And yet people still want big trucks and SUVs even when they don’t have a need for them, and cost more than minivans. Just saying. Minivans are declining because of the “stigma” and people falling in love with 3 row crossovers.

The answer is simple. People have a stigma about minivan owners that prospective buyers are fearful of for some stupid reason, and they gravitate to these 3 row crossovers like the grand highlander, traverse, and pilot. Those crossovers and stigma are why people don’t buy minivans, and it’s sad because anyone who’s driven a minivan and a 3 row crossover knows the minivan destroys when it comes to hauling people and their stuff. Nothing beats a minivan when it comes to hauling people and their stuff except an extended full size SUV like a suburban, grand wagoneer L, or Expedition L. However, those 3 cars cost 40-60% more than a minivan, are truck-based, and much harder to live with day to day in terms of parking and cost of ownership. That’s the answer.

@ and less hauling and storage capability because they don’t have that deep floor behind the third row and a third row that folds into that well. I could sit in an odyssey third row for a 1000 mile road trip and have no issue. If I did that in a highlander, I’d probably need to see a chiropractor or doctor after because I’ll have severe leg and back issues, if I can even make it past 100 miles. Minivans have as much space behind the third row as a CRV/Rav4/Tucson has behind its second row lol
