I just got a 2017 XC90 which is similar (same platform) but slightly larger. It's a great car, takes a little time to get used to the Sensus interface since most of the buttons are gone. 2018 XC60 has the same interface so I would mess around with that before committing.

I almost picked up a CPO X5 50i but the wife didn't like the driver's position and 3rd row was useless. Also looked at the Q7 but wasn't a huge fan of the new body style and 3rd row was too small. XC90 actually drove much better than expected and for me, the interior design was better than the other two, it's just less busy.

Downside for me is the engine sound. It's a twincharged 4 cylinder so decent power but it sounds like a sewing machine. My 2 previous cars that the XC90 replaced were powered by a N54 and VQ35 so the 4 cylinder is taking some getting used to.
