TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class delivers effortless power, sublime handling, scads of safety features, and the incontrovertible impression of wealth, tastefully applied.

TCC Likes

Elegant looks
Old-money interior
Impressive standard features

Forceful, smooth powertrains
A true first-class seating experience
Attention to the finest details

TCC Dislikes

Cramped compared to competition
No electrified option
V-8 doesn’t provide big performance bump

Complex infotainment
The Maybach’s less distinct than in the past
Why not pay more?
