I’m currently driving a ford escape for work. Since it’s a company vehicle I’d like to keep my budget about $35000 preowned. I’m in outside sales I need a cargo area of about 33.5 cubic feet.
I’m looking for preferably 6 cylinder minimum
I’m more concerned about cargo area, ride or comfort
In any particular order
Honda passport/pilot
Hyndai Tucson/Santa Fe/Palisade
Jeep grand Cherokee
Toyota Highlander
Kia telluride and maybe Sorrento
Volkswagen Atlas?
Subaru - Ascent

Since I’ve been in Ford escape and Chevy equinox in the past I’d prefer to avoid those.
Is there any models that I’m overlooking

Haven't heard great things about the Atlas, but that's when they first came out. Wife had the pervious model Grand Cherokee and loved it. We have the new model now and love it. Don't know what the market is on those though.

I'd get the Grand Cherokee. All others seem like soccer mom wagons

4runner used or low mileage xterra with the 4.0 v6. my 2005 xterra offroad model is the best vehicle i've ever owned. rugged. brilliant rear storage solutions. lots of power. locking rear diff. good clearance. can haul small stuff like a SXS no problem.

$4,200, can haul your Ford Escape to the dump and will put everyone at soccer practice on notice.

It has it all.

You have to prove you’re a lesbian before the Subaru dealership will put any paperwork in front of you.

We have a 2014 Nissan Armada with 167,000 miles on it and love it. Had 2 Suburbans prior. A 1994 and 2003 and miss the extra space behind the 3rd row but we have no real deal breaker issues and would buy another.

Is the SUV a requirement just for looks? A minivan will give you superior cargo area, ride and comfort. Most will collapse the rear seats into the floor and give you a huge amount of space for cargo. Car-like ride quality and comfort and good gas mileage as well.

Passport, for sure. Unibody construction for a comfortable ride. Plenty of space in the back, and can find a certified one in that price range. Better resale value than all of those, and the longevity of a Honda. Not to mention safety.

From your list if you also add in reliability then Highlander first and Pilot second. While SUVs like the 4Runner are extremely reliable the ride quality is a definite notch or two below a modern CUV. As someone who often travels quite a bit by car for work a comfortable ride when you are racking up miles makes life so much better.

My mom has a newer Highlander. I was surprised how much room there is in there. My wife has an older Lexus RX350 and I think I'm going to get her the Highlander for her next vehicle
