Is it emissions or is it safety? B/c a lot of them don't have the power for highway roads and lack basic safety (like seatbelts).

If it is emissions, it's probably because it's category-wrecking. They probably get pitted against other cars in a similar weight or wheelbase, and it's designed to be far more utilitarian than most vehicles in that class.
