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 GL-Class offers the most Mercedes luxury to the most people, with a pleasant ride and easy driving dynamics to boot.

TCC Likes

Familiar yet modern shape
Light aluminum structure
Strong supercharged engines

Interior is spacious, flexible
Wide range of powertrains
Still looks rugged

TCC Dislikes

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

More all-weather than off-road
V-8 versions' fuel economy
Difficult COMAND system
