Pros
Impressive list of standard and optional advanced driver aids

Cons

This year marks the beginning of a new generation of Grand Cherokee with the arrival of the three-row L model. It makes its debut before the updated two-row Grand Cherokee (reviewed separately), which will switch to this new design for 2022. A 4Xe plug-in hybrid model is likely coming for the 2022 model year.

Pros
Deluxe cabin environs,
plenty of off-road capability,
room for up to seven riders.

Cons
Base V-6 not as refined as optional V-8,
awkward proportions on smaller diameter wheels,
most desirable models are pricey.

BMW's second full-electric car is a little more 'normal', a pragmatic EV that can go a long way on a charge

Pros
Goes a long way,
quietly on relatively little electricity

Cons
Doesn't explore electric packaging possibilities.
Not 4WD

The BMW iX3 is good to drive and practical, with a better range than rivals, namely the Audi E-tron and Mercedes EQC. It also has a fab infotainment system and a smart interior, so it’s a fine buy if you’re looking for a big electric SUV.

Pros
Longer range than most direct rivals
Great infotainment system
Comparatively well priced

Cons
Not as fast as rivals
Audi E-tron is quieter
Tesla Model 3 has a longer range and faster charging

Pros
Drives like a BMW should
Looks won't alienate EV newbies
Impressive range and performance

Cons
