Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

With so much Giulia DNA, the Stelvio was bound to be good. At last an Alfa to buy with your heart *and* head

Pros
One of the more lithe SUVs to drive
is comfy and refined too

Cons
Not without compromise, and does it look good enough for an Alfa?

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

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.
