Need a new car as daughter is now 1 and an audi a5 coupe is just too annoying to get her in and out of

My must have are minimum engine size 2l, 3l+ preferred
Live in ulez zone so atleast 2016
Maximum 100k miles
Max 20k
0-60 under 8 seconds

The 4 cars that have made my shortlist

Ffrr
Rrs
Sq5
Cayenne

Obviously massive bills could be likely but am not overly concerned,

350d CLS Shooting Brake, something a bit different. Late 14 onwards facelift cars are ULEZ. CLS 63 AMG is just about within budget.

Go for a V8 RRS if you can... the SDV6 does seem troublesome. Maybe consider a Range Rover as the size difference is surprisingly minimal.

Oh forgot in the original message want an suv

I am leaning towards the v8 ffrr or rrs tbh. Definitely hear less major issues with them than the crank on the v6, although I would assume the v6 would have outsold the v8 many times over

Itch that needs scratching

If you are in London, might be worth checking insurance for either the RR or RRS as there have been some horror stories recently about insurance costs or even finding insurance in London and other big cities.

Just a word of warning. 1 year olds are indeed a pain to get in a car but they soon are able to climb in themselves, unless it's an SUV and then its too high and you end up lifting them up for longer. (I have recently got a SUV to learn this lesson myself having gone from a 4 series to a Lexus NX)

An estate, with a straight roofline is probably the most practical in that respect. (Bar a mpv with sliding doors).
