The Infiniti QX50 is one of the most driver-focused and enthusiast-oriented vehicles in its segment, and its distinctive styling sets it apart from the crowd.
The Mercedes GLC may be the Infiniti's toughest rival yet; it's handsome outside, gorgeous inside, and finally lives up to the sporty promise its three-star badge implies.
The Audi Q5 looks and feels great, but it can get expensive quickly, and the ride skews a little harsh at times.
The BMW X3 is more fuel-efficient, drives well, and offers more room in the back seat and cargo bay.
The Acura RDX offers a strong value, with lots of technology, a reasonably well-trimmed cabin, and decent driving dynamics, without the risk of hitting $60,000 after options.
The Volvo XC60 isn't as much fun to drive, but better accommodates the family in a very sleek, stylish crossover.
