TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 BMW M5 sedan is a high-performance luxury car without compromise and few rivals.

The 2019 Cadillac XTS feels purpose-built as an executive chauffeur’s chariot but provides a comfortable and pleasant ride from any seat.

TCC Likes

Outstanding performance
Big enough for four adults
Sharper looking this time around

Plenty of space, front and rear
Strong performance, especially in V-Sport trims
Solid, comfortable ride

TCC Dislikes

Incredibly high price
Doesn’t look good in some darker tones
Dizzying array of programmable settings

Most safety features and driver aids are optional
Options and trim upgrades drive the price up—fast
Capacitive buttons sometimes confusing to use
