The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 X7 caps BMW’s excellent range of SUVs with the most seats, the most horsepower, and the most luxurious cabin.

Low-key luxury lies in the 2021 Volvo XC90’s serene cockpit, in its strong acceleration, and in its gray-wool confines.

TCC Likes

Crisp styling
Well-balanced road manners
Excellent standard features

Proudly Scandinavian, inside and out
Simple and sophisticated interior
Tablet-like touchscreen

TCC Dislikes

Yes, it’s expensive
Small cargo area with all seats up
A big step from turbo-6 to twin-turbo V-8

Base powertrain lacks potency
Some flimsy materials in the cabin
Not a performance SUV
