Australia is obsessed with big cars, and it’s a problem

Australians love big cars, and it's undoing the good work of the shift to more electric and hybrid vehicles.

Australians are driving bigger, heavier, dirtier cars and it’s alarming both climate and road safety experts.

A decade ago, sedans and hatchbacks were the most popular cars in Australia. Today, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and American-style utes dominate new car sales and advertising.

    They do if you buy a proper sedan/hatchback

        How is that ignorant. Thinking a sedan can’t pull a caravan is just stupid.

          They can pull a caravan on the highway. As soon as you try to drive over something even slightly uneven your wheels will slip and you’ll be stuck.

          I said my use case was off-roading in the Vic High Country. So your reply to that was ignorant. Simple.
