The 2016 Audi A7 has much to offer, but so does the competition.
BMW's 6-series offers a Gran Coupe, much like the Mercedes-Benz CLS Class, and each offers a broad range of power and luxury options, though each is more an acquired taste than the almost universally appealing A7.
Porsche's Panamera is even sportier to drive, offers a slightly roomier rear seat, and is luxurious throughout the cabin; it has only its awkward exterior working against it.
The Jaguar XF has a different, but equally attractive, take on exterior styling, and offers impressive power and good dynamics, too, but is only available as a traditional sedan.

The 2016 Porsche Panamera looks like a sports car and drives like one, yet it delivers executive-level ride comfort and cabin appointments. |
