The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
7.0
6.5
7.7
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2022 Acura MDX wears its new flagship mantle with confidence, from its styling to its eager road manners. The 2021 Buick Enclave is the smoother, smothering three-row crossover in GM’s stable. Low-key luxury lies in the 2021 Volvo XC90’s serene cockpit, in its strong acceleration, and in its gray-wool confines.
