Reviews SummaryWhat defines a “Sport Utility Vehicle”? Common knowledge dictates what an SUV is supposed to look like, but SUVs and crossovers don't hold a monopoly on the vehicular attribute of utility. Case in point: the station wagon. Truthfully, most modern crossovers are just high-riding wagons and hatchbacks. The only real advantages they offer are a higher ride height, higher seating position, and all-wheel drive (and even that isn’t always a given). Cars like the Nissan Kicks and Toyota C-HR are available with only front-wheel-drive, and when compared to a vehicle like the 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, you have to wonder what added utility those cars really offer. VW calls the SportWagen the “Sportier Utility Vehicle.” It's hard to argue with that point, and the SportWagen is a serious alternative to your typical crossover—especially if you care about driving dynamics. | |
Reviews SummaryDesigned, engineered, and built in Germany (by former General Motors brand Opel), the 2018 Buick Regal TourX is an all-wheel-drive station wagon styled to resemble an SUV. Appealing design, a turbocharged engine, enjoyable driving dynamics, advanced technology, and scads of utility characterize the TourX. But something is missing. | |
