Small luxury SUV shopping.

[Genx87]

The CX-5's are decent cars. I have a 2014 I use as my daily run around car. For OP nice pickup on the Lexus. When this Mazda CX-5 goes off into the sunset in 4-5 years I am very interested in a Lexus as a replacement.

I'd throw out the Acura RDX as an option. Our MDX has been awesome so far. Can't imagine the smaller version isn't a great car as well.

I really like my RDX A-spec....

If anyone hops in here shopping, my daughter's 2019 AWD NX300 consistently gets 29 MPG mixed driving in regular mode.

Also, KIA and Hyundai are not luxury brands even though the EV/hybrids have a premium feel.

Our 17 MDX Hybrid Advance has been the perfect not-a-minivan family hauler for us... the current gen RDX looks great but i've never driven one. It's got really good reviews overall if you like driving dynamics. I was not impressed with the driving dynamics of the telluride at all. with that said, the NX450H+ is very compelling if i were in that segment. cant go wrong w/ hondas and toyotas
