Thos are all good choices, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
Two others that are worth your consideration are the Acura RDX and MDX. Both offer better value than you'll get from the Europeans, and they're also likely to be more reliable in the long run. Both also offer very comfortable seating in all positions, and the MDX handles surprisingly well for its size due to its "Super-Handling All Wheel Drive". This was one of the first torque-vectoring AWD systems to hit the market, introduced a decade ago.
The tradeoff is that they're not quite as refined as the Europeans, but for daily driving and road trips, they're plenty refined enough, IMO.
