As far as justifying SUVs go... if you're looking for a nice car, subcompact SUVs cost pretty much the same as sedans while offering a lot more trunk space and nice features like electric seat adjustment, nicer center consoles, etc. that might not always be available on sedans. In my case, my decision was made by the thousands of poorly calibrated aftermarket LED headlights I regularly see in the US. They blind me all the time in a sedan, but in an SUV I'm just high enough up that I usually don't get totally blinded.
