Abstract
This essay explores the practicality and potential problems of SUVs in urban areas. It discusses why many people, especially those with larger families, choose SUVs, highlighting their need for space and safety. While SUVs offer advantages like greater cargo capacity and better crash test ratings, they also come with drawbacks, such as higher fuel consumption and increased emissions, which contribute to environmental issues like climate change. The essay also questions whether electric SUVs could be a solution, though concerns about battery mineral extraction persist. Ultimately, it concludes that the growing popularity of SUVs is driven by practicality, but cultural and environmental factors may shape future trends in vehicle preferences.
