for $50g mdx for sure
300hp most hp you can get within its class for a V6
smaller size i'd go RDX, SH-AWD is definitely a kick ass system
Q5 if you gonna lease one
FX/EX35 can be put into consideration too

OP said COMPACT SUV. Also, he doesn't want handling/power/fancy features, he said he wants CARGO COMFORT SAFETY.
My recommendations following your 3 criterion:
1) Toyota RAV4
2) Honda Element
3) Honda CR-V
4) Subaru Forester
5) Ford Escape

FX/EX35 can be put into consideration too | none of those if you're EVER planning to take it off road
i'd go with a rav4 if price is important too

New equinox looks pretty nice, Safety shouldn't be much of a concern with modern CUVs in our market at least.

Rav4 V6 would be most logical without having to fiddle with a turbo engine....if you buy 2009 or older you can get a 7 seater version too.
After that it's definitely Forester.

The CRV was rated best compact SUV for 2010 by motor trend and fits all your criteria.
Let me know if you're interested in one.
They have $3000 cash rebate right now.

The Escape is the one you want. It has HUGE cargo space in the back. They come in 4cyl or V6, FWD or AWD, 5psd stick or 6spd auto. Lots of combos available.
With the employee pricing on right now, you can get them brand new for under $20k to start. They are about $5000-$6000 off MSRP.
Definitely worth taking a look at. We have sold so many in the last month that there are barely any 2010's left.

I would pick the Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson.. I think they're both absolutely gorgeous.
The Rav4 has grown quite large in its most recent iteration. Almost every other design out there is getting quite long in the tooth and a full re-design shouldn't be too far out.
