The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

There are a lot of SUV type vehicles on the road in the UK, it's frustrating was most people do not need that kind of car.

Watching tiny, single people drive gigantic SUVs around everywhere whilst looking just over the top of the steering wheel is quite discomforting. And parking spots filled with vehicles that barely fit in them.
