TCC’s Bottom Line

More practical and more elegant than the A6 sedan, the Audi A7 drives better than ever and takes on next-level technology.

Look beyond the evolutionary looks; the 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class has one heck of a hybrid powertrain.

TCC Dislikes

Succeeds an arresting shape
Tech-heavy cockpit can seem sterile
Audi makes little use of 48-volt system

Amounts to a pricey rear pillar
Still tight inside compared to an E-Class
Price skyrockets with options
