Most SUV buyers are buying for the image, even though a minivan is way more practical and has way more space and that space is much more useable. Remember, these are rugged, outdoor enthusiasts who are usually driving over challenging terrain where they need extra ground clearance in order to do adventurous physical activities. And the car makers love the high profits they make on SUVs and market them well to these unfortunately very typical average people who are dreaming of more interesting lives.
We have a Porsche Cayenne S because we are rich and pretending to be adventurous even though we don’t actually like hiking, camping or mountain biking. The Porsche handles the best of the SUV, so it’s like driving a car instead. No minivan for us because we don’t need that much space for our French bulldogs and occasional shopping trips to Sams Club.
