    Ah baka outgoing Sorento nga nakita mo.
    I know what you mean na mukhang MPV.
    Yung outgoing Sorento has round curves especially sa back and taillights at pwede nga maisip na mpv/carnival/sedona. Mababa rin kasi ang stance and not the usual height of PPVs.

    Outgoing Sorento ground clearance is 174mm.
    Yung mga lumang sorento models had 208mm.
    PPVs like montero and fort have 215-220mm.

    MPV is minivans like Grand Carnival, Odyssey.
    Innova and Xpander sometimes considered MPV (by Asian standards)

    Carmakers know that people who buy Sorentos and other crossovers are never going off road anyway, so they lower it to improve handling and efficiency with a unibody frame. But keep it tall enough to not look like an MPV.

    The first sorento was a body-on-frame design, like the current Montero and Fortuner. The newer Sorentos are unibody.

    Puwede pa rin naman higher ground clearance without compromising handling on a unibody platform. Subaru AWD crossovers have similar ground clearance as most PPVS at 221mm.

    Dba the real reason crossovers were invented was to fill the gap between a wagon & a SUV? Crossovers handle more like cars & are very poor off roaders in stock form but are more than capable with the proper mods. In international forums, they do it a lot (albeit AWD guise).
    That’s why you can never compare crossovers with ladder frame SUVs. They are totally different segments.
