The X3 is big (D segment I believe) and larger by a decent margin than most other cars on the road. Even the X1 is not anywhere near close to being small (C segment?).

Sorry, I don't know segments.

Dimensions - some examples:

Toyota Corolla 4600mm x 1710mm [0]

Toyota Prius 4645mm x 1760mm [1]

BMW X3 4,716mm x 2138mm [2]

VW Passat 4767mm x 2083mm [3]

Doesn't look like an X3 is particularly egregious vs some non-SUV family cars.

Height is my biggest concern as a cyclist and pedestrian.

Okay, so again - my people carrier, which is not large, is about the height of an X3. Vans and lorries are much higher. Why SUVs in particular?
