TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 Jaguar XF covers a broad range of needs, from the efficient 2.0-liter turbo model, to the over-the-top XFR-S performance sedan.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class looks better than ever, offers upgraded tech and safety, and continues to post impressive performance.

TCC Likes

Gorgeous exterior
Fabulous, luxurious cabin
Strong acceleration

Fresh design
Potent, capable V-6 and V-8 engines
Incredible handling and performance in AMG trim

TCC Dislikes

Compromised backseat headroom (and legroom)
V-6 isn't as mellow as the V-8s
Stop/start system needs some taming (four and V-6)

Rear-seat head room still tight
High price tag
COMAND is what it is
