Performance, plug-in, or pedestrian: there’s a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE for almost every luxury-SUV buyer.

Pros
Wide palette of body styles, powertrains, trims
GLE Coupe, for the well-to-do contrarian
Powertrain choice abounds
Composed, quiet ride

Cons
AMG = $$$
Not so fuel-efficient
Addled infotainment interface
Odd feature availability
Coupe body costs money, space

By:

The AMG GLE 43 is slightly more powerful, increasing engine output from 362 horsepower to 385 hp. Otherwise, the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is unchanged for 2018.

PROS
Multiple available powertrains make each model distinct
Interior is quiet, upscale and roomy
Abundant list of standard safety, tech and luxury features
AMG variants are seriously quick

CONS
Not many places to store small personal items
Punishing ride on AMG models, with little benefit to handling
Ride quality with the standard suspension isn't as comfy as we expect
Base V6's acceleration is merely adequate

Cons
Information overload
Stiff competition
Looks too much like the old one?

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The 2020 Audi Q7 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.The Q7 gets a styling refresh for 2020.Audi's newest MMI infotainment replaces the old system.

Pros
Exceptional interior materials and build quality
Excellent ride quality regardless of road surface
Cutting-edge safety and infotainment technology features
Surprisingly agile handling

Cons
Offers less cargo space than most competitors
Cramped third-row seat
New infotainment system is distracting to use

By: 
edmunds.com

The Q7 receives an extensive facelift for 2020, including updated exterior styling, more technology features on the inside, and a new turbocharged V-6 engine that will be the only engine option until Audi re-launches a turbocharged four-cylinder Q7 later in 2020. The 2020 Q7 also adopts the two-row Q8 SUV's touchscreen-heavy interior, featuring a large infotainment display stacked on top of another secondary display that handles vehicle settings and climate control.

Pros
Back-road athleticism,
beautiful and high-tech cabin,
three-row versatility

Cons
Pricey with extras,
snug third row,
subtle styling gets lost in parking lots.
