The SUV is a very strange car concept. It stands for sports utility vehicle, but what does that even mean?
What is sport?
In the context of cars, what does sport even mean? I think it means racing. Racing is the only sport which applies to cars. Therefore, if you desire a sports car, or car to race, it makes more sense to buy a car that is 100% optimized for racing. It must be a two door, and ideally two seater. Or even a one seater.
Utility
Utility means something that you will use a lot, something that is flexible. I think that means a hatchback. I really love the hatchback design on the Prius, also on the Subaru outback, with the wagon design, you have a huge storage space in the back.
Why would you ever buy a sedan?
In modern times, it seems that the most impractical car is a sedan. To me, a sedan is a compromise of a design. If you do not have a hatchback, the car is not very practical or usable.
For example, the notion of a “sport sedan“ is bizarre. My theory of guys who want a sport sedan or middle-aged men who have a family, yet a more “sporty“ experience. I would say it is better to just barbell it: better to have a Honda Odyssey minivan, and the Porsche 911 turbo on the side, rather than a BMW M3 sedan.
