You should look at the Mercedes ML 320 CDI. I've had one for a year and am very impressed with it. In fact I think it is the best all around vehicle I've ever owned.

Mileage is great (8 or 9 liters per 100km — not sure what that is in mpg). And it certainly is luxurious.

The diesel has huge amounts torque, and the car is very quick. And although the car has lots of room inside, the outside dimensions are actually quite compact—for an SUV.

It's an amazing car really, that gets rave reviews—in Europe in particular. The first series of these cars had some quality problems, but the new series (since 2006) is built like a bank vault.
