The Volvo V90 is the heir to the traditional "manor Volvo" and a concept in itself in terms of space and driving feel. My choice would be the V90, because it's a good dog car. I'd prefer the AWD Cross Country, as it would give me ground clearance for country roads and a higher driving position.

Porsche Cayenne

Few SUVs blend athletic poise and Teutonic precision like the Porsche Cayenne, putting genuine sports‑car feeling into a roomy, everyday package. If you want a practical family hauler that still makes you grin every time you merge, the Cayenne delivers — turning errands into an excuse for a spirited drive.
