* Higher profile: The taller design amplifies the effect of the high center of gravity.
* Weight distribution: The distribution of weight in an SUV can sometimes make it less stable than a car.
* Narrower track width (sometimes): While not always the case, some SUVs have a relatively narrow track width compared to their height, further contributing to instability.
* Sudden maneuvers: Aggressive driving maneuvers increase the risk of rollover for any vehicle, but the effect is more pronounced in SUVs.
In short, the combination of height and weight distribution makes SUVs inherently more prone to rollovers than cars with lower centers of gravity.
