Definitely true but I'm going to be the #notallsuvs guy again and point out that quite a few SUVs rank higher in NCAP pedestrian safety ratings than small cars. Our Ateca is rated nearly a whole point above our Fiesta.
That said, some of the larger SUVs are insanely bad for pedestrians. In the US, 100% of pedestrian collisions involving SUVs travelling faster than 40mph were fatal. The theory is that it's because of their obsession with large cars.
