Reviews SummaryWith options quickly disappearing in the near-luxury large SUV segment, the GMC Yukon XL seems to deliver with a duo of powerful engines, a wealth of seating and storage, and 8,000 pounds of towing capacity. But manufacturing oversights and some competent competition mean you should strongly consider alternatives before making your decision. Before you discount the Yukon entirely, take a look at improvements that have been added to the 2016: a faster processor for its IntelliLink system, Apple CarPlay, and added safety features like lane-keep assist and auto high beams, plus SLT trims and above are now fitted with a hands-free power rear liftgate. | |
Reviews SummaryFor 2016, Acura gives its 5-passenger crossover SUV, the RDX, a thorough update, upgrading the powertrain, enhancing vehicle safety, installing new infotainment technologies, and more. To make sure people know that the RDX is new and improved, it gets freshened styling, too. Does this revamped RDX deserve consideration? Yes, if you’re open-minded enough. | |
