TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Infiniti QX30 stands out with style and sprightliness but makes compromises in interior space.

The 2019 Volvo XC40 upends tradition—and traditional style—in mostly acceptable ways, and kicks off the car-subscription era with a stylish bang.

TCC Likes

Swoopy style
Upscale interior
Spry handling

Clever interior features
Competent turbo-4 in T5 trims
Smooth 8-speed automatic

TCC Dislikes

Limited interior space
Inconsistent throttle
Style over practicality

Exterior can get funky—and not the good kind
Frustrating shift knob
A Swedish car with extra-cost heated seats?
