Suzuki never used the word SUV nor did they know it existed until toyota came up with it so good one toyota and well done to the best and first suv the RAV4!

Crikey even the Mini Moke California losely fits the SUV Genre..... Not a Fourby not a road car but something in between (oh and I reckon I'd rather have a California than either of the two complainents..... ;p) True but it just goes to show that there were plenty of vehicles before either the Suzuki or the Rav… Crikey even the Mini Moke California losely fits the SUV Genre…..

There is no proper definition of SUVs, as it means different things to different people... There are quite a bit vehicles that claim to be the first SUV around, and depending on your interpretation of SUV, they can all be right. Be it the Jeep Willies, Lada Niva, Jeep Cherokee (XJ), Suzuki sierra, Rav4, etc... Bit of an idiotic argument if you ask me?
