If people need extra ground clearance, Tesla has the X.

I find the Prius to be a good height. I doubt people will be scraping their Y while on normal roads.
You can have both image and utility. The Toyota RAV4 manages to be the most fuel efficient gas CUV in the USA at 39 mpg combined. (Also the best selling CUV / SUV in the USA)

EDIT: To be classified as a light truck a vehicle needs 20 cm of ground clearance. (7.87 inches)
