TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Audi A5 and S5 thrill drivers with a beautiful shape and sublime-to-ferocious performance.

The refreshed 2022 Stinger upgrades with the latest technology, but the new base powertrain is a letdown.

The 2022 VW Arteon is a good choice for those who want luxury trappings at a lower price, without compromising on cargo or passenger room.
