The 2019 Volvo XC40 is a compact luxury crossover with seating for five. Two trim levels are available: the Momentum and the R-Design. Every XC40 comes loaded with luxury and safety features, including LED headlights, leather upholstery, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning and mitigation. Upgrading to the R-Design doesn't cost much more and adds exterior styling enhancements (a black roof and black window surrounds, among others), larger wheels and more luxury features. Each is also available with several available features packages and stand-alone options.
PROS Pleasing interior layout with premium materials Clever small-item storage and cargo solutions Plenty of standard and available safety features

The 2019 Volvo XC40 upends tradition—and traditional style—in mostly acceptable ways, and kicks off the car-subscription era with a stylish bang.
Pros Clever interior features Competent turbo-4 in T5 trims Smooth 8-speed automatic World-beating subscription model Smart 9.0-inch touchscreen as standard
Cons Exterior can get funky—and not the good kind Frustrating shift knob A Swedish car with extra-cost heated seats? Rear bench is best for two Will a Netflix car for broadcast buyers work?
From the outside, the Mulliner is distinguished by its two-tone paint, chrome grilles in the lower fascia, color-matched lower bodywork, and 22-inch Paragon wheels with weighted centers that always display the Bentley logo upright. (The two-tone paint treatment, however, also will be offered on regular Bentaygas.) Inside, the Mulliner continues to set itself apart with two-tone leather seating, a refrigerated compartment in the rear center console that also features storage for a pair of Cumbria Crystal flutes, customizable ambient lighting in 15 colors, illuminated sill plates, and special wood veneers that fade from burr walnut to black as they wrap around the cabin.
It's big, it's brash, it's heavy and it's officially the world's fastest SUV. Meet the Bentley Bentayga Speed.
Pros It's the world's fastest SUV with a 306km/h top speed Unique Alcantara upholstery is not only exquisite but holds you steady on track Better throttle response and keener steering make this a more exciting Bentayga without any compromise to ride comfort in standard ride modes
Cons You'll need a keen eye to spot the Speed over the standard W12 bar the badges Styling will still be too discrete for some Sports exhaust is optional as are carbon-ceramic brakes
