A '''commercial SUV''' is an SUV or [[Crossover (automobile)|crossover]], that is used for commercial purposes. The category is very similar to [[panel trucks]] since the [[Chevrolet Suburban]] (an SUV) had panel truck versions, which were used for commercial purposes.

The first SUV-like vehicle that had commercial versions was the Chevrolet Suburban [[panel truck]]. Panel trucks by American manufacturers were built until the late 1970s.

While panel trucks manufactured by European manufacturers were rare, commercial versions of off-road vehicles were very common, Land Rover manufactured commercial versions of the [[Land Rover series|Land Rover]] and the [[Land Rover Defender|Defender]]. Commercial SUVs are factory-built and most of them are not independent conversions, which means they can be bought from dealerships and showrooms.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chin |first1=Joshua |title=The Wonderful World Of The Commercial SUV Market |url= https://automacha.com/the-weird-world-of-the-commercial-suv-market/ |work=Automacha |date=27 July 2020 |access-date=25 December 2020}}</ref>
