We got an Outlander for the wife last time, which is 5+2 seats - it's actually been quite handy plus it is the lowest roofline out of all the current offerings that's sub moonbeam $$$$ for a new one. We didn't get a 4wd or awd or whatever they are this time, as there wasn't one available (we brought during Covid and imports were hugely delayed so it was about a 6 month wait and her other car had shat the dual mass flywheel).
The 4wd version is in a similar class to the Outback, less ground clearance maybe but a lot cheaper. Apart from a few niggles which we are working through with mitsi, it's been good so far (53,000Km's since May 2021 I think).
