SUVs (full name: Sport Utility Vehicle) are wheeled civilian vehicles featured in both ArmA 2 and ArmA 3.

ArmA 2

The SUV is used by several Independent and OPFOR factions in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.

Overview

Role:
- V.I.P transport

«

A SUV (sport utility vehicle) is a generic marketing term for a vehicle similar to a station wagon, but built on a light-truck chassis. In this case, this SUV is, in fact, a limousine.

Armoury Description

Design

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.

The SUV is a large-sized, four-door, 4x4 limousine vehicle designed to serve in a variety of roles, from acting as a defensive security vehicle to an armed transport.

Features
It is available in two variants; a baseline unarmed version that has no weapons mounted on it, and an armed version that has a minigun mounted on pop-out turret ring.

The SUV's elevated clearance (compared to standard vehicles) gives it a better view of the road, and enables it to jump curbs and other terrain obstacles with little difficulty. Being a four-wheel drive vehicle also enables it to maneuver well while off-road.

Drawbacks
One of the major downsides to the SUV is its increased height which raises its centre of gravity. This means that the likelihood of a rollover while turning on corners at high speeds is quite high.

The other downside is its large size and weight which means that it has rather poor fuel economy. This makes the SUV ill-suited for travel on long trips where there is little-to-no opportunity to refuel.

Crew Capacity
The SUV has a seating capacity of up to six passengers (including the driver).

Variants

Armored SUV

Main article: Armored SUV

Protection

The SUV has a base armour value of 25.

Successful strikes to any of the following highlighted sections will inflict full damage to the component:

Body

The vehicle's body can resist up to 25 points of damage.

Engine

The engines can resist up to 12.5 points of damage before failure. A damaged engine will prevent the SUV from being able to attain its top speed.

Fuel tank

The fuel tank can only take a meagre 3.5 points of damage before rupturing. Incurred damage will cause the SUV to gradually leak fuel over time.

Wheels

Each tyre can incur just 3.75 points of damage before bursting.

Trivia

The ArmA 2 SUV is based on the real-world 2009 model of "Suburban SUV" designed by U.S.-based car manufacturer Chevrolet, itself a subsidiary of General Motors.
The SUV appears to be the vehicle of choice for all PMC contractors operating throughout Takistan as even ION's rival company, Talon International, uses the SUV as their primary form of ground transportation.
- This can be seen throughout the campaign with the countless numbers of appearances that the SUV makes, and in the AAN news report that details an ambush on a convoy of Talon PMCs.
