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 SummaryIn terms of styling and design, comfort and controls, safety and technology, value and practicality, and driving dynamics, the 2017 Kia Sorento is one of the best vehicles in its segment. Plus, it's engineered to exceed the requirements of the most demanding warranty coverage in the business. No wonder, then, that I recommend the Sorento to anyone willing to listen. | |
