6. Other Choices (See why?)   The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class matches the X5 in seating and off-road capacity, and to our eyes, it's more handsome than the BMW. The Cadillac Escalade out-blings all these vehicles and has a smooth powertrain to go with its high price tag and low fuel economy, though a Hybrid edition is coming. Porsche's Cayenne seats only five and has drab styling, though it handles well. The Lexus GX 470 is a slightly smaller choice in this group. The Brit-cool Land Rover Range Rover is another stylish option, though it's also considerably more expensive than the BMW X5.
