The smaller SUVs you list are a bit higher off the ground than a sedan, so for shorter than average drivers, it's a challenge getting in.
Wagons like the Buick TourX and Ford Flex are car height, with a broader cargo area surface. Cargo volume doesn't matter, it's the floor area. Dogs don't stack well.
More importantly, they have a lower cargo load height, so smaller and/or older dogs can jump in more easily. Having to lift an older 50-100 pound dog up into an SUV gets old fast. Folding dog ramps have become a very popular accessory for SUV owners.
