Finally, it has been shown that four-wheel-drives caused fewer accidents than cars, and are no more likely to cause severe injuries than other vehicles. That was found in an insurance survey carried out by the NSW State Government.

There was also no discussion of fuel consumption. Cars are usually better in that department!
