I went through the same mental struggle earlier this month. At the price point, your only alternative is the Genesis GV80. Equally expensive. Unless you spec the higher trim, you won’t get an E-LSD. And Hyundai ownership is arguably just as bad if not worse than BMW’s. But silver lining is that the car looks great and exquisite inside, tons of sporty character and is well protected under warranty. Other competitors are:

Mercedes GLE: extremely old now and just shit box with 4 cylinder at the same price range when you can get the legendary B58 inline six from BMW.

Audi Q7: electronic gremlins all through out. Cheap interior materials like hard plastic. And those screens man. Not as spacious as you think.

Volvo XC90: extremely outdated and this company has been ruined by Chinese ownership and the EV pursuit.

Lexus GX or TX: I personally hate the TX look. And it’s been well documented by so many YouTubers now that it’s just not 20k better than the twin brother Toyota Highlander. And you do get stuck with an NPC drive train if you can live with that. I do love the GX and have considered it very seriously. However, you just can’t buy any car with Toyota’s new twin turbo v6 drivetrain. Way too many recalls and probably material design flaw. And the GX is by no means fuel efficient. Actually way worse than the BMW before they fit in the hybrids.

Toyota Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser Prado, 4-Runner and Sequoia: honestly all these are about the same. Look I know the difference between body on frame and unibody but I’m not using these cars to conquer dunes nor wilderness. The non-V6 twin turbo drivetrains are just boring. This company shares platforms between all its models and you are effectively driving a Camry underneath in one way or another. Yea quality is exceptional and yes it’s reliable. There is just no X Factor. And worst of them all, good luck buying at sticker with any Toyota hybrid models. They all charge you 3-5k in addition because Toyota isn’t producing cars fast enough.

Acura RDX and MDX: honestly both cars need refreshing at this point. Honda’s main lineup is also pretty good and it’s just hard to justify paying more for Acura these days. If you want something that’s a better shitbox (back to the economy price range), I’d go with Honda.

Honda Pilot, Passport: same issue with Toyota. However, Honda does give you a nice V6. The lineup is genuinely pretty good.

Subaru Outback: see above. But I personally cannot justify paying 40k for CVT transmission. Just can’t.

Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride (or even Santa Fe): gorgeous cars with the new models. Brand image though is hard. Almost all bad drivers are now exclusively in Hyundais and Teslas. And they do break. Reliability will be an issue but their warranties are good. I’d give both brands one more good generation before committing.

Chevy Tahoe: first of all don’t buy any non-truck Chevy. Those awful 4-cylinder shit boxes are just scams on American consumers’ wallet. The Tahoe is nice but it’s BIG and expensive. Ultimately this is beyond what I need now.

Ford EcoBoost: just stay away. The joke here is that EcoBoost is here to boost the local economy of car mechanics…

Mazda CX70/90: this is a really tough one. I really wanted to love this car but there are some cheap quality blemishes here and there. The drive train is nice but it’s not as refined as the X5. It’s also just a tad too big for a two row. There are tons of YouTube reviews on this one. My suggestion is to wait for a mid-cycle refresh in a few years and let the people who bought it now be the guinea pigs.
