Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) have been criticized for a variety of environmental and safety-related reasons. They generally have poorer fuel efficiency and require more resources to manufacture than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to climate change and environmental degradation. Their higher center of gravity significantly increases their risk of rollovers. Their larger mass increases their momentum, which results in a larger braking distance and more damage to other road users in collisions. Their higher front-end profile reduces visibility and makes them at least twice as likely to kill pedestrians they hit. Additionally, the psychological sense of security they provide influences drivers to drive less cautiously or rely on their car for their perceived safety, rather than thei

  • Las críticas a los vehículos deportivos utilitarios son la expresión de desacuerdo con los SUV realizadas por varios grupos, organizaciones e individuos. La crítica está relacionada con los riesgos que derivan del uso de dichos vehículos para el resto de viandantes y el medio ambiente, y con la falsa ilusión de sus beneficios para los propietarios.

  • Les critiques des SUV et 4×4 sont celles émises à l'égard des sport utility vehicles (aussi appelés « véhicules utilitaires sport » au Québec) et des véhicules tout-terrain, « light truck », « light-duty trucks », pick-ups et « 4 × 4 » urbains, et de leur utilisation. Elles émergent d'associations comme le WWF ou Greenpeace dès le début des années 2000 et visent principalement l'impact environnemental, les problèmes d'occupation de l'espace urbain, et le risque causé pour les tiers en cas d'accident.

  • Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) dikritik dengan berbagai alasan lingkungan dan keselamatan karena mereka menjadi terkenal. Banyak masalah keamanan telah ditangani oleh adopsi electronic stability control atau kontrol stabilitas elektronik (ESC), mitigasi terguling, dan tindakan desain lainnya. (in)
