TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Audi Q5 remains one of the most elegant, truly car-like crossovers on the market.

The 2015 MKC doesn’t go far in redefining Lincoln as a brand, but badging aside, it presents as exactly the luxury product shoppers want—a lively and lavish, yet super-refined compact crossover.

The 2015 Volvo XC60 crossover stays stylish--and now it gets much better gas mileage from a new four-cylinder engine.

TCC Likes

Lots of drivetrain choices, all good
A lesson in good taste
Quick shifts from the eight-speed

Strong turbo engine
Excellent steering, handling
Impressive cabin materials

Striking exterior design
Improved gas mileage (FWD only)
Superb safety ratings, features

TCC Dislikes

Still no standard rearview camera
Gas mileage isn't stellar on gas-only models
We're not sold by Drive Select's adaptive controls

Cramped back seat
Transmission doesn't match engine's urgency
Turbo fours aren't always misers

Low fuel economy for AWD models
Limited rear legroom
Severe interior
