Sliding doors
The Minivan uses side sliding doors, which are available in both manual and automatic (push-button control). This is a significant difference between the Minivan trim and other cars. This will save you from having to worry about bumping into other cars when you open the door. The power doors are more convenient and can be controlled by the driver sitting in the seat at the touch of a button, so there’s no need for manual labor to open and close the doors.
Closer to the Ground
Minivans are often lower to the ground than SUVs. Many children need to be lifted into an SUV, but they can climb into a Minivan on their own, which is great news for many parents.
More Interior Space
Many families start out with an SUV, but as their population grows, they switch to a Minivan, which has a huge amount of usable space that makes it easy to accommodate every possible need and gives each child plenty of room before they’re constantly fighting.
More Convenient Assistive Features
Both Minivan and SUVs equip passengers with many convenient and comfort-enhancing assistive features. The Minivan offers more as compared to the SUV. For example, multimedia audio-visual systems, and interior vacuuming systems like those that come with some vehicles, and more.
Lower gas mileage
Generally speaking, Minivans are more fuel efficient than SUVs. Though one could cite exceptions and claim that some SUVs are just as fuel efficient. In reality, however, many people who have driven an SUV for a while find that it gets more and more fuel-intensive. It’s usually still the same principle: when it comes to gas mileage, a Minivan is better than an SUV.
Appearance Diversity
The appearance of a car is an important consideration for many people when buying a car. It is said to be fashionable to pick a car’s appearance that suits your personality. In this regard, SUVs certainly offer more options to suit your style. Comparatively, the Minivan appearance does not change much and there is not much to play with and choose from.
Higher seating capacity
Compared to a Minivan, an SUV can offer many special comforts and conveniences to its passengers: such as more leg room to stretch out and a wider field of vision. Of course, sitting higher is also safer. All of these are very attractive to buyers.
More options in different sizes
Because the Minivan is larger, it can be a bit challenging for novice or lesser drivers to navigate when driving a Minivan, like driving a small bus. SUVs, on the other hand, come in a variety of sizes, such as large, medium, and small models or with two or three rows of seating, making it easy to find the right fit.
Better performance in bad weather
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or snow (or like to travel to the mountains!), you’ll need a vehicle that’s built to withstand inclement weather. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or snow (or like to travel to the mountains!), you’ll need a vehicle that won’t skid in inclement weather, and an SUV is perfect for you. SUVs are often equipped with drivetrains such as all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which provide power to the front and rear wheels at the same time, giving the vehicle more traction. The vast majority of Minivans do not have this feature. Obviously SUVs are much superior to Minivans in that category and have a much higher level of safety.
