size SUVs have seven or more seats, and a cargo area directly behind the last row of seats. Compact SUVs and mini SUVs, such as the Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Vitara, may have five or fewer seats."

Answer 2

One is supposedly for sports and some off road applications (SUV) and the other is just a road going utility vehicle with a lot of flexibility.
