TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Audi Q3 whispers “GTI” in the ears of brand-conscious drivers—but it’s, like, discreet about it.

The 2019 Lexus UX gives its maker a kicky new entry point for crossover shoppers.

The 2019 Volvo XC40 upends tradition—and traditional style—in mostly acceptable ways, and kicks off the car-subscription era with a stylish bang.

TCC Likes

High-tech features standard
Frisky turbocharged engine
Roomier inside

Attractive styling...
... inside and out
Hybrid's excellent predicted fuel economy

Clever interior features
Competent turbo-4 in T5 trims
Smooth 8-speed automatic

TCC Dislikes

Too big for a subcompact?
Tech may require acclimation
Could get expensive

On paper, not much power
CVTs aren't our favorite transmissions
AWD only with hybrid

Exterior can get funky—and not the good kind
Frustrating shift knob
A Swedish car with extra-cost heated seats?
