Like many other Land Rover models the Evoque receives an infotainment overhaul for 2021. All Evoques now come standard with the brand's new Pivi Pro software interface, which is simpler to use and offers more modern features such as over-the-air update capability. A new Online Pack package is available and includes a wireless smartphone charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Spotify integration.
PROS Fashionable exterior, tailored interior appearance, brand-name recognition.
CONS Tight rear-passenger space, smaller-than-average cargo area, poor highway fuel economy.
The 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque sports a classy interior and solid off-road prowess, but its powertrain is mediocre, and passenger and cargo space are just so-so. This vehicle doesn't have an overall score or ranking because it hasn't been fully crash tested.
PROS Well-appointed cabin Capable off-roader
CONS Subpar fuel economy Small back seat Inconsistent transmission
Land Rover plays with a winning formula just enough. The Evoque remains a stylish, accomplished choice.
PROS It's still got the look, inside and out. Visual class is backed by road refinement
CONS Cramped for a crossover. Expensive
For 2020, the MDX carries over without any changes to its appearance, mechanical components, or available features. The lineup continues to offer a gasoline and gas-electric hybrid model as well as a second-row bench that allows up to seven passengers or captain's chairs that seat up to six. However, Acura did increase the base price of the regular MDX and the Sport Hybrid by $100.
Pros Entertaining to drive—for a three-row crossover, quick and smooth hybrid powertrain, standard driver assists.
Cons Unremarkable passenger space, quirky touchscreen setup, options inflate the price.
The 2020 Acura MDX is a stately three-row family crossover that has aged well.
PROS Handsome looks Confident power Spread-out space Good efficiency from hybrid Standard active safety features
CONS Pricey options packages Top trims don’t feel quite as luxurious as we’d expect Third row can be cramped for tall adults Shallow cargo area
The 2020 Acura MDX Hybrid comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 7-speed automated manual.No significant changes for 2020.
Pros Generous array of features and active driver aids for the money Excellent all-wheel-drive system allows for sharp handling Generous interior storage Quiet, comfortable and spacious cabin
Cons Cabin looks and feels less luxurious than those of some rivals Adaptive cruise control can be slow to respond and abrupt when it does Dual-screen infotainment system can be quite difficult to use Handoff between all-electric and engine power is clunky
