The Lexus NX 200t gets excellent reviews and it starts around $36k. It's a given that reliability and maintenance costs will be excellent.

The Acura RDX is also a very good choice. It's backed by Honda reliability and shares a V6 with many other Honda/Acura models, so it can be serviced reasonably. Definitely worth a look.

I have a lot of affection for the Volvo XC60. The XC60 is typical Volvo (safe, immensely comfortable) and it's a solid performer in winter weather. The best bet is a 1-2yr old CPO model.

The category's best-seller for most of the past 8 years has been the Audi Q5. I could cite many reasons why, but the essence comes down to balance. It does everything well, nothing poorly, and is available with a wide range of powertrain options to suit any need.

I'll second the suggestion of the Acura RDX, and add the Lexus RX350 as a good option as well...
