How is it mystical? Every SUV I have driven has had a higher driving position than the saloon or hatch on which it's based.

Yes but what is beneficial about it?
I've no idea, but some people like it. So they buy them.
It doesn't have to have a benefit to be something desirable in a car.
Caporegime
I'm not sure you understand what desirable or beneficial mean. It's literally in the definition...
"wished for as being an attractive, useful, or necessary course of action."

Yes, refer to my earlier posts about the psychology behind it. Thats what they like.
What do you think of people who have horribly judgemental views on why people like you drive a Boxster?
How is it not basically the same thing as you are doing here? I don't understand why you seem utterly unable to comprehend that others have different tastes and sometimes those tastes are neither logical not rational.
Some people prefer the way an SUV looks and drives. It's really that simple. Personally I hate the way they drive but that's the glory of taste isn't it?

I think they're perfectly entitled to their view and that if they tried driving one or reading the extensive reviews available from those who do would understand why. It's widely accepted as being a fantastic car with exceptional handling, performance and quality.
It's worth noting for example that I find the f-type to be a better looking car but the boxster was just better.

Yes, but crossovers and compact SUVs are considered inferior to the hatchback from which they tend to be derived or rough equivalents available in terms of size/cost. This is simply down to physics.
Prime example being fiesta vs ecosport.

I understand just fine, I'm not sure you do
Well I'm not sure you do...you've already proven that with your understanding of the English language. Well...lack thereof.
Inferior in some respects, sure. I found the handling on the X5 frustrating for example, but not in others - it rode well and was refined on the motorway.
The EcoSport is just crap full stop.
Caporegime
it is! It really really is. Yet people are seemingly buying them instead of fiestas.

Sadly I'm not allowed to beat the stupid out of people.
That's not true. The potential advantages of a higher driving position have been explained to you several times...but you've dismissed them all as "excuses" because of your own opinions on the psychology of SUV buyers, and therefore you won't accept those reasons, and instead, berate the people who give them. As Fox has demonstrated, this is pretty ironic considering you have had to come up with a rather tenuous excuse to justify why your own car choice is based on "need" rather than desire. None of us can understand that excuse, yet you seem insistent that we accept it's validity - so why can't you accept the reasons people give for SUV ownership? You might not think they hold any weight, but don't pretend for a second that you "haven't heard anyone explain it"...you have, you just refuse to accept the explanations as valid, when they no less valid than your "I needed a 6 cylinder for overtaking commuters" explanation.

Please highlight these advantages.

Why are van and lorry cabs higher? They don't particularly have to be, really.

Have a look where the engine and running gear tends to sit and the comparitive sizes. You maximise load space by putting the can over the engine.
