You are missing the forest for the trees. Tell me, how many Land Cruisers are sold each year vs. Corolla, Camry, or Highlander? That's even considering that most people that buy off-roader SUVs never actually take them off roads.
In wealthy countries off-roader SUVs are just giant toys. People typically have at least one everyday car, which has great potential to be electric.
You probably need to adjust your views on motoring in emerging third world countries.
For many years, decades, even, one of the most popular vehicles in Venezuela is the Land Cruiser.
Not the expensive land tank and cruiser that people think of when they see the Land Cruiser in countries like Bahrain, this Land Cruiser.
This Land Cruiser. The Classic Land Cruiser. The one and only FJ40. Even when the production of the classic Land Cruiser has stopped in most of the world and succeeded by newer generations, the FJ40 continued to be produced in South America for decades. With subsequent sanctions on Venezuela and so on, people are holding on to these vehicles. You might say that Venezuela is the capital of the FJ40 in the world. It is often modified into a van or a pickup like shown here. Since then what replaced the FJ40 as the most popular vehicle in Venezuela is the Fortuner.
Emerging countries are full of 4x4 models that you never heard of in the US. The Toyota Fortuner and Hi-Lux. The Mitsubishi Triton, Montero and Pajero. The Nissan Navarra. The Isuzu D-Max.
Of course, EVs can be made into powerful 4x4s. But its always the question of infrastructure, whether these countries can afford putting it, and whether they are price competitive with ICE. EVs are still very expensive outside of China, and China is still absorbing all the cheap EVs it makes for its own domestic market for years to come. There is the cost of the infrastructure, and the fact that in some emerging countries, gas is still dirt cheap.
Most popular vehicle right now in Brazil, for example is the Fiat Strada. This is a 4x4 Crossover, SUV, pickup with off road capabilities.
