The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. (english.elpais.com)

There is also that pesky light truck exemption the USA has held on to for decades.

I wonder if something similar comes into play in the European market as well.
