Good luck defining what is and isn’t an SUV and try to enforce parking restrictions based on that.
Companies will just define their own classes to avoid this unless there is a solid measurement in either dimension or weight. If it’s weight then they will be destroyed by the media for being anti-EV and if it’s size then the whole SUV argument goes out the window
For example is Audi A8 not an SUV but Ford Puma is?
Total outside dimensions. If it takes up more space than the typical economy car it pays the high tax. Since you seem a bit pedantic I will define it exactly:
Take the vehicle and put it in water, use weights if needed to submerge it. Measure the displaced water. If that value is above that if a typical economy car it pays a higher tax. Economy car is defined as the what an average of a poll of randomly selected people defined it to be in 2024.

They defined it as above 1.6 tons (metric) for ICE/hybrid and 2 tons for EVs
Well that was easy.

I would be a little annoyed if they did this to my car in a parking tbh/j
It is for the greater good they all chant as they drop it into the pool
Always good to go back to medieval witch hunting in a pinch.
“Drop it in water, if it floats it gets extra tax!”
