The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas is an all-new midsize crossover. It slots in between the compact Tiguan and high-end Touareg in Volkswagen's lineup. The Atlas is actually larger than the Touareg, but it doesn't offer the same level of features or options.

PROS
Spacious interior offers ample room for passenger in all three rows
Great compromise between precise handling and everyday comfort
Straightforward cabin design makes everything easy to use

CONS
Fuel economy lags that of some competitors
Not very quick to accelerate, even with the optional V6

When you're shopping for a full-size luxury SUV there's no reason to compromise. The 2017 Lincoln Navigator offers room for eight, classic American styling and most of the high-tech features you would expect in a modern family vehicle.The 2017 Lincoln Navigator gets no significant changes from the previous model year.

Pros
Serene ride over any kind of road surface
Lots of cargo room in both the standard and extended length versions
Easy-to-use tech interface
Substantial towing capacity allow it to handle large trailers.

Cons
Some of the cabin materials look and feel cheap for a vehicle in this price range
Doesn't offer some of the advanced safety features available on competitors.

The 2017 Lincoln Navigator has exceptional interior room, lots of bling, and unexpectedly good handling.Crossovers come, crossovers go, but full-size SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator have spent more time in vogue than Elle MacPherson. When gas prices are low, they're on the A-list; when fuel costs as much as an airplane ticket, they're still on the A-list, and they're not shy about it.

Pros
Vast cabin—or vaster, if you need
Tops in ride and handling
New infotainment features
Gas mileage is on the rise
Twin-turbo V-6 is a blast

Cons
Still a big 'ute in a downsized era
Still a 6-speed automatic
Adaptive dampers bundled as expensive options

By:

The 2017 Lincoln Navigator ranks 7 out of 8 Luxury Large SUVs. If you're looking to buy a large luxury SUV with three rows of seats, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator is your cheapest way to get there. It also leads the class in both towing capacity and cargo space. However, you can find swankier interiors in most rivals, and the Navigator has a sparse list of driver assistance features.

Pros
Brawny engine with above-average fuel economy
Excellent towing capacity
Outstanding cargo room
Adult-friendly third-row seats

Cons
Few driver assistance features available
Interior feels outdated and low-rent to some
