But few people but a car based on emissions, so why then did SUVs become popular? Or is it the case of manufacturers wanted us to like SUVs, so they made that happen.

People don't buy cars based on emissions. Car makers make them based on emissions because lower requirements are easier to meet while including things people do want.

Literally cooking the planet for next quarters metrics.
