Pros Strong off-road capabilities Numerous customization options High-tech safety and off-road features
Cons Not as tough-looking as the original
Land Rover reopens the book on one of its most iconic nameplates with the all-new 2020 Defender. Its boxy shape and retro details combine with design language found on modern Land Rovers to create an appearance that's both sophisticated and nostalgic. While the 2020 Defender looks like an ordinary crossover, it has serious off-road capabilities and rugged equipment that help it live up to its go-anywhere heritage.
No significant changes for 2021.
Pros Generous cargo and passenger room Quiet and smooth ride Plenty of standard features Lots of device charging solutions
Cons Many advanced safety features only available on top trim levels Pricier than non-luxury rivals, but cabin materials aren't much nicer Thirstier than V6-powered competitors
The 2021 Buick Enclave is the smoother, smothering three-row crossover in GM’s stable.
Pros Great look Comfortable ride Good touchscreen Handsome interior
Cons Automatic braking not available on all models Limited body colors on base version Spendy Avenir Not very fuel-efficient
Buick's three-row family SUV rolls over to 2021 with only a few tweaks. Premium and Avenir models now come standard with power-adjustable lumbar support for the front seats and a massage feature, while the air ionizer is no longer available. Those two top models also receive a formerly optional package of driver-assistance features—including automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assist—as standard.
Pros Upscale exterior styling, plenty of tech features are standard, large cargo bay.
Cons Down-market interior materials, no standard driver-assists on lower trims, V-6 engine isn't particularly efficient.
