Looking for a commuter car within a budget of $60

The overall gains in 2025 are quite good, exceeding expectations by 60 units. I’ve discussed with my family about possibly replacing my daily driver. Currently, I have a second vehicle, a CX-5 from July 2014. Honestly, this entry-level SUV handles well, has low fuel consumption, and no issues. The only concern is that it’s over 10 years old, making annual inspections inconvenient.
I am quite satisfied with the X5 because the experience is excellent. Last year, on the German highway, when I suddenly encountered emergency braking in front of me at over 180 km/h, my X3 was able to proactively defend. It immediately applied full brakes and automatically activated the hazard lights, avoiding a serious rear-end collision. I believe if I had been driving my CX-5 at that moment, I wouldn’t have been so lucky. Also, its lane correction feature is quite good. Of course, these functions are now standard in many cars. I pushed the X3 to 220 km/h and it remained very stable, which makes me very fond of the X series.
Yesterday, I visited the 4S dealership to compare the X3 and X5, and I still prefer the X5.
Coincidentally, nearby Yongda has an AITO 4S store, so I also looked at the M8 and M9 6-seater Ultra. They had refrigerators, TVs, big sofas—everything kids love. My child immediately fell in love and strongly recommended abandoning the X5 in favor of the M9.
I prioritize safety more, and the Tesla Model Y also seems very good. I plan to check it out during the Spring Festival.
I’m a bit undecided now.
Can any car-savvy friends help analyze and recommend?
