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

3.44K 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?

Because in certain countries you CAN, countries like yankee land likes to promote bigger is better… so thats what you get

Yanks roads are sufficiently big enough for big cars

Many parts of Europe would be inaccessible

Australia’s heading the way of big SUVs, due to tax benefits making them feasible, but theres a lot of backlash. Despite Australia being very big, our infrastructure/park lots are too small for them
