The cars on our roads are getting bigger and heavier, marking a clear shift in the country’s vehicle landscape.
Models like the once-compact Volkswagen Golf have nearly doubled in weight over the years, reflecting a broader trend toward larger, more powerful vehicles.
This growth is driven by added technology, safety systems, and consumer demand for comfort.
As a result, smaller, lightweight cars are disappearing from the market, replaced by bulkier models that now dominate new registrations across Switzerland.
