Reviews SummaryThe march of Xs rolls on and cannot stop, especially when it comes to the little BMW X1. Redesigned for 2016, the X1 arrives right as compact luxury SUV sales are surging. That might be good for BMW, but is this second-generation X1 worth your attention, now that it’s based on the company’s Mini platform? Of course it is—to a point. | |
Reviews SummaryThe NX 300h distinguished itself when it hit the scene in 2014 and has proven itself as a bestseller for Lexus. With controversial styling and a hybrid drivetrain, it manages to stand out in a very sparse segment, ostensibly competing with only the Audi Q5 Hybrid. But pokey acceleration, storage space that places it at the bottom of its class, and a high price point take away from its 5-star safety rating and impressive braking distance. | |
