TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Lincoln MKX has an athletic feel and a classy interior, but we wish that its most advanced safety tech was available at a lower price point.

With the new 2018 XC60, Volvo has cached all the XC90’s good data, and trimmed some fat from its code.

TCC Likes

Robust V-6 engines
Comfortable, upmarket interior
Good infotainment system

Superlative safety equipment
Interior is achingly on-trend
Eager turbo-4 performance

TCC Dislikes

Thirsty lineup lacks hybrid option
Frustrating push-button shifter
Advanced safety tech is costly

Exterior’s a little me-too
Lifeless steering in most modes
Hefty in most editions
