Yeah, because of high emissions. You can buy them with 2 seats and they are registered as vans if I recall correctly. Vans have higher allowed emissions and this is a workaround.
You can also import normal 5 seat version from outside EU, usually from UAE. That catch is they have to be used cars so they are often registered for one day in UAE and you can buy them as used and import to EU.

Nice setu. Where's the camp spot?
pedroa99@reddit (OP)
That was in Parque del Neusa. A Colombian natural park. It’s beautiful

Sea_Sector_5894@reddit
But whyyy 🥲 every time I see a tiny smart car or a mini cooper I wonder why we can’t have these!
Shmokesshweed@reddit
Fair enough. They're cool. Love seeing them in Europe.
Zylpas@reddit
But they are no longer sold in Europe too. Well people tend to find some workarounds.
Shmokesshweed@reddit
Oh interesting. Didn't know that.

We are robbed of most small vehicles in the US, sadly. Not all of us want something the size of small school bus.
takaiguchi@reddit
Man I wish we could buy those.
