The rough British equivalent of this trope is the "Chelsea tractor", which refers to huge [=4x4s=] (aka [=SUV=]s in America) that never leave the city and are owned by people who don't need the offroad capabilities. Among the vehicles stereotypically associated with this trope are Land Rovers (especially Range Rovers), Porsche Cayennes, BMW [=X5s=], and other [=4x4s=] of that ilk, luxury vehicles that, while smaller than the typical American example, make up for it with their focus on flashiness. Such people are often stereotyped as arrogant and [[CompensatingForSomething insecure]]. Since these cars are seen as embodying the worst aspects of ConspicuousConsumption, they fall under the AcceptableTargets banner.

* ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'': An unmade episode has Andy and Jim combatting owners of large [=SUVs=]. The first one they encounter is seen parked in an underground lot in several [[StealingTheHandicappedSpot handicap spots]]. When they look inside, they see a small child in a playpen in the cargo area.

* Lampshaded by its absence in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo''; Raven finds [[CarFu projectile cars]] are less effective in Japan, are most people drive compacts.

* "La Suburban Dorada" by Los Huracanes del Norte is a Mexican narco-folk song about two cartel goons running a drug delivery on an armored, tuned, golden Chevrolet Suburban. The first half of the song talks entirely about the Suburban; the second half talks about the job going awry at a police checkpoint.

A gigantic sport-utility vehicle, built under the philosophy that BiggerIsBetter, basically making it the SpiritualSuccessor to [[TheFifties 1950s]] cars with giant tail-fins. Smaller cars, or at least their drivers, tremble in fear as this [[Series/BetterCallSaul school bus for six year old pimps]] passes on the highway--or maybe it's because the road itself is shaking under its weight. The name will be something bold, authoritative and often referring to freedom, power and the rugged wilderness, like "Crusader", "Boardpass" or "Kilimanjaro". [[CrazyPrepared It's filled with all sorts of equipment to help it tow trailers, climb mountains, and get through the rain, snow, sleet, hail, mud, and whatever else Mother Nature can throw at it...]]

* Done in ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' when Daniel Warmold, a rookie drug dealer, gets in way over his head and uses his new drug money to buy a pimped-out yellow Hummer with red flames on the side and spinning rims. Naturally, Nacho Varga chooses to rip him off as a result, stealing Daniel's money and baseball cards. Because Daniel goes to the police about the cards, Mike is forced to broker a deal with Nacho to keep themselves from getting caught, wherein Nacho gets Daniel's Hummer in exchange for returning the baseball cards. Upon receiving the car, Nacho announces his immediate intentions to destroy the car for parts:

** Parodied in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' with [[GTARadio radio ads]] for the "Maibatsu Monstrosity", an SUV that can seat 12, cross rivers ("so far I've only hit a few puddles. But it's good to know it's there!") and arctic tundra. And only gets 3 miles per gallon.

* Averted with the SUV's in ''VideoGame/TestDrive Unlimited 2'' where their whole purpose is for off-road racing that the Classic or Asphault classes struggle to grip dirt roads. Although via wrecks, you can find dedicated off-roaders such as a V8 buggy or a Lancia Stratos rally car.
