Today, the best performer in the global market is SUVs. Last year, SUVs accounted for an astonishing 45% of global sales, and even the living space of sedans and station wagons has been squeezed. However, foreign media recently reported that the craze for SUVs may be difficult to maintain , due to emissions and vehicle size.

Foreign media believe that the continued hot sales of SUVs may be variable, due to emissions and vehicle size.

According to foreign media, the biggest reason that hinders SUVs from continuing to dominate the car industry is stricter emission standards. Although gasoline-electric systems are being introduced one after another, SUVs generally still need larger engines to drive. Therefore, JATO emission data shows that SUVs The total average CO2 emission of the car reaches 107.9g/km, which is still much higher than that of small cars and compact cars.

SUV models are popular around the world, accounting for 45% of total car sales last year.

Another big worry is the size and weight of the vehicle. A larger body of an SUV will inevitably result in a higher vehicle weight. Taking the European market as an example, an SUV weighs 27% more than a small car; in the US market, an SUV weighs 22% more than a car , and vehicle weight and body size will affect road costs and environmental protection costs.

Although SUVs are actively introducing gasoline-electric systems, their carbon dioxide emissions are still high.

Combined with the above reasons, foreign media are worried that the governments of various countries will target SUVs in the future. If the taxes required to pay for SUV models are further increased, it is very likely that the current hot sales situation will be hit hard.

On the other hand, the hot sales of SUVs is also the key to prompting major automakers to invest in electric vehicles. The high profits of SUVs can be used to offset the development costs of electric vehicles. Therefore, SUVs will continue to be popular around the world in a short time.
