TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Jaguar XF may be made of aluminum, but it's no lightweight anymore in rear-seat space or nimble handling.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers elegant comfort and luxury in several flavors, with a thrifty diesel and a high-performance V-8 for those at either end of the spectrum.

TCC Likes

Keeps the pretty coming
Interior-space gains
New supercharged powertrains, with diesel on the way

Any body you want
Fab cabin
...with lots of room

TCC Dislikes

Manual transmission on hold
Diesel, gas turbo four on six-month wait
Maybe less distinctive than before

Busy angularity works on coupe, less so on sedan
COMAND's futzy interface
Some button clutter on the console
