In Germany, SUVs represent a significant portion of the car market, with 40% of new cars being SUVs. The average weight of new vehicles has also increased by nearly a fifth over the past 20 years. Despite their overall popularity, certain regions, particularly major cities, see lower SUV ownership rates due to size restrictions. Southern Thuringia holds the highest concentration of SUVs, while Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania leads at the state level with a 19% SUV quota, revealing stark regional differences in vehicle preferences across the country.
The average size of passenger vehicles has grown, with the new cars weighing approximately 1,632 kilograms, almost a fifth more than two decades ago.
Around 40 percent of new cars on the German market are SUVs today, marking a significant rise in the market's trend towards larger vehicles.
The hottest SUV regions, according to Verivox, include Southern Thuringia, with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania accounting for the highest state quota at 19 percent.
In major German cities, the share of SUVs is lower, about 11 percent below the national average, attributed to the limitations of vehicle size.
