Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Toyota RAV4 is the meat-and-potatoes crossover for many buyers; the RAV4 Prime supplies the all-electric range.

Standard active safety features
Good all-wheel-drive systems

Cons
Interior is compromised
Prime priced prime near $40,000

Toyota has made only one change to the RAV4 for the 2021 model year: Blizzard Pearl replaces Super White on the color palette. A plug-in hybrid RAV4 Prime joins the lineup, and the hybrid model gets a new XLE Premium trim; we review the two hybrid models separately.

Pros
Truckish good looks,
car-like road manners,
driver-assistance features are standard.

Cons
Spartan entry-level model,
engine moans and groans,
top trims can be pricey.

No significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Quiet interior and comfortable ride quality
Abundant cargo and passenger space
Easy-to-use controls

Cons
Lackluster power from powertrain
Uncomfortable front passenger seat
Vague steering

CONS
Remote Touchpad interface is frustrating to use
Limited cargo volume
Not much fun to drive

The 2021 Lexus NX's #7 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Compact SUVs category. Currently the Lexus NX has a score of 7.6 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 31 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.The 2021 Lexus NX 300 ranks in the lower half of the luxury compact SUV class.

Pros
Roomy seating
Smooth, quiet ride
Many standard safety features
Great predicted reliability rating

Cons
Frustrating infotainment controls
Relatively small cargo area

By:

Even though the subcompact NX is on the far side of the age curve, Lexus hasn't made any major changes to it for 2021. Blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is now standard, as are power-folding exterior mirrors with an auto-dimming function. Inside, Lexus has tweaked the NX's steering wheel and tachometer designs. Opting for the upgraded Mark Levinson stereo system now includes a Mark Levinson-branded amplifier. And a new color joins the options sheet: Nori Green Pearl.

Pros
Chiseled styling,
proper SUV seating height,
spacious interior.

Cons
Fussy infotainment controller,
middle-of-the-pack acceleration,
starting to show its age.
