I gotta say, as a big and tall guy who’s developing bad knees, SUVs are more comfortable. So nice not having to bend my knees so much while struggling to find extra joints in my neck and back to get in. Same with the wider thing - so happy to no longer knock heads getting in at the same time as a passenger - so happy not to knock shoulders. So happy to have adequate leg room (I think it was a Volvo C30 I tried where my shoe literally didn’t fit. My feet aren’t even all that wide but I literally could not press the gas without also pressing the brake) and have that leg room in front of me rather than off to the side somewhere. That might be just me though
Unless you’re talking full sized truck-based SUVs. Then no

It’s not like most of the population can fit inside a generic hatchback…
I get that bigger cars make sense for some people, but definitely not majority.
