TCC’s Bottom Line

Built on Mercedes-Benz roots, the 2017 Infiniti QX30 is an agile and stylish subcompact that toes the line between crossover and hatchback.

The 2017 Volvo XC60 is a near-luxury contender at near-luxury prices. Its safety might be its biggest strong suit, which it rightly deserves.
