The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
8.0
7.2
7.6

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2017 Audi Q7 gets a rakish new sport-wagon look, a finely detailed, tech-savvy interior, and serious chassis advancements underneath—including a dramatic weight loss, available rear-wheel steering, and a plug-in hybrid version. The 2017 BMW X5 boasts a solid set of powertrains and features that move the sedan toward the top of any list of luxury SUVs. An SUV or crossover that provides a better balance of capability than the 2017 Land Rover Discovery simply doesn't exist.
