I think it's because consumer demand in the last decade has shifted from estates to SUVs which is horrible.
- samwillis 3y agoMy observation here in the UK is there may be a shift back to estates, or that may just be confirmation bias (having done just that).
- dm319 3y agoI think it's just a fashion, and when people realise they get less efficiency or space for the equivalent SUV they will re-consider saloon/estates/MPVs.
- lumost 3y agoI’ve wondered how much of this is a reaction to decaying road infrastructure. In the northeast, I’d be skeptical of sedan durability unless it had 6 inches of clearance. At that point, you might as well make an suv.
- byw 3y agoMy parents' Ford Edge (mid-sized SUV)'s ride quality is much worse than most sedans I drove. I don't know if it's the big rims/thin tires or crappy suspensions; probably a combination of both. In any case, being an SUV is no guarantee of smoother rides, especially with modern SUVs trying to be more "sporty".
