How it's used
Refers specifically to vehicles engineered for rugged terrain rather than just any large car. It is common to use this term interchangeably with SUV in casual conversation, though enthusiasts distinguish between a true off-roader and a city-focused SUV.

Common mistake
Avoid using this term for standard family cars or luxury SUVs that lack genuine off-road capabilities, as it implies a specific mechanical design for rough terrain.
