The sport utility vehicle - the SUV - has become an integral part of the motoring landscape of the twenty-first century, but it is far from a modern phenomenon. This book, the first comprehensive history of the SUV and its design, analyses in individual profiles the fifty most important SUVs ever produced, from the earliest jeeps and Land Rovers of the Second World War to today's 'crossover' vehicles such as the Volvo XC90 and Chrysler Pacifica.
