I agree that the Wrangler is not a SUV.

Though the Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Liberty and Comander are SUVs.
Why in the world are y'all claiming the Wrangler is not an SUV??

Because it only has 2 doors? Both the Cherokee and the Ford Explorer, as well as the Ford Bronco II and Chevy Blazer, came in models with only 2 doors.

Because it's small?? Again, it's not any smaller than any other small SUV on the road.

I don't get it.

The Wrangler is the same size as a Liberty...

If it's not an SUV, then what, pray tell, is it? It's not a "Jeep". That's not a vehicle classification, it's an auto manufacturer...

Of course the Wrangler is a sport utility vehicle. Just as the CJs were ALL SUVs, even before the modern SUV class was even invented.

Edmunds says the Wrangler is a compact SUV, in the same class as the Liberty:

Kelly's Blue Book says the Wrangler is an SUV:

I just don't see any proof that y'all have more automotive insight than these two companies... So if they say it's an SUV, then it is...
