If you want drivers car at that price point the Macan S is best from what you listed from the SUV / CUV camp. If you want cheap fun the first gen X1 xDrive35 with the big engine is a blast. You can get a really nice certified one for $25K-ish, have warranty and maintenance through 100K and take it to Dinan and turn it into a rocket ship.
I hated X2 as well

I heard Macan is smaller then SQ5. I am not a big fan of pre-2018 models
