An equinox or a traverse are considered SUV's, but you wouldn't take those off road. The Mach E is a perfect daily driver

That's the whole point of an SUV IMO. I want to make sure that even if the snow isn't cleared, I won't be stuck because of low ground clearance.
Either make a sleek car(again, a wagon can hold just about as much stuff as an SUV without looking as fugly), or make a practical SUV. Take your pick, and if you do the latter, don't use a sports car name.
So yeah, perfect daily driver*.

And it isn't just about snow, because roads, pavement joints in parking lots, driveway connections etc. likely aren't going to be smooth everywhere you go. More clearance helps negotiate imperfect pavement and to some extent cancels out driver mistakes that would otherwise affect the bumper or the underside of the car.
