To me the CX-5 turbo seems like a no brainer if you are looking for a fun sporty SUV that can carry around your family and 2 dogs. And has AWD for bad weather. And is reliable as well. And goes 0-60 in 6.5 sec.
For ballpark $40k new nothing can touch it.
The Kona N is fast and fun but the N model doesn’t have AWD - it’s not family friendly in the back seat. Plus I’m leery of the long term reliability factor on these.
Maybe the Audi A4 Allroad. But those are $50k new. Plus the reliability factor.
Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Nissan all have CVT’s on the small SUV’s as far as I know.
