Nearly new SUVs suitable for families?

I’m in the market to by a near new used SUV. I’ve been looking at a 2011 Mazda CX-7, Hyundai iX35 and Tucson along with the Nissan X-Trail. As you may tell I’ve become very confused and have read and heard bad reviews on the CX-7 and iX35. Being a single parent with children over 10 I want a car that will last for me. What would you recommend out of these?

I would rule out the CX-7 on the basis of poor fuel consumption, the performance of the iX35 petrol version is a little lacking, the Tucson is a better car, but I would suggest the X-Trail is probably your best bet.
