The way I look at it (which is personal as has been pointed out)

An SUV has:
- the covered storage of a crew cab without the rear box
- more suspension travel than a car
- perhaps a bit more ground clearance than a car ... but must 'feel like' a higher driving position than a car
- enough towing capacity to haul at least a 2000 lb utility trailer (the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV failed this one) This one sort of ties into more suspension.

Did I miss an actual towing capacity for the Model Y ... or is it still rumors only?
