TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Land Rover LR4 is one of the few true SUVs left on the market; you'll value that if you're willing to trade off a little on-road nimbleness for uncompromised trail ability and top-notch interior comfort.

The 2015 Nissan Xterra can go just about anywhere, and it won't clutter your decision with tons of options.

Excellent comfort and driving position

TCC Dislikes
