If you want something a little larger, go with a Tahoe.

The wife bought a '21 Blazer last fall. It's been great so far. V6, Heated leather seats, Giant moon roof. Bose sound. Cameras all over. I just wish it had memory seats since we're so different in size. Premier trim would have had that.

We test drove a Mazda CX 90, it just felt too narrow and long.
I absolutely love new Chevys, styling/ergonomics/comfort and they drive great. They are also generally cheaper than the higher line brands, my only concern is how long lasting they might be compared to the Asian brands. I have a 2022 Malibu that I have put 30k on in one year and it’s been flawless. It just does everything that I want it to. The longevity concerns are mostly around the 1.5 turbo engine and CVT box but I just maintain it by the book and try not to beat on it.
