I really like my Subaru Outback 3.6L. I think it is a pretty good value for size and features. If you only need 2 rows of seats, there is a lot of space inside for people and gear. The CVT is very smooth. Outstanding resale value. It sits lower than the others as it is more of a tall wagon, but drives great.
We also have a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LT on lease. It rides great with decent room for our family of 5. Not as big as Suburban, but rides and drives far better.
If you are stuck on Toyotas, wait for 2020 models with Apple Carplay/Android Auto.
