TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 BMW X6 bends genres, in mostly successful ways; but whether you like it depends on what you're crossing over from.

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has the most convincing answer to the sporty-SUV conundrum.

For active families who need to tow a boat or occasionally head off-pavement–but don't need a third row–the 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML is an excellence vehicle choice.

TCC Likes

Coupe-like profile
Front-seat space and support
Smooth-shifting automatic gearbox

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

Quiet, comfortable ride
Strong, efficient BlueTec diesel
Extensive list of tech options

TCC Dislikes

Bulky, trucklike lower half
Tight backseat headroom
Options add to the price quickly

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

Conservative exterior
Indecisive shifts (Bluetec)
COMAND interface
