Relax, 50 years ago station wagons were all the rage, then it became minivans 30 years ago and SUVs 10 years ago. It's a generational thing. Kids are gonna look at what their parents are driving and think "I don't wanna drive what mom & dad drives" and buy something else. For example, over here in the Philippines SUVs are starting to be stigmatized as "dad cars" and "soccer-mom cars". And the SUV generation's kids are flocking back to the sedan.
Edrick Ong but when those kids have their own children, they’re gonna go back to suvs. Suvs will always be for people who have kids or old people who like them because they are easier for them to climb into. They will always be around.
I don't really see the point in SUVs. Barely any of them have any real off road capability, barely any of them have more cargo space than any standard sedans, wagon or hatchbacks, aren't as safe thanks to being easier to roll, and aren't as good to drive. The only real reason I've heard that makes sense is that they're easier to get into, so people who are overweight, or old, or otherwise find it more difficult getting in and out of cars, do have a reason to go for an SUV.
People like to tout their ride quality too but I find them literally sickening to ride in because of their huge body roll. Its like riding on one of those springy things at playgrounds.
Golden Grenadier Yeah, I haven't really been in any of the more popular ones, or at least haven't paid attention, but I could definitely see that. I prefer something nice and planted, a little roll is fine, but I'd rather not feel like it's going to flip.
GamesGoodBeeBad Awesome man! Good luck with that. I know I need to exercise more. Started full time work that has been more physical than I'm used to, and I'm definitely not as fit as I thought I was lol.
Larger suspension travel means a more comfortable ride on undulating roads. Decent off roading (and I'm not talking about that silly BMW x1; it's macan and upwards that I'm talking about) means you aren't at the mercy of flag zero degrees roads to have a comfortable ride, and it's not like you're going to be throwing your GT or MPV around corners or B roads either. So nobody is really using their car to their fullest. Might as well get the most utilitarian one.
@@arjun._.bbC6 Stop with this bullshit. And suvs aren't any more practical than a kombi. Their "larger" boot comes from height, kombis have longer and wider boots. I haven't seen many people load their cars to the top
I'd go for a hatchback long before an SUV. Some have immense cargo space, while still retaining most positive attributes of cars: better handling, good fuel economy, lower cost, etc. I absolutely loved my old Honda Fit for those reasons.
If you need a lot of cargo space, get a wagon. Same amount as most suvs, and with a center of gravity that’s actually reasonable. Not to mention better handling, acceleration, braking, fuel economy, the fact that it’s easier to drive and that parking is less of a nightmare, and visibility.
I automatically assume anyone in a expensive SUV is compensating and thinks they are special and tasteful while they are clearly not, stick that money up your ass because that would be more impressive than your coffin mobile
@@Journey_to_who_knows yes ikr especially with range rover guys and Tesla owners, they really think owning an suv automatically makes them cool when actually they're just annoying, I would rather see a civic do a pull lol
i hate this SUV trend for 1 personal reason and that's because my dad sold his customized Audi RS7 for a Audi Q8 update: he bought a 2017 Audi S8 plus and it has 750hp and 1000nm 😳
Why wagons if liftbacks exist? They have cargo space which is comparable to wagons (look at Škoda Octavia for example) while not being long-ass cars (they look like your ordinary sedans)
@@dfsstuff6572 the cargo space is awkward on liftbacks, and realistically it’s just a Sedan with a hatchbacks trunk. Doesn’t really add any free real estate. Just a different opening between the passenger cabin, and then the trunk.

"...Manufacturer once exclusively made supercars..." - those guys were also exclusively producing tractors and farm equipment...
@@eugenebeaty4142 doesn't matter. Everybody starts out somewhere. Look at Ferrari themselves- Enzo swore never to make road cars, ended up making homologated V12s. Then swore never to make anything other than v12 Gts and sports cars, but the death of his son drove him to make the Dino which was used until 2012 when it was replaced by Tipo. Basically, everybody starts out somewhere and moves elsewhere if driven by some external factor.. Realistically speaking, wasn't long before every manufacturer started making SUVs.
SUV and crossovers sell well because manufacturers sell ideas/feelings : You Feel safer (not really) You think you can go anywhere off-roading(+90% 0f the times you cant) And also on television they advertise mostly SUV's ALL THE TIME(here in Spain at least), so they make you want an SUV or Crossover, thats why they dont make so much sedans any more, the are cheaper to buy in most cases, so they sell you the SUV and make more profit
The thing is, unless you are going on some Russian outback, most Awd or raised cars will do just as well off-road, do you see rally cars sit super high ?
It’s not just in the USA. Here in the U.K everyone seems to be buying crossovers for some reason, and every hatchback has a crossover version, such as the focus active
It's almost a joke yet it's true. Some of the compact SUVs here in France are the same size as a mid-size hatchback, but with oversized alloy rims, plastic trim all around and fake silver roof racks. Buyers just assume it's big and strong because the manufaturer calls it "SUV". You could sell them anything and they'll eat up as long as it's boosting their ego. T_T
Theres literally one reason to own an SUV in the UK as status symbol 4×4 are a high status symbol and owning an SUV is in the same ball park as a 4 by 4 that's why there in high demand here.

@@DEFECTEDSTREETRACER Jimny should be the only SUV everybody should have, no choice or pay your tribute to the poor sedans, hatchbacks, and coupes by buying one of them instead.
The space argument is useless because if you want to haul a lot of people, a minivan or wagon is a better option. If you want to haul a lot of stuff, get a truck or, if you're in Australia, a ute. Hell, the hybrid Rav 4 and Highlander get about the same gas mileage as my '88 FC RX-7 convertible. 1500 kilos and a rotary engine and I still get 20 mpg on average
I think the idea for SUVs is they want a few things: large cargo/passenger capacity, decent fuel mileage, AND to sit high. Both SUVs and wagons have the first two things but people like sitting up higher, both for personal reasons as well as comfort getting in or out if you're older. The benefit of the SUV over a truck is that you can get 3 rows or 1-2 rows with space in the back. With a truck, you're only getting a bed and 2 rows of seats. Plus, if you want stuff covered, you would have to buy a camper shell or a cover if you got a truck.
@@thomascortes968 My grandparents drove a Volkswagen Jetta until a couple years ago when they couldn't get their licenses renewed. At over 70, they had no trouble getting into and out of a sedan. Also, a lot of trucks have a bed cover as standard these days. As for the gas mileage argument, like I said, the Rav 4 and Highlander hybrids, which don't even use the ICE sometimes, get similar gas mileage to a 1500 kilo car with an engine that literally spits gas out the tailpipe
@@filmandfirearms Some people wear differently. Some don't have a problem getting in and out, some do. As for the RAV4, what year are you looking at? The 2020 standard model gets 26c/35h and the hybrid gets 41c/38h. I went to the RX-7 reddit page asking about fuel mileage and the highest I saw for an FC was 27mpg with an average of 15-22mpg.
@@thomascortes968 I used to work at a Toyota dealership. Every single Rav 4 or Highlander, hybrids included, and we're talking 2017 at the oldest, the mpg calculator showed 20 mpg or less.

SUV's nor any kind of automotive platform will ever become the rage forever. The sensitive individuality of our growing society will eventually kill off the SUV trend Think about "the kid that wants to fit in" and "the kid that wants to be bold and unique" as more and more people grow towards fitting in a trend, other people will fight against that trend for as long as they need to. Eventually there's going to be so many SUV's that will even hurt an SUV owner's individuality and will opt to looking different Car manufacturers are making it easy to kill the trend because they all SUV's look the same. In 20 years you'll see people getting sick of seeing SUV's and when they see that c7 Corvette or the BMW 3 series they'll be like "I guess I don't need that much space if I want to be unique" and suddenly there might be a coupe trend, or sedan trend. Much like how there's a trend today of "4-door coupes" or "coupe back/sport back" they will be called full-sized sedans again eventually too
@@ultraguy8771 that's not a Corvette branded car, the SSR had a Corvette engine, the SS and the Ute higher trims had all Corvette engines but none of them are corvettes

I really don't see the point it's like a normal car but bloated ? Wooo? also fun fact Ferrari sued a charity just to get the name for their lame SUV
My dad was setting his eyes on either an RX L or a Range Rover Sport. . I managed to talk him out of getting an SUV. He's always had sedans and one wagon. Respect to him for not succumbing to the trend. Almost.
As someone who has owned an SUV, I really don't get it. My commute had me arriving in a Civic and leaving in an ML350 for a while, and I didn't notice some big difference in visibility or space. If anything the ML350 was worse on both, having a poorly designed interior and gigantic A-pillars.
It’s a Napoleon syndrome thing. Be the big tank on the road..... in reality suvs are horrible vehicles, terrible handling, high change of a roll over, and when you have an ignorant kid or adult they now ram with twice the weight 😃. They are dull uninspiring to drive and way overkill for the average person. All the negatives of a truck with very few of the positives. I’ve always seen them as a minivan, and they basically are a mini van with a trucking front end.
@@backyardboosters9128 now I do disagree with you on SUVs and that's because I have one and needed it because I live right outside of town and the river tends to flood the highway during the rainy season and had to drive through the water and if I didn't have an SUV or truck then I wouldn't have made it through. Problem with trucks is most of the time you are limited on passenger space and the problem with cars is they are low to get through any situation like that.

@@CheapskateMotorsports All peoples and nations regard their own country "the whole world" in some way.

The whole world is just one big Florida…sorry to break it to you. Now excuse me I will be trying to ride the alligator that’s in my backyard and ride off to Disneyland while snorting Grandma’s homemade meth.
Im scare in a future were there will be more SUV's on the road compared to Camry's. I'm also scared people will follow Ford's path and make SUV's with iconic cars named after them ( Porsche macan 911, Mazda CX-5 miata, etc)
SUVs are stupid except for Jeeps and G- Wagons since they have military heritage. Hatchbacks and Wagons are better looking and way more practical and objectively cooler. SUVs are only bough because people like to feel tall
Cayenne gets a pass as it's the OG sports crossover everyone ripped off and a good expansion to compete with BMW. Also the Aztek because it tried to do something unique and practical even if it failed at it.
My family has had only SUVs. In my 18 years of living here and in the years preceding my birth. So its been over 2 decades since a sedan touched the driveway. Me and my brother drove a 4runner for our first car. But I needed my own car. So i noticed I could get a new sedan for the same price as an older SUV. So I got a camry. Almost got a grand Cherokee. I can tell you why at least my family never wanted a sedan. My dad needed to haul. And he liked how much more practical SUVs are compared to a sedan. Me and my brother never really been in a sedan. We both had the mindset they were very small and uncomfortable. And to an extent I dont think we were wrong. I see car reviews. It's always a big deal about back seat head room and leg room. Most suvs dont have to worry about that. I'm not lazy but the difference between getting into a sedan and suv and looking around is night and day. SUVs are higher and much simpler to get in. But I got a Camry. And my entire family was very impressed. The leg room and head room is very nice. The gas mileage is very nice. The car is good looking and very sporty looking due to aftermarket stuff the previous owner had done to it. And I really liked it. We almost took my moms Lexus suv on a 10 hour road trip. But my dad decided to take my car for the has mileage. Probably the biggest inconvenience of the car was trying to make sure 4 peoples luggage fit into the trunk. An suv would have eaten it all no problem. Just barely got all our stuff in. The ride was very comfortable. But the Camry is a mid size. So it is pretty good for 4 people. I think my family has a new look on sedans now. My dad wanted the grand Cherokee but is actually happy he listened to me and got the Camry. I got use to being low to the ground. But if you never been low to the ground before it is very annoying. Giant suvs block your sight in a line and you cant see the light. And again getting in and out is proably the biggest annoyance with my car. I'm athletic and not lazy. But an SUV is so much more simpler. Noticed some cars are becoming a life back instead of a trunk. Those are very interesting. I hope every sedan starts having that soon. I personally am very happy with my Camry though. Just giving my experience going from 18 years of SUVs to a sedan.
@@baronvonjo1929 I'm being serious, it's well written. Generally, people can't write properly and give me a hard time reading a long comment, but yours is fine.

I wanna see vans make a comeback and topple Crossovers, they have everything they need to do so, I.e they're way more practical, and have the capacity to be more fun to drive due to longer wheelbases and lower COGs. I honestly believe that vans are the only vehicle type that could possibly challenge the reign of crossovers, if their stigma kills them off (something van manufacturers aren't doing a good enough job of trying to get rid of...), i think the auto motive industry is fucked for anyone else who doesn't want a crossover.
@@Journey_to_who_knowsVans come in all shapes and sizes though, from some thing as small as a toyota sienta (168 inches in length) to a Mazda 5(181 inches) to the full sized American ones like the sedona, Pacifica amd Odyssey. You could totally make a a compact van work as both a practical hauler and a well handling speed demon. That's why I like vans so much, you don't have to make too many compromises to get the best of both worlds
@@bearieroblox6451 Uncool, maybe, but certainly not ugly. It's not the 2000s anymore, vans have come a long way in regards to styling. They more than hold their own on regards to Crossovers in this category. As long as vans remain extremely popular in Asia, I have faith that they can make a comeback in the US, van manufacturers here just have take more risks in regards to how design and market their vans here. Vans are sort of like Kirby, they can theoretically do nearly everything every other car type can do once given traits of that car. The ability for vans to be the most flexible car type on the planet is what makes them cool, at least in my opinion.
@@bearieroblox6451 To add on, vans are only seen as such in America, they're perception is completely different in Asia, so the "uncool" factor is NOT inherent to the vehicle type, it's related to the way vans in America are made and marketed. Vans here are associated with family and children, whereas in Asia, they're associated with business, chauffeuring and wealthy families. They're legitimate aspirational vehicles in Asia, so it's all about how they treat their vans compared to how we treat ours.
Sometimes, I honestly feel like Life slowly kills off everything I like in the world. You like gas guzzlers? Global warming it is. You like cool sedans, coupes and hatches? SUV's and crossovers you get. You LOVE the sound of combustion engine? Electric cars and emition regulations: *let us introduce ourselves* .
After working at Lowes for a year and loading lumber, grills, and machinery into customers cars, I can confirm that SUVs are far less useful than people believe. A lot of customers had to come back with a pickup or rent ours. Contractors never drove SUVs, they drove trucks to transport loads or sedans if it was just for travelling. I think that speaks for itself.
I think what will happen is SUVs will continue to dominate the market, but a few years from now, car manufacturers will advertise something like "It is like an SUV, but smaller so it can be faster in a straight line and through corners, be less likely to rollover, be more economical, have better proportions, and be cheaper to buy." basically, something that is actually a decent automobile.
This whole topic makes my skin crawl .. Alot of "SUVs" aren't even sporty or utilitarian.. Hell some of the ugly misshapen Chelsea tractors out there almost don't deserve to be called vehicles either Its a depressing future for car guys and gals ahead 😔
I was more excited when I saw the Hyundai Prophecy, an electric saloon, then I have been for any crossover/SUV. Hyundai are looking at making more interesting cars than most manufactures nowadays. Think about that. A Hyundai. That a die hard petrolhead wants. What on earth has happened to the motoring industry?!
The problem with suv's is due to loopholes in the auto manufacturing world, the acceptable emissions standards are different based on the weight of the vehicules, so most companies find it way easier to just add just enough weight to fall in the next category than try to improve their car's efficiency

I don't think it will quite take over the entire market It'll take a vast majority, but no way will every single light road vehicle be an SUV or pickup truck Yes manufacturers will probably make mostly SUVs, but there's still going to be those makers that at least have a car, if not making exclusively that I mean I know you mentioned ferrari making an SUV concept or whatever, but that's to be expected But I can't imagine something like pagani, or mclaren, making an SUV I mean, mclaren, possible; but pagani? come on, they only make around 12 cars a year they sell cars for more than most people's houses they have around 55 employees can you really see pagani making an SUV? because I can't
Suv drivers tend to not see my car for some reason..... And the same person who told me they got a Suv because “its safer” ironically got into a wreck the same year they had it🙃 we’re not friends so i dont feel bad
Companies weren't selling new cars because people could just buy used ones, while modern SUVs are vastly different from used SUVs. When used sedans get to old to work properly, I think there is a good chance they will come back(at least a little bit).
First of all, I like the green on your Golf GTI. Really nice color! Second, I do think they already have taken over the world, but I think it's not forever. I bet some buyers will probably move onto wanting to buy something else. While I understand why SUVs are taking over the world, I really, TRULY HATE IT! With that said, I will only own a SUV ever if I have no choice. If I ever have kids, I'll try my best to get a Wagon before considering a SUV or CUV. Which is why I'm hoping to win the lottery, so I can buy an Audi RS6 Avant.
Totally get a wagon as a family car, they give you more trunk space than SUVs, they are less prone to rolling over and are safer for pedestrians (SUVs inflict worse injuries, hitting the pedestrians higher than a standard car)
crossovers and other suv variants make companies like ford, kill off their beloved focus rs, ford gt's and mustangs. like damn, i want something with real appeal, not karen soccer practice looks when im driving downtown.
I work at a Acura dealership and most elderly people buy SUV'S, but don't even use the second row seat and not even the third row seats which collect so much dust! I'd rather buy a Focus RS for example plus it's got a stick bois!
SUVs themselves aren't bad, and I feel like most manufacturers should have a small, medium and large SUV, but ford doesn't need an SUV for every day of the week, and they definitely don't need a mustang SUV. The idea of a sport SUV isn't a bad one, like the the lambo ures or the Dodge Durango SRT, but Ford's lame ST modals are nothing interesting, and definitely not a mustang SUV
Hopefully with the stock market down the gas prices sky rocket back up and then everyone goes back to cars, like everyone did in 2008, even though gas prices are down because the oil industry is booming again

I never thought we would get to the era where there's literally SUPERCAR SUVS. I get luxury SUVs cause you need all that room but supercar SUVs? Those 2 just don't go together in my opinion.
I like SUV's. But funny thing is, I only like old SUV's. These new ones are ugly, their too computerized, and they're just eh. If I'm going to be honest though the only modern SUVs I actually think looks cool is the Kia Telluride and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Other then that I could care less about em. All of my dream cars are 20 plus year old
Thank you! Someone finally said it! I hate SUVs so much! Anything an SUV, another car can do it better. You need 3 rows? get a minivan! And a hatch or wagon can beat a CUV. They are far less efficient than their competition, and thus are killing the planet.
I miss the time back when I was a kid in the 90s and 2000s,I honestly feel like there was more variety in cars back then (there were hatchbacks, sedans, station wagons, coupes, sports cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, etc.),these days it seems like half of modern car models on the market are SUVs.
My parents have a GMC Yukon. A older model(I couldn't remember the year) that has been with us for about 10 years. This vehicle can fit 7 people and still have enough room for luggage. It was the go-to vehicle for vacations because we would have more than 5 ride. So to say a SUV isn't worth it seems absurd to me.
People buy SUVs because cars are small. If we still had regular sized cars like we did in the 50’s - 80’s, trust me we only still be driving cars and wagons
People say they need an SUV, so being fooled by labels, they buy a Toyota Rav4 or something similar. Being fooled also, they don’t know they got it in FWD. They brag how their SUV has more room and is more capable than cars when really some grocery getters like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon have more room and can be more capable as they can have AWD.
Lucky Seven capable😂 and they’ve probably never owned anything besides a suv. My daily “race car” doesn’t have passenger seats for weight reduction and I could fit as much as I need

My dad wants to replase his Hyundai i40(wagon) with the Hyundai Tucson(suv) because it is easier to get in to and it would have a softer ride and the AWD system would help it not get stuck at our cottage (again).

I’ve had various low sports cars to high pickups. My last car was a rather lowish and arguably awkward to get in and out, BMW 335. Just replaced it with a Jeep GC. At the age of 42 I can tell you comfort and ease of exit/entry is hugely important. Wait until you get older and you will see. So no, I don’t see SUV’s ever going away.
I’ll admit there are good SUVs like SQ8/RSQ8 but at the same time you can’t really take a car like the Mustang and Corvette and make that into a SUV And of course there are better alternatives
SUV'S/CROSS-OVER'S FOR LIFE! 1. BETTER EGRESS & INGRESS 2. BETTER CARGO CAPACITY 3. BETTER USE FOR ALL WEATHER & ROAD CONDITIONS 4. SIMILAR GAS MILEAGE TODAY. 5. SUV'S ARE BETTER "UTILITARIAN" DESIGN. CAR'S ORIGINALLY WERE STYLED AS SUV'S. UNFORTUNATELY, FROM THE 60/70's THE INDUSTRY STRAYED... AND SINCE THE 90'S SLOWLY GOT BACK TO PRODUCING USEFUL "UTILITARIAN" DESIGNS.
I feel like you should have distinguished Body on Frame SUVs and Unibody Crossovers. Not to say that no unibody crossovers are capable but generally, but your typical crossover just isn't as capable as a body on frame SUV whether it be towing or off-roading. Very few of modern utilities are actually true SUVs. Many nameplates like the Nissan Pathfinder and Chevy Blazer have gone from being capable off-roaders to soccer mom vehicles. However body on frame does seem to be making somewhat of a comeback with vehicles such as the upcoming Ford Bronco and GMC Hummer, which makes me very happy. One good thing about the crossover boom is that wagons such as the Audi RS6 are finally coming to the US as they brand themselves as utilities.
Maybe people buy SUVs because most love the high seating position, most relate big vehicle to safety and people love the idea of having something 'all in one', like SUVs are getting quicker, more space, can tow things, have more road presence etc.
SUVs are objectively worse vehicles unless you have a family. They cost more to get the same level of quality, use more fuel, are harder to park, in some cases they are far more unsafe, they take up way too much space. I can understand the use for a large SUV, they can be more comfortable and more practical for a large family. But cross overs are literally the most useless thing in existence. Often larger and somehow less practical than a hatchback. My Ford focus has more legroom than some crossovers. DO NOT buy an SUV unless you have a family, you might as well burn your money
I live in Romania, here the roads are very bad and there are just two small highways. At least in my city the roads are horrible. A good daily car would be a SUV. But I'll never have 2-3 SUVs.
I think owning an SUV is egocentric. It consumes more and it's more dangerous for pedestrians (especially kids) in case of a collision. And it's also more dangerous for the other lighter, smaller cars. And you can't see in front of them if you are behind. It's literally bad for everyone except the owner.
Crossover SUVs are horrible existences. They're not sporty because of the ride height but they can't go offroad because they're built for road use. The cargo room is no better than a wagon yet they're heavier and worse aerodynamically versus a wagon. The reason I hate these cars so much is because otherwise companies like Lamborghini would have made their crossovers sexy wagons instead. Hell, Alfa Romeo would've given us the Giulia wagon instead if the pointless Stelvio if consumers weren't so retarded to want crossovers
Suv's will not take over the world we are in the times of fashion you can see that in the clothes markets phone markets and car market. Perdonaly i don't see enythink bad about SUV's though i prefair hathbacks. And the biggest thing for SUV's is new buying demographics more and more girls are getting behind the wheel and nearly all of them prefair crossovers and SUV's

@@77Phoenix yeah that's true.

God bless your country, not America. I am not a mean person.
Love my stick shift Volvo V70. Here in the US, manual wagons are rare to begin with let alone Volvo ones.
I love German wagons BMW, Mercedes-Benz
Here in Greece wagons and manuals are still going Strong too
I’m really hoping the Audi RS6 Avant can get more Americans to stop buying driveable lunchboxes and buy wagons instead
I don't really see the point in SUVs. Barely any of them have any real off road capability, barely any of them have more cargo space than any standard sedans, wagon or hatchbacks, aren't as safe thanks to being easier to roll, and aren't as good to drive.
The only real reason I've heard that makes sense is that they're easier to get into, so people who are overweight, or old, or otherwise find it more difficult getting in and out of cars, do have a reason to go for an SUV.
People like to tout their ride quality too but I find them literally sickening to ride in because of their huge body roll. Its like riding on one of those springy things at playgrounds.
Golden Grenadier Yeah, I haven't really been in any of the more popular ones, or at least haven't paid attention, but I could definitely see that. I prefer something nice and planted, a little roll is fine, but I'd rather not feel like it's going to flip.
GamesGoodBeeBad Awesome man! Good luck with that. I know I need to exercise more. Started full time work that has been more physical than I'm used to, and I'm definitely not as fit as I thought I was lol.
Larger suspension travel means a more comfortable ride on undulating roads. Decent off roading (and I'm not talking about that silly BMW x1; it's macan and upwards that I'm talking about) means you aren't at the mercy of flag zero degrees roads to have a comfortable ride, and it's not like you're going to be throwing your GT or MPV around corners or B roads either. So nobody is really using their car to their fullest. Might as well get the most utilitarian one.
@@arjun._.bbC6 Stop with this bullshit.
And suvs aren't any more practical than a kombi. Their "larger" boot comes from height, kombis have longer and wider boots.
I haven't seen many people load their cars to the top
I'd go for a hatchback long before an SUV. Some have immense cargo space, while still retaining most positive attributes of cars: better handling, good fuel economy, lower cost, etc. I absolutely loved my old Honda Fit for those reasons.
Race Byte My dad got me a Fit for my first car back in 2008. It never had any issues other than a broken break light.
Wagons are pretty cool, you can lower the suspension and they will still look good unlike SUVs
@@ethanmarcus1048 GTI!!!!!
If you need a lot of cargo space, get a wagon. Same amount as most suvs, and with a center of gravity that’s actually reasonable. Not to mention better handling, acceleration, braking, fuel economy, the fact that it’s easier to drive and that parking is less of a nightmare, and visibility.
@@Redneck_Technophile Yeah I love wagons too! Sadly there aren't as many options though.

Well no cuz its old
Why wagons if liftbacks exist? They have cargo space which is comparable to wagons (look at Škoda Octavia for example) while not being long-ass cars (they look like your ordinary sedans)
@@dfsstuff6572 the cargo space is awkward on liftbacks, and realistically it’s just a Sedan with a hatchbacks trunk. Doesn’t really add any free real estate. Just a different opening between the passenger cabin, and then the trunk.

SUV and crossovers sell well because manufacturers sell ideas/feelings :
You Feel safer (not really)
You think you can go anywhere off-roading(+90% 0f the times you cant)
And also on television they advertise mostly SUV's ALL THE TIME(here in Spain at least), so they make you want an SUV or Crossover, thats why they dont make so much sedans any more, the are cheaper to buy in most cases, so they sell you the SUV and make more profit
The thing is, unless you are going on some Russian outback, most Awd or raised cars will do just as well off-road, do you see rally cars sit super high ?
@@Journey_to_who_knows Rally cars drive on unpaved roads not off road
It’s not just in the USA. Here in the U.K everyone seems to be buying crossovers for some reason, and every hatchback has a crossover version, such as the focus active
It's almost a joke yet it's true. Some of the compact SUVs here in France are the same size as a mid-size hatchback, but with oversized alloy rims, plastic trim all around and fake silver roof racks. Buyers just assume it's big and strong because the manufaturer calls it "SUV". You could sell them anything and they'll eat up as long as it's boosting their ego. T_T

The space argument is useless because if you want to haul a lot of people, a minivan or wagon is a better option. If you want to haul a lot of stuff, get a truck or, if you're in Australia, a ute. Hell, the hybrid Rav 4 and Highlander get about the same gas mileage as my '88 FC RX-7 convertible. 1500 kilos and a rotary engine and I still get 20 mpg on average
I think the idea for SUVs is they want a few things: large cargo/passenger capacity, decent fuel mileage, AND to sit high. Both SUVs and wagons have the first two things but people like sitting up higher, both for personal reasons as well as comfort getting in or out if you're older. The benefit of the SUV over a truck is that you can get 3 rows or 1-2 rows with space in the back. With a truck, you're only getting a bed and 2 rows of seats. Plus, if you want stuff covered, you would have to buy a camper shell or a cover if you got a truck.
@@thomascortes968 My grandparents drove a Volkswagen Jetta until a couple years ago when they couldn't get their licenses renewed. At over 70, they had no trouble getting into and out of a sedan. Also, a lot of trucks have a bed cover as standard these days. As for the gas mileage argument, like I said, the Rav 4 and Highlander hybrids, which don't even use the ICE sometimes, get similar gas mileage to a 1500 kilo car with an engine that literally spits gas out the tailpipe
@@filmandfirearms Some people wear differently. Some don't have a problem getting in and out, some do. As for the RAV4, what year are you looking at? The 2020 standard model gets 26c/35h and the hybrid gets 41c/38h. I went to the RX-7 reddit page asking about fuel mileage and the highest I saw for an FC was 27mpg with an average of 15-22mpg.
@@thomascortes968 I used to work at a Toyota dealership. Every single Rav 4 or Highlander, hybrids included, and we're talking 2017 at the oldest, the mpg calculator showed 20 mpg or less.

SUV's nor any kind of automotive platform will ever become the rage forever. The sensitive individuality of our growing society will eventually kill off the SUV trend
Think about "the kid that wants to fit in" and "the kid that wants to be bold and unique" as more and more people grow towards fitting in a trend, other people will fight against that trend for as long as they need to. Eventually there's going to be so many SUV's that will even hurt an SUV owner's individuality and will opt to looking different
Car manufacturers are making it easy to kill the trend because they all SUV's look the same. In 20 years you'll see people getting sick of seeing SUV's and when they see that c7 Corvette or the BMW 3 series they'll be like "I guess I don't need that much space if I want to be unique" and suddenly there might be a coupe trend, or sedan trend. Much like how there's a trend today of "4-door coupes" or "coupe back/sport back" they will be called full-sized sedans again eventually too

My dad was setting his eyes on either an RX L or a Range Rover Sport. . I managed to talk him out of getting an SUV.
He's always had sedans and one wagon.
Respect to him for not succumbing to the trend. Almost.
As someone who has owned an SUV, I really don't get it. My commute had me arriving in a Civic and leaving in an ML350 for a while, and I didn't notice some big difference in visibility or space. If anything the ML350 was worse on both, having a poorly designed interior and gigantic A-pillars.
It’s a Napoleon syndrome thing. Be the big tank on the road..... in reality suvs are horrible vehicles, terrible handling, high change of a roll over, and when you have an ignorant kid or adult they now ram with twice the weight 😃. They are dull uninspiring to drive and way overkill for the average person. All the negatives of a truck with very few of the positives. I’ve always seen them as a minivan, and they basically are a mini van with a trucking front end.
Thing is Napoleon wasn't short and that's a big misconception. He was about 5'7
Geek Mechanic you’re not wrong. I’m a history nerd too.... but this is what the term has come to mean
@@backyardboosters9128 now I do disagree with you on SUVs and that's because I have one and needed it because I live right outside of town and the river tends to flood the highway during the rainy season and had to drive through the water and if I didn't have an SUV or truck then I wouldn't have made it through. Problem with trucks is most of the time you are limited on passenger space and the problem with cars is they are low to get through any situation like that.
"Will SUVs take over the world?" Typical 'Murrican not knowing there are other countries/continents...

Im scare in a future were there will be more SUV's on the road compared to Camry's. I'm also scared people will follow Ford's path and make SUV's with iconic cars named after them ( Porsche macan 911, Mazda CX-5 miata, etc)
Don’t forget about the Mitsubishi Eclipse
Ferrari is already launching their own version of their own SUV so I think the trend is accelerating forwards than going backwards.
SUVs are stupid except for Jeeps and G- Wagons since they have military heritage. Hatchbacks and Wagons are better looking and way more practical and objectively cooler. SUVs are only bough because people like to feel tall
Cayenne gets a pass as it's the OG sports crossover everyone ripped off and a good expansion to compete with BMW.
Also the Aztek because it tried to do something unique and practical even if it failed at it.
My parents don't even want to drive SUV after they bought it around 6 years ago. Very bad gas mileage
My family has had only SUVs. In my 18 years of living here and in the years preceding my birth. So its been over 2 decades since a sedan touched the driveway. Me and my brother drove a 4runner for our first car. But I needed my own car. So i noticed I could get a new sedan for the same price as an older SUV. So I got a camry. Almost got a grand Cherokee. I can tell you why at least my family never wanted a sedan. My dad needed to haul. And he liked how much more practical SUVs are compared to a sedan. Me and my brother never really been in a sedan. We both had the mindset they were very small and uncomfortable. And to an extent I dont think we were wrong. I see car reviews. It's always a big deal about back seat head room and leg room. Most suvs dont have to worry about that. I'm not lazy but the difference between getting into a sedan and suv and looking around is night and day. SUVs are higher and much simpler to get in.
But I got a Camry. And my entire family was very impressed. The leg room and head room is very nice. The gas mileage is very nice. The car is good looking and very sporty looking due to aftermarket stuff the previous owner had done to it. And I really liked it. We almost took my moms Lexus suv on a 10 hour road trip. But my dad decided to take my car for the has mileage. Probably the biggest inconvenience of the car was trying to make sure 4 peoples luggage fit into the trunk. An suv would have eaten it all no problem. Just barely got all our stuff in. The ride was very comfortable. But the Camry is a mid size. So it is pretty good for 4 people.
I think my family has a new look on sedans now. My dad wanted the grand Cherokee but is actually happy he listened to me and got the Camry.
I got use to being low to the ground. But if you never been low to the ground before it is very annoying. Giant suvs block your sight in a line and you cant see the light. And again getting in and out is proably the biggest annoyance with my car. I'm athletic and not lazy. But an SUV is so much more simpler. Noticed some cars are becoming a life back instead of a trunk. Those are very interesting. I hope every sedan starts having that soon.
I personally am very happy with my Camry though. Just giving my experience going from 18 years of SUVs to a sedan.

Vans are sort of like Kirby, they can theoretically do nearly everything every other car type can do once given traits of that car. The ability for vans to be the most flexible car type on the planet is what makes them cool, at least in my opinion.
@@bearieroblox6451 To add on, vans are only seen as such in America, they're perception is completely different in Asia, so the "uncool" factor is NOT inherent to the vehicle type, it's related to the way vans in America are made and marketed. Vans here are associated with family and children, whereas in Asia, they're associated with business, chauffeuring and wealthy families. They're legitimate aspirational vehicles in Asia, so it's all about how they treat their vans compared to how we treat ours.

After working at Lowes for a year and loading lumber, grills, and machinery into customers cars, I can confirm that SUVs are far less useful than people believe. A lot of customers had to come back with a pickup or rent ours.
Contractors never drove SUVs, they drove trucks to transport loads or sedans if it was just for travelling. I think that speaks for itself.
I miss the days when a lot of people had 2 door cars in large varieties of colors.
I miss the Mitsubishi Eclipse, I loved seeing them on the road, now its like they are all gone.
I think what will happen is SUVs will continue to dominate the market, but a few years from now, car manufacturers will advertise something like "It is like an SUV, but smaller so it can be faster in a straight line and through corners, be less likely to rollover, be more economical, have better proportions, and be cheaper to buy." basically, something that is actually a decent automobile.

A hatchback is a good alternative to this it bridges the gap in between suvs and cars while having more space than sedans
Suv drivers tend to not see my car for some reason.....
And the same person who told me they got a Suv because “its safer” ironically got into a wreck the same year they had it🙃 we’re not friends so i dont feel bad
Companies weren't selling new cars because people could just buy used ones, while modern SUVs are vastly different from used SUVs. When used sedans get to old to work properly, I think there is a good chance they will come back(at least a little bit).
First of all, I like the green on your Golf GTI. Really nice color! Second, I do think they already have taken over the world, but I think it's not forever. I bet some buyers will probably move onto wanting to buy something else. While I understand why SUVs are taking over the world, I really, TRULY HATE IT!
With that said, I will only own a SUV ever if I have no choice. If I ever have kids, I'll try my best to get a Wagon before considering a SUV or CUV. Which is why I'm hoping to win the lottery, so I can buy an Audi RS6 Avant.
Totally get a wagon as a family car, they give you more trunk space than SUVs, they are less prone to rolling over and are safer for pedestrians (SUVs inflict worse injuries, hitting the pedestrians higher than a standard car)
I shed a tear every time I see an edge ST or explorer ST and think of the old focuses and fiestas

SUVs themselves aren't bad, and I feel like most manufacturers should have a small, medium and large SUV, but ford doesn't need an SUV for every day of the week, and they definitely don't need a mustang SUV.

I’m 24 and also a millennial who drive a Toyota Corolla S sad sedans are disappearing
alot of girls have told me they want a truck/suv because they are safer and feel like it's armor for them
Let them buy the gas
Most modern "SUVs" aren't even true SUVs but instead just unibody crossovers that are nowhere near the capability of a truck.
@@AE86FTS yes but its more about like in most case their feelings and not reality
Good luck with their high chance of rollovers and horrible handling
Placebo and alotta ppl speed in these heavy ass vehicles...suv + speeding/weight trasfer = barrel roll
My parents have a GMC Yukon. A older model(I couldn't remember the year) that has been with us for about 10 years. This vehicle can fit 7 people and still have enough room for luggage. It was the go-to vehicle for vacations because we would have more than 5 ride. So to say a SUV isn't worth it seems absurd to me.
They are just buying a working truck and never use as a truck
Most modern "SUVs" aren't even true SUVs and would make terrible work trucks.
People buy SUVs because cars are small. If we still had regular sized cars like we did in the 50’s - 80’s, trust me we only still be driving cars and wagons
There are only two SUVs I'd buy: The Lamborghini Urus and the G wagon
Performance Josh the g wagon is a wagon not a suv
@@bacon_bh5038 If you take an AMG it an SUV because SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle and it all of that
People say they need an SUV, so being fooled by labels, they buy a Toyota Rav4 or something similar. Being fooled also, they don’t know they got it in FWD. They brag how their SUV has more room and is more capable than cars when really some grocery getters like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon have more room and can be more capable as they can have AWD.
Lucky Seven capable😂 and they’ve probably never owned anything besides a suv. My daily “race car” doesn’t have passenger seats for weight reduction and I could fit as much as I need
Well in southeast asia or other 3rd world countries where floods happen often, SUV makes perfect sense
But too bad most of the ones in this video will fall apart on the first dirt track, Range Rovers have a reputation for falling apart before they can even get off-road
Then buy a truck, an suv is honestly just a worse version of a truck.
My dad owns a 2006 Subaru Forester it's considered a 4 door coupe/station wagon it's a crossover SUV's and crossovers used to be good now they have got out of hand I still want an 88 to 98 Chevrolet K1500 stepside 5 speed manual for my 17th birthday on December 9th of this year
Just bought a volvo 850 wagon. Love it death to suvs
You can do a Gus Fring cosplay for Halloween now
It needs to stop. I think sports cars should takeover
My dad wants to replase his Hyundai i40(wagon) with the Hyundai Tucson(suv) because it is easier to get in to and it would have a softer ride and the AWD system would help it not get stuck at our cottage (again).

The Tucson is a really good car and very comfortable!
@@Xg78 Thanks I will keep that in mind when it comes time to replase his Hyundai i40.

Before the Tucson we had the i30 as wagon :D
But the i30 was a little bit sluggish when it was fully loaded (only 135hp) so we switched to the Tucson with 180hp.
I love my RUclips recommendation feed... ...”corona”... ...”COVID-19”... ...”SUVs are taking over the world!” Holy F€#$!!!! This is serious! This madness needs to stop! Self quarantine my butt! THIS is the issue that we need to pay attention too!
I’ve had various low sports cars to high pickups. My last car was a rather lowish and arguably awkward to get in and out, BMW 335. Just replaced it with a Jeep GC. At the age of 42 I can tell you comfort and ease of exit/entry is hugely important. Wait until you get older and you will see. So no, I don’t see SUV’s ever going away.
I’ll admit there are good SUVs like SQ8/RSQ8 but at the same time you can’t really take a car like the Mustang and Corvette and make that into a SUV
And of course there are better alternatives
None of the vehicles you mentioned are SUVs. They are all crossovers.
Suv's💯🥵🇩🇪
So SUVs are 100 sweaty germans?
SUVs are The unwanted Child of pick-up trucks and wagons
The one that sends everyone friend requests
I love SUVs
Ew no
Badass gas mileage
@@GF-mf7ml Still, muscle cars have worse gas mileage than SUVs.
Lolly Ofelly but muscle cars never acted like they get good gas mileage they are objectively fun, bad ass V8 engine drag strip kings
But you can't do burnout in a SUV
SUV'S/CROSS-OVER'S FOR LIFE! 1. BETTER EGRESS & INGRESS 2. BETTER CARGO CAPACITY 3. BETTER USE FOR ALL WEATHER & ROAD CONDITIONS 4. SIMILAR GAS MILEAGE TODAY. 5. SUV'S ARE BETTER "UTILITARIAN" DESIGN. CAR'S ORIGINALLY WERE STYLED AS SUV'S. UNFORTUNATELY, FROM THE 60/70's THE INDUSTRY STRAYED... AND SINCE THE 90'S SLOWLY GOT BACK TO PRODUCING USEFUL "UTILITARIAN" DESIGNS.
I feel like you should have distinguished Body on Frame SUVs and Unibody Crossovers. Not to say that no unibody crossovers are capable but generally, but your typical crossover just isn't as capable as a body on frame SUV whether it be towing or off-roading. Very few of modern utilities are actually true SUVs. Many nameplates like the Nissan Pathfinder and Chevy Blazer have gone from being capable off-roaders to soccer mom vehicles. However body on frame does seem to be making somewhat of a comeback with vehicles such as the upcoming Ford Bronco and GMC Hummer, which makes me very happy. One good thing about the crossover boom is that wagons such as the Audi RS6 are finally coming to the US as they brand themselves as utilities.
Maybe people buy SUVs because most love the high seating position, most relate big vehicle to safety and people love the idea of having something 'all in one', like SUVs are getting quicker, more space, can tow things, have more road presence etc.
CARS (2DRS, 4DRS & CONVERTIBLES) ONLY MAKE SENSE AS TOYS... WEEKEND TRACK QUEENS OR GROUP OUTINGS. FACTS!!!!
SUVs are objectively worse vehicles unless you have a family. They cost more to get the same level of quality, use more fuel, are harder to park, in some cases they are far more unsafe, they take up way too much space.
I can understand the use for a large SUV, they can be more comfortable and more practical for a large family. But cross overs are literally the most useless thing in existence. Often larger and somehow less practical than a hatchback. My Ford focus has more legroom than some crossovers. DO NOT buy an SUV unless you have a family, you might as well burn your money
I live in Romania, here the roads are very bad and there are just two small highways. At least in my city the roads are horrible. A good daily car would be a SUV. But I'll never have 2-3 SUVs.
I think owning an SUV is egocentric. It consumes more and it's more dangerous for pedestrians (especially kids) in case of a collision. And it's also more dangerous for the other lighter, smaller cars. And you can't see in front of them if you are behind.
It's literally bad for everyone except the owner.
Crossover SUVs are horrible existences. They're not sporty because of the ride height but they can't go offroad because they're built for road use. The cargo room is no better than a wagon yet they're heavier and worse aerodynamically versus a wagon.
The reason I hate these cars so much is because otherwise companies like Lamborghini would have made their crossovers sexy wagons instead. Hell, Alfa Romeo would've given us the Giulia wagon instead if the pointless Stelvio if consumers weren't so retarded to want crossovers
Suv's will not take over the world we are in the times of fashion you can see that in the clothes markets phone markets and car market. Perdonaly i don't see enythink bad about SUV's though i prefair hathbacks. And the biggest thing for SUV's is new buying demographics more and more girls are getting behind the wheel and nearly all of them prefair crossovers and SUV's
