TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Audi A7 and S7 are design standouts, refined performers, and more exciting, practical alternatives to sedans.

Refined, nimble, and a scorcher in R trim, the Jaguar XF's only remaining hurdle to greatness is back-seat space.

TCC Likes

Beautiful inside and out
Excellent seats
Rides like a lux sedan, handles like a touring coupe

Gorgeous sheetmetal
Absolutely fabulous cockpit
Great acceleration with V-6, V-8s

TCC Dislikes

Tight backseat space
Lacks steering feel
Low-sloping rear window restricts cargo

Rear seat head and leg room get slighted
Is it too stylish for the segment?
Stop/start system needs some taming
