A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

    From my north american perspective, SUVs are getting bigger. Full size SUVs like a chevy suburban, toyota highlander, and even hyundai telluride are bigger than many older full sized trucks. The bumper heights are increasing and these SUVs are replacing the family minivan or hatchback to spend most of their lives just getting grocceries.

      Over here the “biggest” suvs I regurally see are the size of VW Tiguan. I believe Volvos XC40 and XC60 are pretty popular amongst the richer crowd.

      But the most common is probably Kia Sportage. The text book example of a SUV which is engineered to look big, but it’s actually not at all and is overall a very cheap car.

      Volvo V70 used to be the most popular car over here, now we’ve all fallen for the SUV scam :(
