Comment on 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.

    Why not get the i30 instead though? They’re the same car but the Kona gets less gas milage and is worse for the environment?

        The whole point of this post is how cars today emit more Co2 than they did ten years ago. I’m just pointing out that people like you are the reason this is true. The Kona is literally(not figuratively) an i30 jacked up a couple of inches and now emits more Co2.
