#BEST LUXURY CROSSOVER SUV PLUS#

The XC40вЂ™s 3500-pound towing capacity is an unexpected plus in this segment, too. A 184-hp turbocharged inline-four and front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel-drive models get a power boost to 248 horsepower. The base price is reasonable, you can choose a contrasting roof color, and the available Lava carpeting is crazy in a good way. Compared to what others in this segment offer, or donвЂ™t, the Volvo is extra. EPA Fuel Economy combined/city/highway: 32/29/37 (FWD) 42/43/41 (FWD Hybrid) mpgД®xcitement is important and the Volvo XC40 is like the guy at the party who showed up just to cannonball into the pool from the roof.Although itвЂ™s not the most spacious, the hybrid UX does offer the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy in the segment with a combined 42 mpg.

Every UX comes with a 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and wireless charging, but it still uses that funky touchpad controller that makes moving about the menus a chore. WeвЂ™d suggest the UX250h F Sport because of the fuel economy bump, all-wheel drive, and because the F Sport version has a sport-tuned suspension and better seats. The hybrid UX250h has 181 horsepower and all-wheel drive. UX200 models use a 169-hp inline-four with a CVT and are front-wheel-drive-only. But its plastic cladding, all-wheel drive, and hybrid drivetrain make it more than just a Toyota with LED lights and leather seats. It shares its underpinnings with the Toyota C-HR and uses a powertrain from the Corolla hatchback. The Lexus UX is a little bit of everything. EPA Fuel Economy combined/city/highway: 29/26/33 mpg (FWD).Interestingly, the Countryman at the bottom of this segment shares the same platform with the BMW X1 at the top, but the Mini has poor ride quality and its most fun version might be a little too rich for most. ThereвЂ™s even a plug-in hybrid Countryman SE with an EPA-estimated 73 MPGe. The Countryman S gets a turbocharged four-cylinder with 55 extra horsepower, but the quickest Mini weвЂ™ve ever tested is the 301-hp Countryman John Cooper Works All4 with a 4.4-second sprint to 60 mph. A 134-hp turbocharged three-cylinder and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic are standard, but all-wheel-drive models come with an eight-speed automatic instead. Plus, every Countryman now has taillights with the Union Jack design. The CountrymanвЂ™s improvements include a restyled front bumper with LED headlights, new wheels, and additional leather trim. The biggest Mini sold today received a bunch of updates for 2021.
