I grant you that not everyone drives an X7 but the most popular car sold there in 2018 (I don't have stats since) was the Skoda Octavia. The top 3 brands overall last year were VW, Mercedes and BMW. Top 3 SUV's VW Tiguan, Merc GLC, VW T-Roc (just ahead of X3).
Make of that what you will but the Swiss are certainly not the tiny car, public transport, car sharing loving people that you portray. They clearly like a car or two.  |
Owning cars doesn’t equal to using them as your daily driver. No proper Swiss person will commute to work with a car if there is an efficient public transport equivalent available. I have spent over 20 years of my life in Germany and eight years in Switzerland und I don’t really care if you dig out more internet stats. Back to the original question. The top 3 SUVs that you found give you a good idea of an average vehicle size in Switzerland.
Here are the most popular cars in Switzerland in 2018:
