Are medium SUVs any good off-road?
A Medium SUV with 4WD four-wheel drive and a ladder-frame chassis (or body on frame construction) is more likely to be better off road or in the bush than ones without these – especially if they also have a high and low-range transfer case gearbox, high ground clearance, short approach angles, short rollover angles, and short departure angles. An example of this sort of Medium SUV is the Jeep Wrangler, which has astonishingly good off-road capabilities. A Medium SUV with 2WD two-wheel drive only is really only best suited to being driven on-road, with some mild off-road capability thrown in, like driving across shallow sand or gravel tracks. An example of this is the Ford Territory RWD.
