jeepeta

In the Dominican Republic, a jeepeta is any SUV or off-road vehicle. The name comes from the Jeep brand, which was the first all-terrain vehicle to become well known. Because of this, the term is now used generically for all vehicles in that category, so even a Land Rover or a Toyota 4Runner is called a jeepeta.

Jeepeta: All brands of SUVs.

Land Rover

The luxury SUV for those who want to avoid looking tacky or like they lack taste by driving a Hummer. (Jeepeta is the Dominican term for a high-end SUV; chopo refers to someone perceived as low-class or having money but no class).

Before, the Land Rover was the SUV for the rich and the Hummer was for the poor with money. Now both are SUVs for the poor with money.
