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

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

TCC Likes

Good powertrain
Spacious cargo area
Standard automatic emergency braking

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

Zippy to drive
Nimble handling
Practical hatchback shape

TCC Dislikes

...but it’s pricey, like everything else
Styling is aged
Budget materials in lower trims

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

Cramped rear seats
Interior doesn't impress
So-so visibility
