TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Audi S7 is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today, plus it packs serious performance and abundant high-tech equipment.

The 2016 Jaguar XJ balances extravagant looks with dazzling big-car performance.

Gorgeous exterior design
Elegant interior

A beautiful design like no other
Efficient supercharged V-6
Brash but comfortable XJR performance model
