You're starting to merge issues which are separate.
1) 3 kids and going 3 wide in anything sportyish basically means Diono seats for your smallest kid which, IMHO, is a reckless and selfish choice.
2) Even if you overlook this this, a small, sporty SUV won't have much trunk space, how do you even cart a stroller and some groceries? How will you transport a kid's friend to and from baseball or soccer?
3) If you stick with two rows a wagon is great, hey I own one! BUT, to be fair, no doubt in my mind that a SUV is easier with kids than a wagon. Namely, bolting them in and out of their seats is way easier.
4) Once you're at 3 rows, everything drives like trash so you may as well have the utility of a van
We own a 9-3 wagon and a Stelvio so we are not Yukon or Q7 type people but the Stelvio for example, as good as it drives, is BARELY big enough for two kids. I cannot imagine 3, literally no idea how you do it in a Macana bout the same size or smaller.
Only compromise I can see working is an E-Class wagon but they drive like ass too unless AMG.
