Fresh-faced and better equipped, the 2020 CR-V is now an even more compelling choice among compact SUVs. Aside from the styling improvements versus last year's model, Honda is now offering a hybrid powertrain which consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors; the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder has been dropped and the previously optional turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is now standard on all non-hybrid CR-Vs. More standard and optional equipment enhances the CR-V's value for 2020, starting with a suite of driver-assistance features that includes automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control that will be standard on all models.
Pros Classy interior trimmings, two fuel-efficient powertrains, voluminous cargo hold.

The 2019 Infiniti Q70 is a five-passenger midsize luxury sedan with an excellent available V8 that's otherwise showing its age, and it's outshined by more recent competitors.The big V8 adds a lot of character to the otherwise middling Q70, so the Q70 5.6 Luxe is the trim we'd pick. Unless driving in inclement weather is a common occurrence for you, we'd also forgo all-wheel drive.
Pros Athletic, with strong acceleration in V8 versions Large cabin with comfortable seats
Cons Limited small-item storage in cabin Ride comfort suffers with the 20-inch wheels Many driver assistance features are optional Infotainment interface is dated and clunky to use
