The 2017 Mazda CX-9 range of configurations is currently priced from $12,000.
Our most recent review of the 2017 Mazda CX-9 resulted in a score of 8.4 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Tim Robson had this to say at the time: The CX-9 has been designed to cut a sharp figure in the average driveway, and it certainly does that. While the GT is over $60,000, it looks every bit of it, though its sheer size may put off some prospective buyers.

You’ve covered some important things, like reversing cameras. All of the current cars come with ISOFIX baby seat mounting points, which are also must-have items when you’ve got kids to transport. It probably comes down to what your wife is comfortable driving, so I would suggest test-driving a number of different cars before making your decision.

It's hard to give you a definite recommendation, as most cargo measurements are in litres rather than floor length, but I reckon most mid-size wagons and large SUVs would do the job for you.
Most of these have a flat boot floor with the seats folded, and likely have ample body length for sleeping.
So Mazda6, Skoda Superb or Ford Mondeo wagons are worth a look, plus large SUVs like the Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.
Don't be afraid to try them out for size at the dealers either. You'd certainly test out a mattress before buying right?!

You've singled out two of the best in the class. Others to consider are the Mazda CX-9 and the Toyota Kluger, but it's hard to go past the Sorento and Santa Fe. Comparison information is available if you click on car reviews and go to the models you are interested in.
