TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Audi A4 offers big tech upgrades inside this year.

Don’t tell the 2020 Genesis G70 it’s new to the luxury sedan game, it’s a genuine contender already.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is as gorgeous inside as it is outside, and it has moves to match.

Strong engines with AWD

Great performance
Handsome interior

TCC Dislikes

Conservative style
Gets expensive
AWD guzzles fuel

Rear seats are cramped
V-6 is an expensive proposition
Stiff ride

Manual would be nice
Hefty pricetag
Rear-seat and cargo space just so-so
