A new study has found that most SUVs in the UK are bought by city drivers.
SUVs and crossovers are now so popular that some automakers such as Ford and Buick no longer build traditional passenger cars. The SUV sales boom is showing no signs of slowing down either, as many automakers like Audi and VW estimate that SUV sales will continue to increase dramatically over the next few years.
As a result, World Wildlife Fund is concerned that large SUVs clogging up city centers is harming the environment and wants to ban excessive SUV advertising in France. Now, the RAC Foundation is warning people in the UK to rethink their car buying habits as many people are using large SUVs to cruise around town rather than go offroad. We should all choose the right vehicle for the right trip to cut the size of our carbon footprint, the RAC Foundation s Steve Gooding told the BBC.
