TCC’s Bottom Line

The uniform may be military-grade, but the GMC Terrain's softer side shows up in its excellent four-cylinder gas mileage and Denali luxury.

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee adds great turbodiesel fuel economy to a resume already blushing with talent.

TCC Likes

HUMMER-like styling
Very good gas mileage (four-cylinder)
Improved ride and handling

Looks far more expensive than it is
Eight-speed automatics all over the place
Ecodiesel's 30-mpg rating, 730-mile range

TCC Dislikes

Looks intense, doesn't it?
A leftover plastic trim bit or two
Easy to spend $40,000

What's with that wan little grille?
Almost every version's over $30k
HEMI seems somewhat pointless now
