Why are cars today so big compared to their older models?

3.10K views

I’m not just talking about pickup trucks that have gotten huge, but rather cars in general. Take a look at the 5th generation Honda Civic hatchback and compare it to the newest Honda Civic Hatchback model. Not only did the car gain approximately 1,000lbs/453Kg, but its length, height, and space drastically changed. Sure it’s a 30 year difference but even other car models from the early 2010s compared to their same models today are way bigger and heavier in just under a decade Why is this?

Each new version of a car will have many upgrades including interior space to tempt buyers.
As each model gets larger, the brand will have a new entry level smaller car enter the market below it.
Look at the VW Golf from a Mk1 to 8.

Now with other VW’s filling the size space Mk1
