TCC’s Bottom Line

Though the 2015 Audi Q7 might show a little of its age, there are so few faults here that it's hard not to love this big SUV.

The 2015 Land Rover LR4 is one of the few true SUVs left on the market; you'll value that if you're willing to trade off a little on-road nimbleness for uncompromised trail ability and top-notch interior comfort.

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

Rides and handles like a car
Seating for up to seven
Elegant exterior

Capable and tough off-road
Excellent comfort and driving position
Full-sized second row

Quick acceleration
Comfortable, sporty cabin
Capable handling

TCC Dislikes

Total cargo a little disappointing in such a large vehicle
Fuel efficiency isn't great in gasoline versions
It's heavy, and feels like it

Handles like an SUV (and it is one)
Still quite thirsty
Small third-row seats

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