Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2020 Dodge Durango takes on family crossover SUVs with brute strength, and some old-school compromises.

Pros
Tough truck looks
Muscle car performance
High-quality interior
High-capacity cabin
Hilarious Durango SRT

Cons
Old-school safety scores
Poor fuel economy
Stiff ride at times
Showing its age

The Durango is almost entirely unchanged for 2020, but the R/T trim sees some minute equipment updates, including a new Hemi fender badge for models with the Blacktop and Brass Monkey packages, a faux-suede headliner and accent stitching on the instrument panel for cars with the Premium interior package, and a new 20-inch wheel design.

Pros
Bold design, high tow ratings, V-8 is quick off the line.

Cons
Third row is only optional, aging platform, thirsty engines.

Small luxury crossovers are hot, but the 2019 Buick Encore offers a decidedly calm option. It's cute and affordable, but lacks some options found on others.

Pros
Refined ride
Compact size
Quality interior and trim
Attractive styling

Cons
Narrow, cramped interior
Underpowered base engine
Lacks standard safety tech
Price rises quickly with options

By:

Streamlined trim-level structure.More powerful engine is now optional.The 2019 Buick Encore is a bit more upscale than other subcompact crossovers thanks to its long list of features and the signature silence of Buick interiors.

Pros
Hushed cabin at highway speeds
Generous standard tech and safety features
Maneuverable size

Cons
Base engine delivers tepid performance
Small cargo area
