Looking to get into the three-row crossover game with something more nimble than the full-size Escalade, Cadillac has launched the XT6. Based on the same underpinnings as the GMC Acadia and the smaller Cadillac XT5, the mid-size XT6 is spacious and family-friendly. It has many of Cadillac's unique styling cues, including a front end that is inspired by the Cadillac Escala concept, along with upscale trim and different lighting elements.
Pros Things we like Good electric/hybrid handover Fuel and battery efficiency Build quality Not so much
Cons Hefty price Compromised load area Under-servoed brakes Paranoid parking assistance
The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best.
Pros Good ride and handling, fine engines, well-finished cabin, many high-tech options
Cons Note that word 'options'. And the steering is a bit numb, not helped by the thick steering wheel
PROS Good power and response in hybrid mode Premium styling and high-quality cabin Plenty of space for adults front and rear
CONS Not a lot of grunt in EV mode Short real-world EV range Battery packaging impedes on cargo space
