a type of vehicle designed to be used on rough or uneven surfaces, like dirt trails or rocky terrain, rather than on smooth roads

An off-road vehicle is a type of vehicle designed for driving on rough, uneven, or unpaved surfaces, such as dirt, gravel, or mud. These vehicles have features that help them handle challenging terrains, like stronger tires, higher ground clearance, and specialized suspensions. Off-road vehicles are commonly used for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or recreational driving, as well as in industries like construction and agriculture. They are built to be durable and able to operate in environments where regular vehicles might struggle.
