TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Lexus RX stays strong in an increasingly crowded class with styling that stands out and powertrains that don’t.

The 2021 Volvo XC60 drops the luxury-car attitude and delivers all the luxury-car feels.

TCC Likes

Efficient hybrid
F Sport shines inside and out
Comfy for five

Both front- and all-wheel drive available
Excellent interior
Four solid powertrains

TCC Dislikes

...Edgy styling can be a turn off
Useless third row
Getting expensive

T5, T6 engines can be thirsty
Premium fuel only
Limited plug-in hybrid range
