hyundai TUCSAN best value . never buy 2017-2020 crv it has a oil dilution problem. RAV4 is good car but pretty expensive n not much fun to drive. CX-5 is thrilling, fun to drive. ford, chevi, WV all junk dnt ever go for them.

so the competition is with hyundai tucsan and mazda cx5, tucsan is much cheaper smooth backed by 100K mile 10 year warranty with united infotainment system, cx5 is thrilling but a bit pricey. personally i drive 2017 highlander and 16 corolla.

if u earn near around 150 K/year lease is good option otherwise buy it.
