😁 I couldn't be much help as my only 4x4 SUVs have been a 1979 full size Blazer K5 and my current 99 K1500 Suburban. Both would get me though anything although at fairly poor gas mileage but they were /are reliable and easy to fix, American made and paid for long ago.

Today we test drove a Mazda CX-5 & a Toyota Rav4.
The Mazda was an upper tier trim package with the turbocharged engine. Very nice! I would've preferred to test drive a naturally aspirated base model to keep comparisons somewhat equal, but they didn't have one available.
The Rav4 surprised me. It appears short, but ride quality was better than expected. She liked the seating position & visibility. 200hp I-4 & 8-speed auto trans. (Not CVT) This vehicle is also very capable.

I traded a millsurp rifle for a 2007 Jeep liberty. It's not a reel jeep but that little V6 has some real snap and it doesn't ride like a jeep. It rides pretty smooth. Been four wheeling with it no problem and it's going into it's third winter. I have no complaints.

Stay away form anything with a CVT Tranny. You will be sorry.
