However, there are many other synonyms available for GPV depending on the usage, feature and region. In some places, it is known as a multi-purpose vehicle, family car, or station wagon. In particular, American English uses the term sport utility vehicle or SUV which is synonymous with the crossover in Europe. In Australia, it can be referred to as a four-wheel drive or 4WD, while pickup trucks are also considered general purpose vehicles. No matter what you call them, GPVs offer versatility, practicality and convenience to users with various needs.
