SUV is a poor term, nowadays it's largely used to refer to crossovers/CUVs, which have unibody car chassis and are really just station wagons with some extra clearance. The nomenclature may be a lost battle at this point, but the rise of CUVs (which are certainly cars, not body-on-frame trucks) is what killed minivans and sedans.


They are also station wagons with a smaller trunk

Sedans died years ago - pretty impractical body type. The only advantage over SW is a perceived "prestige".
