BMW X4 XDRIVE 35I $91,200 BMW doesn’t have a direct X4 rival to GLC250 in price or performance. This runs the brand’s superb 3.0-litre turbo six, with 225kW of power. Fast. JAGUAR F-PACE 35T PRESTIGE $85,605 More performance for similar money, with a cracker 250kW 3.0-litre supercharged V6. Good dynamics, too, but unimaginative interior. PORSCHE MACAN $76,610 New base model Macan runs a 185kW 2.0-litre turbo four. The best handling SUV you can buy. Shares DNA with Audi’s Q5. Expect a queue.
