Minivans are generally superior to "SUV's" (as in a MDX/Highlander) in terms of cargo space behind the 3rd row... and of the 3rd row itself.
Last gen Sienna had 296 HP I believe... not too shabby, unless you're comparing to the $100K+ SUV market which for sure, will have more hp.

Yeah, I'm talking an extended version of a full size SUV. We need the third row 100% of the time and again, find the width useful. First of all, there are three decent seats across the third row, which helps with capacity (pre-Covid, the whole car would be full several times a week with friends, etc)... The width also helps in minimizing back seat quarles between passengers and for overall comfort for the times adults need to be back there. With the size of our family, there's just more of everything (groceries, luggage, gear, etc), so maximum space is the bare minimum. Believe me, my soul would ache less if the kid mess was in mini van
