TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Acura MDX is a stately three-row family crossover that has aged well.

The 2020 Audi Q7 comes loaded with tech.

The 2020 Volvo XC90 gets a few tweaks, but remains a stylish, practical, and safe luxury SUV.

TCC Likes

Handsome looks
Confident power
Spread-out space

Q8-inspired look
High-tech interior
Just right size

Proudly Scandinavian, inside and out
Simple and sophisticated interior
Tablet-like touchscreen

TCC Dislikes

Pricey options packages
Top trims don’t feel quite as luxurious as we’d expect
Third row can be cramped for tall adults

Information overload
Stiff competition
Looks too much like the old one?

Not a performance SUV
Base powertrain lacks potency
Some flimsy materials in the cabin
