i am looking for something than is cheap and has a small engine and can be used as an off road car.
please tell me if these car are off road vehicles.

1- toyota rav
2- suzuki jimny
3- grand vitara.

i think they are a bit because they got 4 wheel drive and high suspension. and if u can please suggest some
 
Absolutely none of these 3 cars are off road vehicles, nor are any of them 4 wheel drive. Every one of them have open differentials in the front and the back. Read this page on how open differentials don't work on ice or off road: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential3.htm

Our 4 wheel drive group tows a LOT of "tools" driving vehicles with open differentials out of sand, snow and uneven roads back to pavement or even dirt roads. Read the section on LSD type differentials: http://www.houseofthud.com/differentials.htm#limited%20slip The best differential type for off road is the locker style. If you go off road with open differentials you WILL get stuck, so let people know where your going, take a couple of shovels, sleeping bags and food so that when you get stuck maybe someone will find you before you die!
 
The grand vitara is the one you want, I have one it is very good (sure footed) on rough roads also whilst on the beaton track P.S. Suzuki are bring out an updated version of the VITARA next year it will be called the GRAND VIAGRA and it will have a much stiffer suspension ! lol
