The Q2 is pleasingly bold on the surface, but plays with a very safe bat beneath it

It can rumble with hot hatches, but does Audi's youth-focussed compact SUV warrant its $50K-plus price tag?

Cons Asks for Q3 money Misses key safety tech Second row not the last word in comfort
The 2021 Ford Bronco is a throwback SUV in all the best ways.
Pros Bronco’s back Awesome retro looks Removable doors and roof Sturdy powertrains Ready to hit the trail out of the box
Cons How much will top trims cost? How bouncy will the ride be? Swing gate could be a problem in cities Fuel economy not likely to be great No word on hybrids, yet
Ford resurrects the Bronco nameplate for 2021, and it emulates the old-school vibe and off-road pedigree of its iconic mid-1960's predecessors. Now that Ford has revealed the thing, we have a much better idea of its capabilities and specifications. The new Bronco will arrive in dealerships in spring 2021.The base two-door Bronco starts at just under $30,000, but upgrading to upper trims gets expensive quickly. Our ideal configuration would be a four-door with the more powerful engine, and it needs to have the off-road hardware to live up to its roots. That points us towards the Bronco Wildtrack, which comes standard with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels and huge 35-inch mud-terrain tires.
An all-new off-road-focused SUV. Offered in two- and four-door configurations.
Pros Offers extraordinary level of customization Impressive all-terrain specifications Cool retro styling without being kitschy Smart off-road-specific technologies
Cons Manual transmission only offered on the base engine
