Powered by Honda's only turbo engine, the all-wheel-drive Acura RDX offers sporty handling and comes well-equipped. Comfort is compromised by its stiff suspension setup, though.

Powered by a 6-cylinder engine driving all wheels, the BMW X3 is quick and fast, and almost as fun to drive as a BMW sport wagon. It's roomy, both for passengers and cargo.

Powered by a 3.5L V6 engine optionally driving all wheels, the Infiniti EX35 is a sporty looking SUV offering responsive handling and a classy interior.

Powered by a V8, the Land Rover LR3 offers space for up to seven in a luxurious interior and a compliant ride on the road, but also excellent off-road capability.
