TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Audi A8 plots out the course for next-level self-driving cars, and utilizes other technology to advance its luxury and connectivity.

The 2019 Jaguar XJ echoes British luxury sedans of yore, with big supercharged engines, a somewhat gaudy interior, and loads of elegant style.

TCC Dislikes

Only one engine so far

V-8 doesn’t provide big performance bump
