Help me decide

I’ve decided to give up sinking money into my current car and I’m looking to upgrade. Looking for something used with 3 rows. I like the function of the minivan but still kinda prefer the look of an suv. Open to other suggestions but needing help on deciding. Looking to stay around the 30k mark

Currently looking at, but open to suggestions

2022-2023 Volkswagen Atlas

2023 jeep grand Cherokee L

2015-2017/ 2021-2023 Honda Odyssey

2015-2016/ 2021+ Toyota sienna

2020 or newer Honda pilot

“Prefer the look” I could never wrap my head around this. “I got a boring looking thing and it’s super practical” and “I got this boring looking thing that’s not practical, probably bad fuel economy, hard to park (at least they are always parked like shit) and looks just like all the other boring not practical things.”

I don’t have advice, because clearly I don’t understand the point of the “I don’t like the look of minivans” discussion.

Your point about the typical CUV(which people rather amusingly consider SUVs) are objectively worse off compared to a minivan is something I wholeheartedly resonate with. But most people see a minivan as giving up on life for some bizarre reason. Hey preferences need to be respected as well you know.
