TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2022 Audi Q5 crossover SUV goes long on everyday virtue—and on nimble road manners in the sporty SQ5 edition. The 2022 BMW X3 crossover SUV has it all and does it all, from light off-roading to high-speed track scorching. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class runs the gamut from AMG track star to urbane oasis.
