Doing kind of the same thing as the OP, so I’ll bite here as I had a running check of almost everything in this class.
CRV: Didn’t make the cut due to the infotainment. We’ll see what’s new in 2022 or 2023.
RAV4: Too small, unfortunately, that means no RAV4 Prime.
Subaru: None of them really make the cut. They’re all just a little bit off-kilter and missing things I’d like to have. Maybe the Outback but too many nanny’s and the safety equip doesn’t seem to be what it’s made out to be.
Santa Fe / Sorrento: Both a bit larger. Kind of waiting to see the Santa Fe Hybrid but don’t really like either of them.
Tuscon: 2022 looks Interesting but I don’t like the interior look.
Tiguan: Forget why but it was nuked almost instantly.
Ford Escape: Seems like the quality isn’t there.
I also looked a bit more upscale.
Audi Q5: Too pricey.
Acura RDX: No dealers near me.
Tesla: More pricey than the fan boys admit (replace tires on an annual basis), plus don’t want to deal with the reliability issues.
This kind of left the following three:
Ford Mach E: Definitely in 3rd place due to the electrical charging network. I don’t travel much but the charging network would frustrate me.
Toyota Venza: If Toyota would just sell the car, with the packages on their website, I think I’d have bought one, but the damn things always come with floor mats, or packages I don’t want. For instance, both the XLE and Limited models simply don’t have the configuration I want in California although other states have them. Hoping to rent one in the next couple of weeks.
CX-5: I miss my CX-5 in some ways, and others I don’t. What makes it interesting is that the 2015 I had, had a fun quality that I miss but it was also noisy, had a lousy infotainment system, small bladder, no safety equipment, etc. Today’s versions are better, especially on the NVH front but they’ve maybe taken a step back in some ways too. I’ll probably try and drive one in the next few weeks as I’ve never driven the turbo.
Anyways, FWIW!
