Other Choices:

If you plan to off-road or tow in luxury, the Touareg is one of the best SUVs for its size, but if your needs involve passenger-hauling, you'll be better off with most of the alternatives in its size and price range. The Acura MDX and Lexus RX feel roomier inside and handle well, though their appointments might not seem quite as exclusive.
