Why don t they make suvs with sliding doors.

I saw a post on facebook about a toyota concept that combined a 3 row suv with sliding doors and i wondered why that was a feature that hasn t already been done because sliding doors seem to be better for 3 row cars than traditional swinging doors. When what you need is a minivan and sliding doors for that matter but you re worried about masculinity of the vehicle you re doing it wrong. Stupid fucking tesla model x falcon doors which are only there for the singular purpose of being minivan doors while not being minivan doors. Therefore they can t have minivan doors.

Not a shopping question just a curiosity question. The smallest car on the us market with sliding doors is mazda5. Global markets have many other vehicles with sliding doors such as ford b ma. It is much smaller than regular minivans e g.

Pull back the sliding door to access seating for six passengers in a basic functional interior. Because crossovers suvs are for idiots who won t accept that they need a minivan. Chrysler dodge honda or toyota but still sits 7 people. Sliding doors are safe but they are usually in cars which are not liked by people and come in maruti van or versa or eeco.

Many modern crossover suvs are basically a minivan but with a few extra bells and whistles and a good looking exterior. Unfortunately the six speed manual gearbox was discontinued for the 2015 model year leaving only a five speed automatic transmission. It is because when automakers put sliding doors on an suv it turns into a minivan.
