TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Audi Q5 soldiers on with good space and carlike handling; it's still one of the better luxury SUVs, despite its age.

Although it's not a working implement like the classic Land Rover Discovery, the quirky Discovery Sport has plenty of merits up against rivals in the entry-level luxury class.

TCC Likes

Enthusiastic base engine
Simple styling
8-speed automatic is quick

Comfortable, quiet ride
Roomy interior for five
Decently off-road capable

TCC Dislikes

Gas mileage isn't class leading
Still a top-heavy crossover
Easy to spend more than $50,000

Too softly styled for a Land Rover?
Third-row seat is a tease
Active safety features are optional
