Its an SUV. The Jeep name means nothing. I love my XJ, don't get me wrong, but its not the holy grail, kid... Guess what, the Wrangler is also an SUV. There's different kinds of sport...There's the "sport" of rock crawling, for example. So there's your sport. It works and hauls things decently, so there's your utility. And its a vehicle. Personally I think it leans more toward sport than utility. Not a whole hell of a lot of room in the rear.
