Tall toury

I am working on a business plan to form a personal tour company based on luxury SUVs for the better view they afford. So comfort, safety, reliability and to a degree economy are main considerations. Max of 4 passengers plus driver. Diesel. Country and hilly driving conditions. I have short listed:- Volvo XC90, Volkswagen Toureg, Landrover Discovery. Any suggestions would be welcome

Volvo XC90: Wait for the new 205PS twin turbo diesel, but a bit long in the tooth now.
Volkswagen Toureg: Had a few problems.
Landrover Discovery: Wait for the new 3.0V6 diesel.
Mercedes GL320CDI: The best of them all by a long way. More room. More luxurious. Better to drive. Sometimes hugely discounted because sales have been slow in the UK
