The minivan is quite possibly the most misunderstood vehicle classification in the world. There’s a stigma surrounding minivans that turns most Nigerians off from buying them. They don’t want to look like they are “a family man” or some other stereotype about minivans. 

Those assumptions are hurting buyers more than anyone because minivans are actually better than SUVs. The people’s alternative to minivans has been SUVs for a while, but recent models of minivans are luxury vehicles. 

Here are 3 reasons why minivans are better than SUVs.

  1. Minivans Come with more Space than SUVs

Minivans have so much space you won’t even know what to do with all of it. Six adults and two children can ride inside most minivans all at once. Not to mention, the maximum cargo volume inside of minivans is either more than or nearly equal to that of large SUVs. 

Cargo wells behind the third row of seats are extremely convenient for anything you don’t want rolling around. Groceries, luggage, or anything else goes down into the well and won’t move. Most minivans have either two collapsable rows of seats or completely removable rear seating. This way, when you’re not hauling around a lot of passengers, you’ve got loads of space for any cargo you may need to carry.

Speaking of spacious, brand new for the 2022 model year is the most spacious minivan, maybe ever. The 2022 Kia Carnival provides 40.2 cubic feet behind its third-row seats, 86.9 behind its second row, and 145.1 behind the first. The third-row seat folds into the floor and the second row can be completely removed to maximize space. 

  1. Minivans are more Fuel-efficient than SUVs

SUVs, especially those in the larger segment, use a lot of gas. Bigger engines and more power mean burning more fuel. Minivans are lower to the ground and more like a car. They come with 4-cylinder or V6 engines, and just all-around get better gas mileage. 

Not to mention most minivans of today offer an optional or standard hybrid powertrain. The most fuel-efficient standard large SUV is the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover. The Range Rover only gets 24 mpg with its diesel engine. 

  1. Minivans also have Sliding Rear Doors

Let’s face it, if you’re buying a minivan or SUV it’s likely you have a family needing to fit inside. Sliding rear doors are one of the most convenient features of a minivan. One of the best reasons for sliding doors is for a family with kids. 

The sliding rear door keeps your minivan safe, as well as the vehicle next to you. It also conveniently slides open wider than a normal door, making putting anything, or anyone inside much easier. Carseat placement is much easier thanks to doors like this in minivans.

Conclusion

People have disliked minivans for far too long, and they don’t deserve the hate. Minivans are a safe, convenient, reasonably priced option for anyone needing the amount of space they provide. Since 2021, 2022, and 2023, going into 2024, minivans are filled with as much technology as any other vehicle type. Spend less and get more by choosing a minivan over an SUV. Those are our 3 reasons why minivans are better than SUVs.
