I’ll never understand people that drive these entirely unnecessary abominations. Energy efficiency should be the motivation: which generally indicates smaller vehicles for most tasks. Most local, individual journeys should be made by eScooter these days, and a saloon car is already the best format for mid range family trips. SUVs are mostly a sign of sociopathic tendencies - a manifestation of the drivers need to be feel bigger, heavier, stronger than the next person. If you live in the country, fine, the rugged format makes sense. Drive one exclusively in the suburbs to pick your shopping up? The choice says something about you.
Comment on Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier

This is going to continue. No one wants a tiny car once you get a taste for driving an suv. The more people who eventually try it the more you’ll see on the road.

I am the exception to your rule. Driving an SUV to the shops feels like effort compared to driving a small hatchback.
