<strong>2020 Cadillac XT6</strong> <strong>Price:</strong> Starting at $54,315 Our test vehicle didn’t come with a window sticker, but prices can easily rise to the mid-60s.

The seats are comfortable and the ride is quiet.

The XT6 interior stands out for its high-grade, nice-to-touch materials.

<strong>2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD</strong> <strong>Price:</strong> $43,155 as driven The Hyundai punches well above its weight, offering many of the luxuries of more expensive SUVs at a lower price.

Those looking for a more conventional shifter can opt for the Palisade’s corporate twin, the Kia Telluride.

The interior is sleek and uncluttered.

Push-button shifter warning: It has a push-button shifter.

<strong>2019 Infiniti QX60 Luxe</strong> <strong>Price:</strong> $65,930 as driven While prices start in the mid-40s, ours cost significantly more.

The ride is settled and solid.

The Infiniti shows its age on the dashboard: The navigation screen is smaller and harder to use, and the images are less crisp than its competitors.

The interior’s quilted leather stands out as either luxurious or ostentatious, depending on your point of view.

But when you combine the gas engine and that electric motor, the xDrive30e is transformed into a fun performance ride.
