They both increase the risk of drag under if a pedestrian is hit, and they both have decreased visibility in comparison to a sedan, hatchback, coupe, etc. Etc.
So do semitrucks, that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. Btw I’m pretty sure visibility from most SUVs is significantly better than from an average pickup.
Chevy Tahoe/suburban, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade are all a Chevy Silverado
Ford expedition, Lincoln Navigator > F150
Toyota land cruiser, Sequoia, Lexus LX, GX are all Toyota tundra/tacoma
As for the rest, on average they have a higher ride height, and a taller hood than a sedan/hatchback. These will combine to give a (sub) compact SUV better front visibility than a full size SUV, but it will still have worst visibility than a sedan.
Even in the case that an SUV does have comparable front visibility to a smaller vehicle… It’s taller Grille and higher ride height still make them more dangerous to pedestrians.
If “here” is Europe, the roadways and regulations make it harder for the suburbitanks to be usable over there but people are starting to import them and it’s not good
Yes, it’s in Europe. There are a few cars of that size here, but they’re a real pain to find a parking spot for and fuel is a lot more expensive, too, so I don’t see that being much of an issue
ffs SUVs and pickup trucks are not the same thing
Legally they are. Both SUVs and pickups are legally classified in the US as “light trucks” (or “light-duty trucks”).
They are still separate terms describing different types of cars

I’ve never seen any of those monstrosities on out roads, SUVs here are hardly bigger than most other cars
