"SUVs" in a lot of cases are just raised hatchbacks on what are essentially regular ol' car platforms; nobody's going off-roading in a dang CR-V.
(that doesn't do any favors for their fuel efficiency though)
SUVs of their car counterparts drive like shit. Sure the Porche SUV drives nice, but the 911 drives wayyyy better. I'd take a wagon over an suv and just use snow tires when needed.
It's been tested that an suv with regular tires and AWD can't perform as well as a 2WD version with snow tires. With All seasons the snow performance is marginally better than snow tires.

Stationwagons are definitely underrated.
Thats a more recent trend, SUVs used to be more like suburbans and escalades, basically trucks with seats retrofitted into the bed area.
I think the word for that is a “crossover”. Is there actually a smaller version of the CRV frame?
IIRC the accord is on the same frame as the CRV. At least thats what I heard about the current generation
