It doesn’t really do sharp handling, it’s not quite big enough to match the best in class for practicality, nor does it come with seven seats. Yet don’t overlook the C5 Aircross if those limitations don’t worry you, because it has a lot of other things going for it; its ride is superb on most roads, it cruises along supremely quietly, it has a reasonable purchase price and very reasonable running costs.
Pros Mostly a super-smooth ride Quiet inside at speed Frugal engines
Cons Wallowy handling No seven-seat option Question marks of Citroën's reliability
The C5 Aircross is Citroen's (late) leap onto the family-crossover bandwagon.A plug-in hybrid arrives early in 2020. The big draw with that one will be better fuel economy for commuting, and lower tax. Interestingly Citroen elected to make its PHEV front-drive only to keep the price down. Whereas Peugeot, which sells 3008s at a higher price, went for a more expensive PHEV system with 4WD via an extra rear-mounted motor.
Pros Very comfortable in all sorts of ways. Looks different. No sporty pretence
Cons No sporty actuality. Ride not as consistent as billed. Occasionally irritating screen system
Pros Eye-catching looks Generous boot space Comfortable to drive
Cons Some low-rent interior bits Awkward infotainment system Rear space is tight
There are no significant changes to the 2020 QX60
Pros Quiet, comfortable cabin makes for a soothing ride Offers easy access to third-row seats Smooth transmission operation adds to the luxurious feel Plush ride quality makes long trips enjoyable
Cons Not as sporty as some other large luxury SUVs Desirable features are all extra and bundled into packages Off-road capability isn't part of its formula Third-row legroom is tight for adults
The 2020 Infiniti QX60 blends sleek style and standard safety tech for a strong family-oriented offering.
Pros Sleek looks Standard automatic emergency braking Comfortable, quiet ride Optional active safety features
Cons Small third row Dated interior design Lackluster handling Sub-par cargo space
