TCC’s Bottom Line

The latest Land Rover Discovery trades Patagonia for Hugo Boss, but it’ll still head to the trails with the best of them.

The 2020 Volvo XC90 gets a few tweaks, but remains a stylish, practical, and safe luxury SUV.

Impressive engines
Slick transmission

Proudly Scandinavian, inside and out

TCC Dislikes

Not as distinctive as predecessor
Huge pricetag
