Expert Reviews

Expert reviews:

Ford has made a few tweaks to its mid-size crossover for 2021, such as making heated seats standard on the XLT, offering a heated steering wheel as an optional feature on that model, and including an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger's seat on the Limited, ST, and Platinum models. A Sport Appearance package is now available on the XLT trim, and it includes 20-inch aluminum wheels that are coated in Carbonized Gray paint.

Pros
Smooth and controlled ride,
cargo friendly interior design,
comfortable front seats.

Cons
Third row space is tight,
plasticky interior bits,
most desirable models are pricey.

Good looks
Great active safety tech
Available hybrid
Quiet interio

Cons
Hybrid isn’t refined
Not a great value
Cramped third row
Clunky second row

For 2021, All-new interior design with new dash, steering wheel and infotainment screen.Minor changes to exterior design.Lineup now consists of Long Range and Plaid trims.

Pros
Instant and powerful acceleration
Electric range is impressive
Three-row seating is available
Access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network

Cons
Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality
Vast windshield lets too much sun and heat into the cabin
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren't offered

If you can look past the gimmickry of the falcon doors, the 2021 Tesla Model X can render the big gas-guzzling family SUV obsolete.

Pros
Shockingly good performance
Smooth, controlled ride
Quick, clear 17.0-inch touchscreen
A design like no other

Cons
Gimmicky falcon-wing doors
Disappointing interior space
High prices
Awkward-looking profile

By:

The Model X has received a styling refresh both inside and out for 2021. Cleaner lines give the SUV a more modern appearance on the outside while the cabin benefits from a redesigned infotainment display and a new F1-style square steering wheel. The lineup now consists of the Long Range and the performance-oriented Plaid models.

Pros
Impressive all-electric driving range,
fast-charging capability,
giggle-inducing acceleration.

Cons
Interior lacks luxury panache,
top-hinged Falcon Wing doors are fussy,
mediocre fit-and-finish.
