TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee blurs the SUV-crossover line expertly; better transmissions are at the top of the wish list.

The 2013 Porsche Cayenne spans a wide range of capabilities, from basic family hauler to track-worthy sports SUV, with a few stops in between--including a brand new diesel.

TCC Likes

Refined styling
Upscale, well-fitted cabin
All-wheel-drive options

Brisk acceleration
Comfortable, sporty cabin
Deft handling for its size

TCC Dislikes

Pretty design isn't punchy
V-6's somewhat boomy resonance
Can't wait for eight speeds

Less-than-efficient use of space
A small second row and no available third row
Base V-6 model underwhelms
