Most SUVs are useless off road and even the good ones aren't always necessary. Peugeot has proven it back in the late 60s and early 70s with its 504. It wasn't an SUV, it was an estate, and the only car that could drive in the Sahara.
Most modern SUVs would break off their axles during off roading, because they're cheaply made pieces of shit made for people who know nothing about driving. And then there's bullshit cross-overs like Toyota C-HR that are front wheel drive. That's right, they're making rugged-looking tiny 'off-roaders' that are as good off road as your front wheel drive VW Polo. Possibly even worse due to shit build quality.
We get large appliances delivered. Stuff like washing machines or smaller refrigerators easily fit in medium or large hatchbacks. I've comfortably transported a washing machine, crapload of fruits and veggies from the countryside, and my 20 kg dog in my Renault Laguna hatchback once.
