That explains why most 5 seaters become 4 seaters. It doesn't explain why you need the height and exterior size of an suv.
That's the thing, none of the arguments seem to make much sense to me. If you have a massive RR, Land Cruser or similar then of course they do actually have a lot of room inside (assuming you need it). But so many SUVs you see still have the same interior issue as a hatchback - only room for 2 with rear child seats.
Again with getting your kids in. If the car was a normal height they'd just get themselves in from a young age.

That’s true. Still doesn’t mean SUVs are the solution

Me neither. My dad put us into the back of a Mk1 Escort 3 door when we were small. Then it was a Mitsubishi Galant Coupé, then it was normal 4 door hatchbacks and saloons (2 Corollas and a Citroën BX, Peugeot 405, Rover 400, Rover 600). I don't recall it ever being a problem.
SUVs are for old people with non-functional knees, or they are for people with actual things to tow, but they basically became a thing after councils put speed bumps everywhere.
