The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
8.2

8.8

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2016 Lincoln MKX makes good progress in its battle for luxury credibility, with sharp acceleration and style to accompany its gulp-worthy price tag. Smooth, quiet and comfortable, the 2016 Nissan Murano is a stylish choice for empty-nesters who aren't concerned with sportiness or off-road capability. The 2016 Volvo XC60 remains a luxury-SUV contender, though a plethora of powertrains and options can take the $36,000 base price well over $50,000.
