"Small suv" is just a sedan that is brick shaped. Its less aerodynamic, more top heavy, and provides no benefits over a sedan hatchback.
Electric vehicles are very much not top-heavy. They are typically built with the batteries as a platform along the bottom, lowering their centers of gravity significantly. If anything this has become somewhat of a problem, road barriers aren't designed with such low centers of gravity in mind and testing has shown that some EVs tend to go under barriers when they hit them.
You asked for the beef of small suvs. So e-suvs solved one of the issues.
