A wider body normally results in better shoulder room inside the car while a higher roof makes it easier to get in and out of the car. A higher ground clearance makes it easier to go over tall speed breakers or drive on broken roads. The wheelbase is the distance between the centre of the front and rear wheels. A longer wheelbase means better legroom for tall occupants. A larger boot allows you to carry more luggage for pick up or drop trips to airport/railway stations.
