Expert reviews: 

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:

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.

Fully redesigned for 2022.

Pros
Comfortable cabin and ample cargo space
Balances sporty handling with a relaxed ride
Generous array of features and driver aids for the money
Quick acceleration from the Type S model

Cons
Standard engine can be noisy and lacks the power of turbocharged rivals
Infotainment touchpad requires a steep learning curve

By:

Acura redesigned the MDX for 2022, skipping the 2021 model year. The new SUV shares its styling and technology with the recently revamped RDX and TLX models.

Pros
Sharp styling,
surprisingly nimble chassis,
high-tech cabin.

Cons
Tight third row passenger space,
mediocre fuel economy ratings,
fussy infotainment touchpad.
