TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 BMW X1 crossover is the right shape and the right price for entry luxury buyers willing to overlook some flaws.

The 2019 Jaguar E-Pace is a strong, fun-to-drive entry to a red-hot city luxury crossover market.

The Mercedes-Benz GLA merges hatchback size with crossover functionality and luxury appointments, with better-than-average results.
