The Rav4 is not a "smaller SUV," it's huge compared to popular SUVs we have in Europe: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/skoda-kamiq-2019-suv-vs-toyota-

  It’s shorter than plenty of reasonable sedans? Just because there exist smaller vehicles doesn’t make it “not small”.

    I've seen a couple around Berlin and they're noticably large. In French cities the streets/cars/parking spaces are even smaller.

  The point is the "RAV4" and similar SUVs sit on a sedan-size wheelbase. A bit heavier than sedans but similar dimensions: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/toyota-corolla-2018-sedan-eu-vs-toyota-rav4-2019-suv-swb/ https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/toyota-corolla-2018... The proposed Australian laws misleadingly highlight the massive American trucks as the focus of the new fees. But if they follow Paris as the reports said, the "RAV4" will be caught up in the new fees simply because of WEIGHT, not physical dimensions that impact parking spaces. The RAV4 is nothing like a Ram 1500: https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/toyota-rav4-2019-suv-swb-vs-ram-1500-2018-4-door-pickup-crew-cab-5/ https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/compare/toyota-rav4-2019-su...
