Before anyone says minivan...
They are banned at my place and I would get a p4xl before one of those pos with sliding doors.

I'm thinking of
Tesla X
Range Rover Sport diesel
Volvo xc90

For tesla... Note that we have the most expensive gas and cheapest electricity.
For every 500$ fuel... I only need 50$ in electricity here.

Regular gas is close to 5-6$/gallon
electricity is 5.7ยข/kWh
Range anxiety is not an issue.

My wife is on her 3rd Acadia . We have been leasing them. It is a good people and "stuff" mover. Comfortable, decent power and gas mileage. Reasonable cost for a true "utility" vehicle.
I have used it to tow a small utility trailer, once in a while. I think its rated at 3000 or 3500lbs for towing.
No sliding (mini-van) door, but has about the same space, and drives more like a car. AWD is nice in the winter.

Haven't they been having a lot of issues with the V6? Something to do with the timing chain IRRC.
