2024 Acura Integra.
Positives.
Sleek exterior design. Class-leading rear-seat and cargo space. Offers the only six-speed manual transmission in its class.
Considerations.
Similar package and performance as more affordable Honda Civic models. Not as quick as some rivals. No all-wheel-drive option.
2023 Mercedes Benz EQS Sedan.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan is a visual stunner, turning heads on every street. This is the very first in what promises to be a long line of Mercede-Benz EQ fully electric vehicles. An SUV version is coming later this year.
The handsomely styled, five-passenger Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 Sedan provides a competitive 350 miles of electric range and a smooth drive experience but stops short of being a true electric [S-Class](/mercedes-benz/s-class/) sedan in terms of luxury fitments and comfort.
The 329-horsepower EQS 450+ is the base model, but it’s the one with the best range: 350 miles. Though the more expensive and more powerful EQS 580 is quicker, the 450+ offers the same roomy interior, smart hatchback design, and an impressive optional 56-inch-wide Hyperscreen. For those who yearn for extra power, the EQS 580 certainly won’t disappoint, considering it packs 516 hp and standard all-wheel drive.
2023 Audi RS 7.
Positives.
Phenomenal power from the standard V8 engine. Handles well for a sedan of its size. Luxurious cabin with distinctive details. Useful cargo area.
Considerations.
Not as agile as some direct competitors. Dismal fuel economy.
Don't let the four-door hatchback design fool you. The Audi RS 7 Sportback is an exceptionally powerful performance car with handling to match. It's also comfortable enough to drive every day and surprisingly practical for a car with its capabilities.
2023 Audi S7.
The Audi S7 is the high-performance variant of the A7, a midsize luxury sedan with expressive styling and abundant trunk space. It's similar to the A7 but adds upgrades designed to heighten the driving experience. It gets a more powerful engine and comes with larger wheels for sportier handling. The S7 performance sedan offers livable utility, providing more cargo space than the competing Mercedes-Benz CLS. And it's hard to resist the S7's sculpted sheet metal and elegant cabin.
The Audi S7 is a blast to drive and comfortable enough to be a pleasant commuter car. It's also one of the roomiest picks in its class for cargo space.
Positives.
Handling is athletic yet forgiving. Opulent cabin and sleek exterior. Excellent trunk space.
Considerations.
Sloping roofline reduces rear headroom. Some competitors have more powerful engines.
2024 Audi A5.
You almost forget how good-looking a car can be until you see a vehicle like the 2024 Audi A5. It is especially attractive in its coupe and convertible versions, and the Sportback makes its four-door shape look positively swoopy. Each of these desirable shapes is wrapped around high-tech mechanicals and tastefully crafted interiors. Yes, the various A5 models have been on the market for several years now. And yes, there are rumors that an all-new A5 is on the horizon. But, for style and luxury at a price under $50K, the Audi A5 is a great option. Though the A5 comes in three body styles, all use the same all-wheel-drive quattro powertrain with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine providing the power. The chassis and suspension provide a combination of Euro-style handling and ride comfort. The acceleration is exhilarating, and the A5's quick steering and precision braking provide all-around driving dynamics that crossover SUVs just can't match. Occupants will find themselves in an artfully simple cabin filled with upscale materials like real wood and genuine leather.
2024 Audi S5.
Positives.
Potent turbo V6 engine. Agile handling. Sophisticated and high-tech cabin. Advanced safety features are standard.
Considerations.
Some rivals are more engaging to drive. Limited rear-seat legroom.
The Audi S5 is a luxurious German coupe, convertible, and four-door Sportback, delivering impressive performance and timeless styling at a reasonable starting price. All-wheel drive, heated seats, and tri-zone climate control come standard, making the Audi S5 a superb daily driver in any season.
2024 Audi RS 5.
Positives.
Rapid acceleration and tenacious handling. Elegant, feature-filled interior. Drivable year-round. More practical than most high-end sports cars.
Considerations.
Limited rear-seat space. High starting price. Some rivals are more visceral to drive.
The Audi RS 5 is the latest in a long line of fun-to-drive and hyper-capable German sedans. Sharing the same fastback sedan and coupe body style options as the Audi A5 it shares a platform with, the RS 5 is powered by a far more potent twin-turbo V6 creating 444 horsepower. Matched with an adaptive suspension and Audi's dependable Quattro AWD system, the RS 5 is fast, nimble, and all-season practical.
