Stimmt, Querschnittsfläche, Bodenabstand und Gewicht sind weitere Faktoren. Nichts, wo SUVs gut abschneiden,accountfuerdown schrieb:
- SUV's müssen nicht zwingend mehr Sprit verbrauchen. Nur weil sie einen schlechteren cW Wert haben, heißt das gar nichts. Ein guter cW-Wert ist nicht der einzige Faktor.

MIr erscheint eher das Gegenteil der Fall zu sein:
https://eu.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/06/28/suvs-killing-americas-pedestrians/646139002/Hampton Clay Gabler, a professor in the department of biomedical engineering and mechanics at Virginia Tech, wrote that paper with Devon Lefler. Gabler’s interest in the pedestrian issue came from research in other areas showing high death rates for those in cars struck by SUVs.
He described the vulnerability of pedestrians when struck by an SUV as a geometry problem of sorts because SUVs and pickups tend to be tall compared with pedestrians and have a blunter front end. That positioning is more likely to put someone’s head or chest in line to be struck during the initial impact with a vehicle.

The data supporting this claim is telling. "The odds that a crash that killed a crossing pedestrian involved a left turn by the vehicle versus no turn were about twice as high for SUVs, nearly three times as high for vans and minivans and nearly four times as high for pickups as they were for cars," according to the IIHS.
As for right turns, it's a similar story. Compared with cars, the odds of a crash that killed a pedestrian were 89% higher for trucks and 63% greater for SUVs. These types of large vehicles are also more likely to hit pedestrians walking or running alongside the road, a type of collision where no turn is involved.
