The best car to do a lap of Australia

I’m after a prestige SUV, budget around $100,000, to last me the next ten years. After 40 years of basic cars, I’m keen on things like heated leather seats, premium audio and decent power. We’ll tour Australia but no off-roading or towing and only grandkids would use the rear seats. Diesel, petrol or hybrid’s fine, but not electric and reliability concerns me. I’ve tested a Porsche Macan (great fun) and Lexus NX 350 (very luxurious). I’d also consider a Genesis GV70, Audi Q5 or BMW X3, but not a Mercedes.
