Depends on the exact size of the SUV. I think minivans are smaller than most SUVs (all except actual compact SUVs). Minivans are also better for cargo because SUVs ride higher and thus have less space. And sliding doors are better for kids and tight spaces. And better mileage. Etc
I think part of it’s that “SUV” better refers to the shape of the car than the size. Same for vans. I’ve got less experience with minivans, but I’ll assume they’re similar.
I bought my SUV because it was more fuel efficient and only slightly larger than my old hatchback. But I don’t have something like a suburban or whatever.
When I hear “van”, I think
Most minivans are roughly the same, but with windows and shorter. (Again, in my experience)
Most of the SUVs I see are what I think would be called “compact crossovers”, so that’s what I assumed was meant when OP said “kids, cargo and bike carrier”.
Well, tell the people who label the things that a crossover SUV isn’t an SUV, since that’s not what they’re telling people.
Title of the thread reads to me like (super size trucks) and SUVs not (
Super size (trucks and SUVs).
Beyond that, according to the actual article, the best selling SUV is a rav4, which is a compact crossover SUV.
Minivan. Or van.
But those are both bigger. Seems odd to be telling a person to get a larger vehicle when we’re complaining about vehicles being too big.

Suv I think they meant:
Minivan I picture:
Suv I think you picture:
CUV is not SUV.
And see title of thread, best selling is supersize SUV.

If either would fit in my garage, yeah, they’d absolutely be valid.
