In what sense are minivans “better” than SUVs such that this question is relevant? I could imagine some have lower bumper heights (safer for pedestrians) but they’re definitely getting higher. One imagines they are broadly comparable in terms of weight.

(Personally I find minivans have more utility, but I don’t feel like I’m doing something “right” by owning one instead of an SUV).

Minivans do have more utility in the hardware store since they open up more, but modern "SUV"s are dressed up minivans and get similar millage as an SUV.

So I really don't understand minivan love paired with SUV hate (mid sized ones anyway)
