Even in Asia, MENA, and South America as well, if you can afford a big car you will buy one.

There's a reason pickups like the Hilux, D-Max, Ford F150, and Vigo are a luxury in ASEAN and the MENA, SUVs like Scorpio or Fortuner in India+Nepal, and pickups like Tacoma and Toro in Cental+South America

The EU isn't representative for the rest of the world either.

Eh, even Europeans appear to getting larger vehicles. SUV's hit 51% of all new European car sales in 2023. Granted though it's mostly compact and sub compact CUV's.

Yep. People just like big cars.

I love biking and walking, but it just isn't popular.
