And just to throw further confusion on that segment...the BMW 5 Series wagon as well as the Mercedes E Class wagon can tow very nearly as much as the three row SUVs in question (4400-4600 lbs vs. 5000 lbs, braked trailer capacity). Wagons aren't easy to find over here but as far as I know the sedans can do the same.
Ask which I'd rather drive...

Our former e70 with third row had airbag suspension. And a 6,000 lb towing capacity. It decimated any in its class for the money. Our newer f15 is diesel and with the appropriate hitch, 7,700 lbs. we do tow, but nothing above maybe 3500. Most in the same mid sized suv class that would be the max capacity which would be unwise. As for mini vans, I find them emasculating and ugly as sin. All of them. The right sporty sporty suv offers much more than any van and sadly some sedans. To refute that is ignorance at its finest.
Picture for reference. About 4500 lbs on this trailer.
