TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Acura RDX is a stylish, strong-performing crossover SUV worthy of a place on any shopping list.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is comfortable and quiet, with few rivals in among small luxury crossovers.

The 2020 Volvo XC60 delivers all the feel and substance of a luxury car, without any ostentatious attitude.
