TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Audi Q5 remains one of the most elegant, truly car-like crossovers on the market.

Sports car driving dynamics, coupe-like looks, and full-on luxury car appointments all find their way into the 2015 Infiniti QX70.

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne is no longer the only blasphemous off-roader in the Porsche family; this year, it gets improved powertrains and massaged looks in a familiar package.

TCC Likes

Lots of drivetrain choices, all good
A lesson in good taste
Quick shifts from the eight-speed

Frisky powertrains
Technology in full force
Good navigation interface

Quick acceleration
Comfortable, sporty cabin
Capable handling

TCC Dislikes

Still no standard rearview camera
Gas mileage isn't stellar on gas-only models
We're not sold by Drive Select's adaptive controls

Back seat slights head, leg room
Too many buttons for some
Poor gas mileage

Interior isn't so space-efficient
No third-row seating; smallish second row
Some may find V-6 underwhelming
