I drive a wagon and wife drives a X3. Here's the truth for a family of 4;

- Wagon handles better (duh)

- Wagon has more square footage of boot (trunk) space (handier than cubic )

- Wagon looks million times better

- Wagon less likely to roll which is legit concern with SUV and kids (boosters strictly not allowed, chest harness only even the 7 yr old)

- Extra ride height on SUV helps with scrapes, snow, wimen driving/parking errors and those evil parking lot concrete blocks

- SUV is better for sightlines

- SUV WAY, WAY, WAY easier to get young kids in and out of

- SUV has more cubic cargo space

- SUV easier to get in and out of as I pass age 40

- More legroom in SUV due to seating position (this is not a myth)

For family duty, imho, the SUV comes out on top. But i'd i'd love an uber wagon one day.
