TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Acura MDX remains one of the best luxury three-row SUVs, but the benefits of its new nine-speed automatic are unclear.

The 2016 Cadillac SRX smooths out the road ahead with a luxurious ride, smooth V-6 power, and the mixed blessing of touchscreen controls.

The new 2016 Lexus RX is edgier and more focused than before—more of a style-conscious statement of indulgence—when your luxury car also has to be a very practical everyday driver.

TCC Likes

Refined and quiet
Roomy for six
Easy to operate

Strong, smooth power
A rolling technology showcars
Interior is distinctive, luxurious

Curvier, edgier new design
Refinement and comfort
Improved suite of safety technology

TCC Dislikes

Unrefined transmission
Glare from bright trim
Lacks steering feedback

Brakes feel soggy
Fuel economy is below average
Heavy driving feel

Still no third row
Will rakish look cut passenger space?
