Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has been urged to seek to increase taxes and parking fees for SUVs.
London Assembly Members agreed a motion calling on him to take action over fears the increasing size of cars is damaging roads, causing congestion and putting other road users at greater risk of death and serious injury.
The assembly called on Sir Sadiq to ask the Treasury to amend vehicle excise duty to include a tax based on vehicle weight.
It also wants the mayor to ask councils in the capital to consider charging more for parking larger cars, and to call on the Department for Transport to introduce stricter limits on the size and bonnet height of passenger vehicles.
The motion was agreed by 14 votes in favour and eight against.
SUVs have become more popular in recent years, with many drivers preferring the higher seating position.
