Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, and compared with sport utility vehicles, most cost less, get better gas mileage, and make it easy for passengers to get in and out, and have a smoother, more car-like ride.
and make it easy for passengers to get in and out
and allow passengers to get in and out easily
and allow passengers to get in and out more easily

remember that parallelism is really of 2 types: GRAMMATICAL and LOGICAL.
in your case, v1 though v5 all happen to be in the same tense - present tense, because we're talking about unchanging features of minivans - but ONLY v2 through v5 are LOGICALLY parallel.
v1 describes the van's passenger seating capacity, which is NOT presented as a point of superiority over sport utility vehicles, while v2 through v5 specifically describe advantages of minivans over sport utility vehicles.
therefore, the sentence is written with v2 through v5 in list form, but, because v1 isn't in the same category as those others, it's (rightfully) excluded from that list.
