Those are too small.

My wife had a GLK, which is now the GLC, and it was too small. I can get more stuff into my E sedan than I could in the GLK.
They aren't too small for us in my view.  We've been doing quite well with the GTI which is even smaller.  I don't want a larger car.  And I like that the X1 is said to retain some "sportiness", which I've yet to try out myself.

I got right at 39 mpg on the recent trip with the GTI running about 80 mph.  The downside is premium is "recommended".  I use midgrade at times when traveling and not able to Costco.

We had breakfast out at a place near us and I was checking out the cars parked on the street, half of them were small SUVs, and the cars driving by were about the same.  I suspect they drive well enough for the average noncar person, hold enough, are cheap enough, and let you pretend they are SUVs.

1961 Ford Unitron. Designed in the fall of 1960 in the Corporate Advanced Studio by Dean Beck, a recent graduate of the Art Center. The Unitron began as a suggestion from a Ford Division manager who believed Ford should be involved in the coming recreation vehicle market

All that glass looks heavy, sort of like a ballooned up Pacer.

Man, all those SUVs you're showing look way too small for me.  This is about the smallest I could possibly go:

Everyone has different needs.  I prefer smaller cars generally speaking.  I like the GTI quite a bit.  It gets the job done.

NOW you're talking.  Because sadly, not even the Yukon XL Denali can tow my RV.

Is that "sporty"???

2023 Cadillac Escalade-V | MotorWeek Road Test - YouTube


I like it.  Surprisingly, the Cadillac has now become more understated than the GMC version.

unfortunately, GM discontinued the 3/4 ton version of the suburban and yukon for towing

but, the SUVs Utee likes are trucks with the bed covered

which I could drive

Ford did, too.  I much prefer towing with an SUV over a pickup, but there are no options available anymore than can perform the task.

And yes-- as we discussed earlier, SUVs ARE based on truck frames.  All these little squirt vehicles that goofs like badgerfan keeps posting, are crossovers or something.  Silly little cars.
