Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2020, the MDX carries over without any changes to its appearance, mechanical components, or available features. The lineup continues to offer a gasoline and gas-electric hybrid model as well as a second-row bench that allows up to seven passengers or captain's chairs that seat up to six. However, Acura did increase the base price of the regular MDX and the Sport Hybrid by $100.

Pros
Entertaining to drive—for a three-row crossover, quick and smooth hybrid powertrain, standard driver assists.

Cons
Unremarkable passenger space, quirky touchscreen setup, options inflate the price.

Good efficiency from hybrid
Standard active safety features

CONS
Pricey options packages
Top trims don’t feel quite as luxurious as we’d expect

Shallow cargo area

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.Upgraded interior with new center console.New infotainment system with larger touchscreen display.Enhanced driver assist safety features.

Pros
Sharp steering and precise handling
Powerful and exciting engines
Distinctive styling helps it stand out from the crowd

Cons
Snug cargo volume
Missing some of the latest technology features
Overly sensitive brake pedal

By: 
edmunds.com

An all-new infotainment system is featured prominently on the 2020 Stelvio's dashboard and features an 8.8-inch touchscreen interface that's prettier, easier to navigate, and can be customized to the driver's preferences. A handful of new driver-assistance features are now available as options, including a semi-autonomous driving mode, and Alfa Romeo has made autonomous emergency braking a standard feature this year.

Pros
Unmistakably Italian styling,
lively handling,
gutsy turbocharged engine.

Cons
Tight cargo area,
entry-level models don't seem luxurious,
untested reliability.
