Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Kia Sorento crossover finds a new look but the same mission: it’s the smaller hauler compared to the Telluride.

PROS
Better style
Available hybrid powertrains
Bigger interior
Telluride’s looks

CONS
What’s with the door tooth?
Is the second row more comfortable?
Not appreciably bigger

The all-new Sorento is expected to make its debut at the Geneva auto show in March. Disguised and undisguised spy photos and several official images of the Kia have given us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the redesigned mid-size crossover. Its boxier proportions and bolder styling mark a stark departure from the curvier and softer appearance of the current Sorento. The Korean automaker has also said that the next-gen model will ride on an all-new platform that helps make it bigger inside and out. It will also feature a hybrid powertrain as well as an eventual plug-in variant.

The 2020 Jaguar E-Pace is unranked in Luxury Subcompact SUVs due to missing safety data. Currently, the Jaguar E-Pace's overall score is not available, though its Critics' Rating, Performance score, and Interior score are based on our evaluation of 18 pieces of research and data.

Pros
Lots of cargo room
Comfortable ride

Cons
Cramped rear seats
Poor fuel economy

By:

For 2020, Jaguar updates the E-Pace lineup by adding newly standard features and a limited-edition model. Every E-Pace now has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, which were previously optional with the Smartphone Pack. The new Checkered Flag Limited Edition is only available with the less powerful four-cylinder engine, but it brings unique exterior addenda as well as distinct cabin appointments. This setup also includes better standard equipment and all-wheel drive.

Pros
Unmistakable styling, surprisingly fun to drive, mostly tranquil ride.

Cons
Inconsistent interior quality, cramped back seat, costs more than it should.
