TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 BMW X5 is a handsome, capable, tech-filled vehicle for the shopper who wants a luxury SUV.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade promises--and delivers--more of everything a full-size luxury SUV buyer could want.

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport takes the last part of its name very seriously, offering the best driving dynamics yet from the famed off-roading brand.

TCC Likes

Warm cabin trims
New Traffic Jam Assistant
Emphasis on handling, driving dynamics

Imposing looks
Vastly upgraded interior
New focus on technology and infotainment

Crisp styling blends Range Rover, Evoque
Rorty supercharged V-6, thundering supercharged V-8
Serene, stately cabin

TCC Dislikes

Overwrought front-end look
Still a very small third row
Can get very pricey with options

Still very large
Boldness can be taken for brashness by some
Close kin to the GMC Yukon

Big jump from base to Autobiography
"+2" seating is only for kids, only for very short trips
No hybrid or diesel option--yet
