Hefty
Almost all the hire cars I've had this year have been suv like blobs, mostly just a jacked up astra/focus/kia/hyundai/insert names of other former hatchbacks that are now giant blob cars.
Its become the mainstream. Volvo with the XC40, which is great in its class, admitted it wasn't as aero or as good on fuel that are over 2 decades older, just that they did the best with what they could fit into that class of car. Unfortunately I don't think its a trend thats going to go into reverse any time soon, too many folk that sleep walk into new car purchases (literally they won't even test drive anything, just pick whatever fits into their lease budget) will continue to choose blob cars.
