Blending sport and utility like almost no other SUV, the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is impressive in any configuration. The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is offered in a quintet of models: SE, HSE, Supercharged, Autobiography, and SVR. Though its third-row seats are cramped and its prices are, as you might expect, as tall as its heritage, the Range Rover Sport rates an excellent 8.2 out of 10 overall.
Pros Serene and stately... ... but can perform when called upon, both on and off road Gorgeous interior "5+2" seating offers expanded utility
Cons Price climbs very, very fast "+2" seating is only for kids, only for very short trips We'll miss the HST
The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport ranks 11 out of 22 Luxury Midsize SUVs. The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport features five potent engine choices and phenomenal off-road chops, as well as sumptuous leather seats and an ostentatious interior. But it also suffers from a dreadful predicted reliability score and one of the smallest cargo areas in the class.
Pros Lavish interior with high-quality materials Five powerful engines to pick from Optional fuel-efficient turbodiesel engine Superb off-road abilities
Cons Some infotainment functions can be slow and frustrating to use Poor predicted reliability rating Limited cargo space for the class
For 2017, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport gets a handful of useful new features, including a 10.2-inch touchscreen control for its electronics.

Pros Stylish appearance Composed handling Powerful supercharged V8 Fuel-efficient diesel option Available seven-passenger seating True off-road capability.
Cons Third-row seat just for kids Unimpressive fuel economy with gasoline engines Modest cargo capacity.
Cadillac lightly updated the Escalade for 2020 with only a smattering of changes. Along with a new Dark Mocha metallic paint color, which costs extra, the lineup adds a new appearance package called the Sport Edition. The get-up is only available in Red Passion, Satin Steel, and Black Rave. However, that unlocks gloss-black trim to the front end, around the side windows, and on the rear. While we've glimpsed the interior of the next-gen model and spied a prototype testing, Cadillac hasn't officially revealed the upcoming 2021 Escalade.
Pros Everyone recognizes an Escalade, lots of standard luxuries, notable tow ratings.
Cons Rides like less-refined SUVs, interior isn't truly luxurious, meager fuel-economy estimates.
The 2020 Cadillac Escalade comes with rear wheel drive, and four wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 10-speed shiftable automatic.Last year's dual-screen rear entertainment system has been discontinued
PROS Strong V8 engine is never at a loss for power Robust towing capacity Cabin remains quiet regardless of road conditions
CONS Less refined ride and seat comfort than other luxury SUVs Low handling limits and heavy steering High, uneven cargo floor makes loading objects difficult
The 2020 Cadillac Escalade is ripe for a redesign, so check out rivals before making a call.
Pros In-your-face design V-8 thrust Comfortable interior Good towing ability
Cons Ride not as composed as rivals Curiously cramped for passengers So, so thirsty Too in-your-face for most
