I grew up before SUV existed. I had siblings. Somehow we survived. Many countries around the world don't have an SUV epidemic. Somehow families there make it work with smaller cars, even today. Many people around the world have large families and zero cars. Somehow they make it work. People are MADE to want big cars by advertisements. Other than the emissions standards mentioned by other commenters, the real solution is to ban car advertisements. We should ban gambling and alcohol advertisements as well. It worked for tobacco.

People also survived in caves long ago. The fact that humans have survived various uncomfortable situations doesn't make them stop wanting to be more comfortable. Nope. People go test drive them, and realize it's nicer to have more space. There are cars in every shape and size in the US. I went to buy a midsized SUV and ended up with a full SUV after test driving. It's much more comfortable. More space is valued by humans in houses, cars, airline seats, hotel rooms and various other places.
