    SUVs are just minivans with a small lift and a bit more thought put into body style

      …and the engine is in front of the firewall instead of inside the cabin.

      SUVs are light trucks with big wagon bodies. Crossovers are wagons with a lift.

      Best example of this, imo, is the subaru forester. People lower them all the time and they just look like a wagon at that point. (VW Tiguan is the same. They literally look like a lifted wagon. Either generation.)

        They have the frame of a truck, but the spirit of a minivan. Almost everyone with an SUV would be better served by a minivan, but they are just scared to be seen with one.
