Are all SUVs unstable at high speeds?

SUVs are far less stable than sedans when driving at high speeds. Here are the relevant details: SUV Center of Gravity: Explaining the concept of center of gravity from a theoretical physics perspective could easily fill tens of thousands of words. To simplify, for a car, the center of gravity refers to the distance of the heaviest components relative to the ground. Components like the engine, transmission, and fuel tank are generally installed in the lower part of the vehicle. The shape, size, and height of these components are closely related to the vehicle's center of gravity. First, all else being equal, the higher these components are installed, the higher the center of gravity will be—this is easy to understand. Shape: Imagine two buildings of similar weight: one is a tall reinforced concrete skyscraper, and the other is a short stone house. If an earthquake occurs, which building is more likely to collapse? Undoubtedly, the taller one is more prone to collapse. The same principle applies to cars. The center of gravity height brought by an inline engine is inevitably higher than that of a V-type engine, and the center of gravity of a V-type engine is also higher than that of a horizontally opposed engine.
