Why should I also consider these?

BMW's bred one of the most carlike crossovers, and the X3 has good passenger space, too.

All of its competition suffers in one way or the other: the Acura RDX feels tight on room, and its interior doesn't meet most other luxury crossovers head-on.

The Audi Q5's cabin does, but a stiff ride upsets its pleasant demeanor.

The Benz GLK is a great choice for steering and ride, and for acceleration, but its cargo space is smaller than the X3's--and the same is true for the Land Rover LR2.

Of all the luxury crossovers, the Volvo XC60 has one of the best combinations of on-road handling, space, and fit and finish--and it's rated tops for safety, too.
