why not use the revo as your baseline ?
it seems to have many characteristics from the start that a lot of us look for, and has a good aero shape right now, just needing a few tweaks.
Id start with that shape, extend the rear into a 1/2 kambak/1/2 boat tail. incorporate a full belly pan from front to back. a nice, smooth front end and wheel skirts for the rear and partials for the front (maybe ?)

your rendered CUV sits quite a bit higher than Id recommend, granted, its a concept, but personally I would drop it at least half of where it sits now. unfortunately, you risk it looking more like a crossover than a full SUV/CUV.
