2024 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
Introduced in 2020

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The 2 Series Gran Coupe is decently quick and sporty enough to feel competent on a winding road. But around town, the ride is a bit too stiff, especially on rough pavement. It's also a bit pricey for an entry-level luxury sedan. But if cargo room is important to you, the 2 Series Gran Coupe does that better than most of its competition. Read full review

Redesigned in 2017

Audi A4

Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The A4 offers a compelling blend of refinement and interior quality for the price. Look elsewhere if you need a sport sedan that'll get your heart pumping, but for across-the-board excellence at a fair price, the A4 remains tough to top. Read full review

2024 BMW 3 Series
Redesigned in 2019

BMW 3 Series

Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The BMW 3 Series is powerful and boldly designed, but it misses its mark in a few areas. Other players have made larger strides in regards to technology. Unfortunately, "benchmark" is no longer one of the descriptors that come to mind. Read full review

2024 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
Redesigned in 2022

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Edmunds Rating
7.7/10
The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe's looks may not be for everyone, but its build quality, comfortable ride, and enjoyable driving dynamics are hard to fault. The base engine is a little lackluster, but we wouldn't be surprised if some buyers chose this version over the stalwart 3 Series. Read full review

2024 Genesis G70
Introduced in 2019

Genesis G70

Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
The Genesis G70 has matured into one of the more elegant-looking small luxury sedans. It delivers excellent value, a comfortable interior, and a good set of standard advanced driver aids. However, a tight back seat, a tiny trunk and subpar fuel economy keep the G70 from attaining true greatness. Read full review

2024 Acura Integra
Redesigned in 2023

Acura Integra

Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
The reborn Integra is roomy and gets high fuel economy. But it's less refined than its direct rivals and too similar to the related Honda Civic Si, which retails for thousands less. Overall it's hard to find much about this Acura that distinguishes it from the pack. Read full review

2024 INFINITI Q50
Redesigned in 2014

INFINITI Q50

Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
The Q50 isn't as polished as its German competition, and its dated cabin and tech won't wow many people. Its strength lies solely in its powerful turbo engines, particularly the Red Sport trim. Read full review

2024 Audi A7
Redesigned in 2019

Audi A7

Edmunds Rating
8.1/10
You'll be drawn to the Audi A7's clean, chiseled exterior, but it's the versatile hatchback cargo area, refined performance and exquisite interior craftsmanship that will likely win you over.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

2024 Cadillac CT5
Introduced in 2020

Cadillac CT5

Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The Cadillac CT5 replaces the CTS as the Detroit-based automaker's midsize luxury sedan. It's handsome and packs a ton of features for far less money than what you'll find coming out of Germany. But the CT5 can't match its European rivals in terms of performance, comfort, or build quality. Read full review

Acura TLX

Edmunds Rating

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Edmunds Rating

When it comes to comfort and refinement on four wheels, it really doesn't get much better than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
