Shooting Brake:
A shooting brake, not to be confused with an "estate" or a "station wagon" is in essence a bespoke and exclusive hatchback, based on a luxury sports coupé, turning the latter into a more utilitarian yet not always more practical vehicle.
source: Lynx Eventer
The term shooting brake comes from the cart that some people used in the past to go hunting, and we can consider it synonymous with two-door estate car and two-door station wagon, thus paying affectionate and deserved tribute precisely to the terms estate car and station wagon.

SUV:
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.

As the saying goes, "Est modus in rebus": there are ways and ways.
There are ways and ways of "wanting everything":
One way is pouncing on the buffet as if there were no tomorrow, and above all as if others did not exist, because in fact, for those who so behave, others do not exist.
Another way is leaving room for everyone, recognising that others exist too, tasting without elbowing anyone, without jumping over anyone, without leaving anyone hungry.
In the field of motoring, there are ways and ways of ‘wanting everything’:
One way is demanding the impossible: forcing everything and its opposite together, cancelling each other out at a high price in terms of both money and dignity.
One way is harmonising what is consistent with style: merging together the essentials and the best that an automobile can be, making it more that a mere sum of its qualities.
So...
You like your automobile to be sporty. Good.
You happen to want to carry around more things with you. Good.
You want to survive the torn-up asphalt and artificial bumps of roads managed by those who only want to stop you. Good.
You want a high driving position and a big car to feel safe, drive up onto pavements and look down on others. Well, that's not exactly good.
Now...
To be sporty, it is not enough that your automobile is powerful: it must be agile and steady as well.
To be agile and steady, it should be compact, low, reasonably light.
As the load capacity increases, at some point it is no more an automobile. It is a van. If not a lorry.
As sturdiness and weight increase, at some point it is no more an automobile. It is an off-road vehicle. If not an armoured car.
Vans and lorries, off-road vehicles and armoured cars are big, tall, heavy. To make them accelerate, run, turn and stop, to keep them on the road at speed and prevent them from overturning at the first bend, an enormous amount of petrol, tyres, brakes and digital perversion is wasted unnecessarily.
What's more, off-road vehicles and armoured cars are often fake: giants with feet made of clay that crumble against the first pavement, with off-road capabilities equally embarassing as those of their drivers.
Moreover...
The lesser a driver one is, the bigger and taller one wants the automobile.
Seeking an elevated position is an animal instinct, and we are gentlemen drivers, not animals.
Your automobile is not a mobile warehouse. It is not your cellar nor your children's playroom. If you passed on the spark to them, being aboard a sports car makes your children proud; being aboard a warehouse leaves them indifferent.
So?
Perhaps we should agree on the meaning of the term ‘sporty’.
A shooting brake is sporty in the sense that it has sporty performance.
An SUV is sporty in the sense that it carries sports equipment.
It's not quite the same thing...
"It's a subtle balance
It's not what, but how
It's a matter of style"
Niccolò Fabi, È Non È
And truth be told, not even that subtle.
Additional definition:
Estate or station wagon:
Note: "estate car" or "estate" and "station wagon" or "wagon" are synonimous, whereas the former is the term used in British English.
A station wagon (US, also wagon) or estate car (UK, also estate) is an automotive body-style variant of a sedan with its roof extended rearward over a shared passenger/cargo volume with access at the back via a third or fifth door (the liftgate, or tailgate), instead of a trunk/boot lid.
In Germany, the term "kombi" is used. This is short for Kombinationskraftwagen ("combination motor vehicle"). "Kombi" is also the term used in Poland. In Russia and some post-Soviet countries, this type of car is called "universal". Manufacturers may designate station wagons across various model lines with a proprietary nameplate for marketing and advertising differentiation. Examples include "Avant", "Break", "Caravan", "Kombi", "Sports Tourer", "Sports Wagon", "Tourer", "Touring", and "Variant".
