IMO it is cars reverting to the form factor they had before the whole "longer, lower, wider" thing happened. This includes ground clearance as a reaction to cars getting ever-lower since the 1980s, especially with longer noses for crash safety in more recent years.
Development has meant that there is little penalty in terms of fuel consumption; much less than the influence of the driver, or handling/roadholding which is becoming less important as congestion and speed enforcement increase. I would suspect in the fatal Berlin pedestrian crash it is irrelevant that it was a Macan involved, but any vehicle would have had the same outcome. Pedestrian death rates are more likely to be influenced by distraction (both driver and pedestrian); here in Melbourne there has been a 50% in trams colliding with pedestrians in the last 5 years, it seems they often walk straight in front of oncoming trams.

Can't say that's it's overly offensive to the eye, fairly square where it needs to be, with just enough rounding of the corners. No space reducing angles.
Having said that I don't think it would stand out in a crowd as much as I'd want something of that which, no doubt has an inflated (Mercedes badge) price range to do. |

Both not as offensive to my eyes as some of late! The e-tron Sportback is definitely better looking than the normal version, IMO.

With a clear 'nod' to the previous Defender styling - Ineos Grenadier
'Similar in size to the latest Mercedes-Benz G-Class and powered by a modular range of six-cylinder BMW diesel and petrol engines, it’s expected to be priced from £40,000 when it hits the market late next year, initially as a five-door station wagon then “soon afterwards” as a four-door pick-up truck. A short-wheelbase car may come after, alongside other versions.' |
