A key value is that larger cars are worse in every single accident avoidance situation. Braking distances are longer in the dry and much longer in the wet, moose test results are often failed by large SUVs, rollover risks are higher, and general vehicle visibility is worse. A Toyota RAV4 for example has a stopping distance (in ideal situations) of 135ft. A Camry stops 15 feet quicker. Interestingly, the Hybrid RAV4 Prime with eco-focused tires stops up to 12 feet further than the base RAV4. This isn't all due to SUVs of course, a Volvo XC40 does it in a stunning 110ft. But cheap tires and small brake packages harm SUVs worse.
