The Audi Q8 may be slightly bigger and more expensive than the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Class, but it’s where we’d start.
Both those crossovers, like the Q8, are new this year and represent some of the best from each brand.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a stellar family crossover with heapings of tech.
The BMW X5 offers tried-and-true powertrains and its interior is similarly smart.
The Range Rover Sport is more powerful and more capable off-road, but also more expensive in top trims.
The Volvo XC90 is aging out of the class a little, but it still manages to feel special—especially in top trims.
The Audi Q7 is related to the Q8, but offers a third row for family buyers.
