Small/Mid Premium SUV
My experiences testing medium and large SUVs was very different. The Volvo was the last one I would have purchased. If I was buying a medium size SUV, I would have purchased the X3 M model. It has a real V6 with style and handling. The Volvo’s were all sanitary. I especially disliked the turbo 4 cylinder powered Volvo and and the 6 cylinder power was not much better. I should add that I also didn’t like any of the Turbo 4 motors in the X3 or Mercedes.
I bought a BMW X5 after having Mercedes for 17 years. It was just a better driving experience and my wife liked it. (and a much better dealer in my area)
Drive them all and buy the one that fits you.
