My Golf is a tad below 1.2 tons, but that’s beside my point.
The thing about those “mid-range” SUVs is that they are worse in every measurable aspect when it comes to environmental impact. A couple months ago, I compared a VW Golf with a VW Tiguan, both with the same engine. The Tiguan is heavier, uses more fuel and is bigger (space it takes in the city) than the Golf. Both have the same engine, both accommodate 4-5 people and get you to your destination dry and warm.
The “compact” SUV is worse off in every objective category, and I’m not even getting into manufacturing CO2 or things like pedestrian safety. Off-road vehicles have their practical uses. SUVs don’t, for the vast majority of owners.
Again, I’m not advocating for SUVs, I don’t even like them, I’m advocating for the ordinary people which I belong to, I don’t want us te get ripped off by the govts, that’s it.
