Also, due to increased thickness of doors and frames for safety, car interior space has shrunk over the last decades. So you need a bigger car if you want the same amount of interior space for your head/feet/arms/groceries.

And also (if relevant to you), regulations for children's car seats have appeared and increased so that, if you need to carry three kids, you pretty much need an SUV (or minivan) to do it.

Good point. In my crossover my knees are pretty much always rammed into dash and I'm only 6'2". Pretty sure there's no airbags there too.
