TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Audi Q5 offers one of the greatest range of powertrain choices in its class, ensuring that almost anyone can find a version of this handsome small crossover to fit their tastes.

The 2016 MKC doesn't redefine Lincoln on its own, but it's an appealing luxury crossover on far more than the merit of its brand.

TCC Likes

Lots of drivetrain choices, all good
A lesson in good taste
Quick shifts from the 8-speed

Strong turbocharged engines
Responsive steering, handling
Nicely detailed cabin

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

Tight back seat
EcoBoost engines aren't always "eco"
Transmission doesn't always match engine's urgency
