TCC’s Bottom Line

Ignore the silly falcon doors and the 2020 Tesla Model X is a compelling family electric crossover.

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

TCC Likes

Stupefying performance
Rides well
Quick, clear 17-inch touchscreen

Proudly Scandinavian, inside and out
Simple and sophisticated interior
Tablet-like touchscreen

TCC Dislikes

Awkward style
Falcon doors are a gimmick
Disappointing interior space

Not a performance SUV
Base powertrain lacks potency
Some flimsy materials in the cabin
