    I think safety plays a big factor in this. Wagons, are less likely to roll over than suvs in emergencies when one may need to dodge an object quickly.

    4:06 Why would SUV make more sense with family buyers, especially with small children?
    Do they need to be bounced around while driving?
    Do they need the extra headroom?
    Do they need extra 40L of boot space for toys?
    Do they feel superior driving a higher, less agile vehicle?
    Do they need to be able to climb into vehicle rather than sit in it?
    The only way this makes sense, maybe installing the child seat is a little easier, that's all.

    the last car i daily is a VW Tiguan given by my family, now that I have kids I just got myself a brand new E Estate 2 months ago. I have to say even tho E Class is a wonderful car to daily and take the fam around, I do miss the elevated seating position and the convenience of taking my kids in and out of the seats.

    "even though it misses out on the wet weather grip of 4wd" ?? The SUV is much heavier and so in the wet it will have more weight to both stop it cornering so well and also to not stop as well in the wet. So it probably will be less safe in the wet.

    SUV's are the toilet paper of the car industry. Everyone just has to go out and buy one. They don't know why, they just don't want to miss out and be the odd one out. Unfortunately, Whichcar like most car reviewers nowadays are now TOLD what to say, they will never tell you that a particular car is absolute garbage. Nor will they tell you that SUV's have been and always will be inferior in almost every way to regular cars. If they told the truth, no car manufacturer would allow them to review their products that are overly inflated for the idiot Australian trend follower. Current SUV owners on the other hand will always come back with a typical nonsense response like...."There great, I love mine", or " they are safer in a crash because they weigh more". Now, both of these are typical head-in-the-sand lunacy, 1) because personal opinion is subjective and 2) How can someone predict what type of car accident they will be in and what other vehicle they will crash into? See me, I would rather have the advantage of avoiding the collision to begin with but hey, I didn't start sanitising my hands in 2020 when it all of a sudden become the thing to do. Hygiene is something that should be common practice in our lives, and not something that is in vogue, kind of like safety and bang for buck. But hey, if you like getting ripped off, having poor fuel economy, greater chance of roll over, longer stopping distance, inferior handling and a myriad of other things that I have forgot to mention, have at it!

    They DONT make sense for families. They just don’t. Children are expensive. The last you want to do it waste money on an suv which is dearer both to purchase and run. SUVs make you more passive and less alert as a driver too. I myself ran into an suv who turned across me at an intersection because the weren’t looking.
    They also pollute a hell of a lot more.
    They are the stupidest vehicle in the world.

SUV driving dynamics are shitty compared to wagons, they are less fuel efficient, wear through tires quicker, go through suspension components more frequently because of the ride height, take more road space, and they don’t offer any more passenger comfort or boot space.
