TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers an engine for everyone, and a feature list as extensive as those found in luxury sedans.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class doesn't crow about off-roading: it's more concerned with things like fuel economy and in the AMG, superhero acceleration.

TCC Likes

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

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

TCC Dislikes

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

Conservative exterior
Indecisive shifts (Bluetec)
COMAND interface
