I have one "daily vehicle" and one motorhome. I don't want to have a third vehicle. So having an SUV gives me the ability to tow, carry more than one passenger and carry my two large dogs comfortably, and carry a lot of stuff - even all of those at the same time. With a sedan or hatchback, I may be able to do one or the other but not all at once. And my passengers would have to share space with the dogs.
If I were to give up my SUV, it would be for a midsize pickup with crew cab. I'd lose some passenger space but would gain the ability to haul bigger items.
I've had a sedan before. It was fine at the time, but I wouldn't go back.
Of course my SUV is not a crossover. It's a body on frame midsize SUV. With a crossover, I would not feel such a difference between it and a sedan. The main reason I hear for folks going with a crossover is to get all wheel drive for winter driving.
