So what do you actually want an "SUV" for?
If you're going to use it offroad in a mildly serious manner, then get something which is comfortable to drive and has good offroad ability...eg Pajero, Prado, Landcruiser, Patrol, Discovery ....and are of a "reasonable price....or go more upmarket (if you like to show off) with a Range Rover or Merc which also have good offroad ability.
(Or a Jeep if you prefer unreliable cars...)
If you don't really want to go offroad much then anything from cheap end (Nissan Murano) up (via X5, Q7...) to expensive end (Cayenne turbo...)...all good on tarmac,gravel and sand but not ideal for rougher stuff.

It's your money, but I wouldn't be thumping a $80k+ car over rocks and through tree branches.
