SUVs are just a little bit worse on all measures.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect to get rid of all ic vehicles in the short term, but we can certainly focus on the worst offenders.

As far as I know, road damage is not linear to weight, it is exponential. See for example https://www.vabike.org/vehicle-weight-and-road-damage/

SUV that is 25% heavier than a sedan, destroys the road much quicker than a sedan would.

Electric cars are even worse though
