TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Range Rover is the most advanced and luxurious model yet from Land Rover, combining modern styling and convenience with classic ruggedness and off-road prowess.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is basically a last-generation S-Class interior riding on one of the most off-road-worthy chassis out there; it makes almost no sense, which is why people seem to gravitate toward it.

TCC Likes

Familiar yet modern shape
Light aluminum structure
Strong supercharged engines

Great all-around visibility
Authentic SUV shape
Awe-inspiring off-road talent

TCC Dislikes

New design isn't that radical
Touchscreen interface lacks finesse
Off-road electronics take away some of the fun

Military-contractor prices
Gas mileage low, even for the class
Sits so high, it comes with its own steps
