TCC’s Bottom Line

Few vehicles match the 2017 Range Rover's luxury and performance on pavement; fewer still can keep up with it when the pavement ends.

A Mercedes-Benz G-Class isn't a logical buy, but that's just why it has endured so long. Not everyone wants an economical sedan, after all.

The 2017 Tesla Model X is in a class of its own as an all-electric luxury SUV with breathtaking performance, and an equally intimidating price.

TCC Likes

Stunning accommodations for all
Stellar ride, handling, and performance
Wide range of engine choices

Authentic design and heritage
Stellar off road
Luxuriously updated inside

Amazing performance from an SUV
Remarkable efficiency
Massive 17-inch touchscreen

TCC Dislikes

Touchscreen interface lacks finesse
Perhaps too easy to drive off road
Shockingly expensive when loaded up

You could buy a fleet of Jeep Wranglers for this money
Dated in every possible way
Sits so high, it comes with its own steps

The falcon doors are terrible
Six figures isn't much of a stretch
Minimalist cabin
