TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW X6 started the coupe-like SUV trend, and keeps above the fold with potent powertrains.

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a benchmark SUV; it's a luxury vehicle, a talented off-roader, a scalding-hot track runner, and a family wagon extraordinaire.

TCC Likes

Stylish body
V-8 is compelling in its performance
Functional rear seat

Premium look and feel
Responsive 8-speed automatics
SRT is fit for track time

TCC Dislikes

A $6,000 premium over the X5
Ride is a little harsh
Not an off-roader and not a super sedan

Quite pricey, to be without a luxury badge
Grille design still not in alignment
Hemi is too thirsty for what it provides
