+1 for V8 Defender. I had a 110. Solid. Supercharger whine. They have made them more luxurious I believe for the latest model year compared to my old 2023.
However, we have added a 24 Cayenne that is the wifes. I had a 2019 Cayenne. Great DD SUVs, the base 6 is quite good pre 2024 and 2024 with the slight bump in power, v8 would be nice but wife doesn't care about it and it creeps the price up a fair bit. The v6 handled the autobahns quite nicely, max I was allowed to go was 201 km/h but regularly cruised for good stretches 160-180 km/h. Not that any of that matters here, but point being it's a capable vehicle.
If you're not hauling people or big things, go with a smaller SUV. Macan is great at that. I do agree the design is getting long in the tooth on the ICE.
There are specials on the F-Pace, it's a decent smaller SUV. v8 still available. Getting emails from Jag on special offers for them.

I find it funny that we have a very similar stable. My dad had a Cayenne. Cayenne was great but we have 4 kids so with hockey equipment and skiis it would be too small.

$1200/Mo with 9K trade in and 5K down. The MSRP is low on the one we got. A replacement Yukon Denali was going to be about $300/ month more. The residuals on the Defenders are pretty crazy right now and the interest rate was lower than GM.

We bought a 24 Cayenne E-Hybrid.
Prior to this we had a Model S, sold it as we went abroad for a bit. When we came back he choises were a Macan GTS (too small for three kids), a Model Y (spacious, cheap. cheerful but lacks soul) or the Cayenne and not the Model X (stupid doors). We ended up buying it cash, lease was pushed but the rates weren't great despite promotions. We would have love to ordered a bespoke one, but there was a nicely optioned model on the lot and we were in a time crunch. Fast forward three months, we LOVE the Cayenne - it's a premium over a ~70k SUV but who cares :P I like the blend of electric/gas - efficiency for short trips for kids sports and gas for the long range trips.

Wr have a stelvio and it's been good to us, it's a touch bigger than a macan and nearly as aagile. They are clearing out 24s but will make 25 for sale soon. Tbh I'd buy a 24 as you're likely to get a very solid deal

That is for the next model make over not for 25, for 25 it will be the regular 2T (no quad available but you don't 550hp or whatever) and only one trim model. Again, in saying that, there are cars on the lot right now ready to take delivery at likely a decent discount. The car looks great, it's different and goes pretty hard, handling is excellent for a SUV. It is tight though, I have a 12 and 8 year old and they are fine but it is not CRV big for example. Wife loves it so you know the saying...................
