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. (english.elpais.com)

I like sitting higher so I can see over other vehicles. Also as a tall person getting into and out of a truck is much easier than from a car. Safety plays a big factor aswell; if I end up in a accident I'll rather be in the bigger vehicle. Compared to american trucks mine is quite compact though. It's called Frontier in the US.

Make sense, I'm a tall person myself, 188cm (6"2'), I got trouble fitting in some sedan and hatchback (my head would hit the ceiling if I sit straight up). Maybe that's why I don't like them.
