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

3.47K 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?

There are a lot of idiotically huge suburban limo tanks out there but have you guys ever ridden in an old “boat” from the 60s or 70s? Impractical cars has been an American pastime for awhile now.
