TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport takes the last part of its name very seriously, offering the best driving dynamics yet from the famed off-roading brand.

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne is no longer the only blasphemous off-roader in the Porsche family; this year, it gets improved powertrains and massaged looks in a familiar package.

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
