I can guess a number of plausible reasons but they would be just guesses.

Broader market appeal. More people can find a use for a vehicle that seats five with some room for carrying stuff than can optimize use of a vehicle that seats two or four and is focused on high fuel economy commuting. If the five seater can be made commuter friendly it's a win / win.

Peace,

Martin
