Other crossovers

Buick Enclave

MSRP: $40,990

The Enclave is tasteful and refined, and it offers spacious accommodations in all three rows of seating. A 310-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and nine-speed automatic drive the front or all four wheels. Second-row occupants enjoy captain’s chairs, while third-row passengers sit on a power-folding bench seat. All Enclaves come with an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot; automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are optional.

Acura MDX

MSRP: $45,195

Blending comfort, technology, and spirited handling into a three-row crossover is no easy feat, but the MDX manages to pull it off with ease. A 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 drives the front or all four wheels through a quick-shifting nine-speed automatic. Automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and dual infotainment screens are standard; navigation and rear-seat entertainment are optional. A hybrid, powered by a 3.0-liter V-6 and a trio of electric motors is also available.

Porsche Cayenne

MSRP: $66,750

The Cayenne is a spicy-hot mix of luxury, off-road ability, and sports-car performance — just what you’d expect in a Porsche SUV. The base model has a 340-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6; the S makes 440 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6. There's also the E-Hybrid with its combined 455 horsepower and 20 miles of electric-only range. All have an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. A leather-lined cabin and infotainment with navigation make it a comfortable road tripper.

Audi Q7

MSRP: $50,875

In this class, we expect ample room and comfort, but the Q7 adds agility, earning it a 2018 10Best award. The base engine is a 252-hp 2.0-liter turbo four; a 333-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 is optional. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive; available four-wheel steering, adaptive dampers, and an air suspension help the Q7 remain composed. The high-quality interior features the latest in infotainment, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
