TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Ford Escape works well as a crossover SUV, but has the ride and handling of a smartly tuned hatchback.

The 2019 Honda CR-V rewards owners with fantastic utility and great safety scores.

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is a convincing crossover SUV with room for families and cargo.
