The newest ambitious project from Tesla is the all-electric Model Y compact crossover. Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk touted a driving range of up to 300 miles and a zero-to-60-mph time of as little as 3.5 seconds when he unveiled the Model Y during a livestreamed event in March. The 2020 Tesla Model Y looks very similar to the compact Model 3 sedan but can be outfitted with a third row of seats for a total seating capacity of seven.
Pros Peppy electric powertrain, spacious cargo hold, cutting-edge technology features.
Cons Chassis isn't as taut as the four-door Model 3, fit-and-finish needs polish, too reliant on the touchscreen for simple vehicle settings.

Pros Exceptional interior materials and build quality Excellent ride quality Plenty of safety and infotainment tech features Surprisingly agile handling
Cons Offers less cargo space than most competitors Cramped third-row seat Infotainment system is distracting to use
The 2021 Audi Q7 fuses a high-class cabin and abundant tech features with a coddling ride, engaging handling, and energetic engines, but it falls short on cargo and third-row space. The Q7 does not have an overall score or ranking because it has not been scored for predicted reliability.
Pros Powerful engines Well-balanced ride and handling Lots of high-tech features Opulent cabin
Cons Subpar cargo space Tight third row
The 2021 Audi Q7 three-row SUV features more standard safety and convenience features, an excellent infotainment system, and a soft, luxurious ride.

Cons New engine is less efficient V-6 is about $6,000 more, depending on trim Third row for children only Third-row access should be easier
