Ever more restrictive crash regs from the EU have reduced the size of the glass house on modern cars and required that the bonnet is higher to protect both the cars occupants but also pedestrians. There is actual science behind it. It's not the same as the pretty much unregulated American monster trucks.

I do however agree that this should have stayed a small hatch back and not morphed into a SUV.
