The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 GMC Acadia shines most brightly in turbo-4 spec, but rival three-row crossovers put out more lumens.

The 2021 Lincoln Aviator drops sensational style and space, but the Grand Touring plug-in’s a bit of a misfire.

TCC Likes

Handsome shape
Well-designed infotainment
Turbo-4 or V-6 strength

A 7/8ths Navigator
Big infotainment displays
Hybrid plug-in

TCC Dislikes

Active safety tech should be standard
A little narrow inside
Pushbutton shifter isn’t our favorite

It’s $$$$
Third row is small
The V-6 moans
