TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 sates solo drivers with good handling and tasteful lines, but bigger families will want to move up in size.

The 2019 VW Tiguan has a spacious interior and a comfortable ride, but its price climbs quickly.
