What is an AUV?

here's my definition:

AUV -> low-end to middle market
(revo, xwind, adventure, crv)

SUV -> high-end market
(vitara, rav4, forester, escape, x-trail, paj, patrol, trooper, etc)

what could be more simpler than that?

This is bogus, misleading and baseless. The car manufacturers themselves have their own car categories:

Compact SUVs

Midsize SUVs

Large SUVs

Why shouldn't we just believe the car creator's word for the SUV categories? We believed in man's creator when He called the first man Adam and the first woman Eve! Ofcourse may mga Luxury SUVs na tinatawag but that's another story as tax is the major driving force behind this and as we all know, there are different tax structure per country.

Sa Asia may AUV pa and IMO, OTEP's definition is much acceptable.
