TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has the most convincing answer to the sporty-SUV conundrum.

Yes, Porsche does make a family car, and this is it; the 2014 Cayenne runs the gamut from sporty errand mule to track-worthy sports SUV, with some interesting green options in between.

TCC Likes

Crisp styling blends Range Rover, Evoque
Rorty supercharged V-6, thundering supercharged V-8
Serene, stately cabin

Quick acceleration
Comfortable, sporty cabin
Capable handling

TCC Dislikes

Big jump from base to Autobiography
"+2" seating is only for kids, only for very short trips
No hybrid or diesel option--yet

Interior isn't so space-efficient
No third-row seating; smallish second row
Some may find V-6 underwhelming
