We’ve all heard the term “SUV†thrown around to describe larger transports that carry a lot of people. However, some people may not know what that acronym stands for. SUV is a shortened version of the phrase used to describe an automobile class known as the sport utility vehicle. These are typically associated with off-roading and traveling, but there’s so much more to them than that.
If you’re reading this, you probably love Nissan cars. From the sporty 2018 370Z Coupe Touring to the powerful 2018 Titan XD Pro-4X, the automaker is known for its lasting quality and excellent design.
As the result of a gradual merger between multiple companies, Nissan started in 1914 in Japan. Kenjiro Den, Rokuro Aoyama and Meitaro Takeuchi of Kaishinsha Motorcar Works decided to build a car. Calling this new vehicle DAT, an acronym of their surnames, they were quite pleased with their invention. The engine only produced 10 horsepower, but it paved the road for the next 100 years of innovative automobiles.
