We sifted through the data to select the best cars and trucks in every category.

Overview

The Karma Revero GT sedan takes two seemingly opposed concepts --environmental sustainability and over-the-top luxury -- and blends them in an attractive, unique car. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain can run up to 80 miles without a drop of gas. The solar roof offers extra driving range on sunny days. Karmas are crafted in California, providing a lavish feel with sustainably-sourced materials, minimally colored leathers, and haptic-touch screens. The Karma Revero GT is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Sedan, which starts at $146,600 and comes with a Plug-In Hybrid 1.5L I3 Turbo engine and Rear Wheel Drive. This Revero GT is estimated to deliver 70 MPG combined.

Pros

  • Powerful and versatile drivetrain accelerates fast
  • Luxurious cabin celebrates sustainable materials
  • One of the rarest and most exclusive new cars

Cons

  • Higher starting price than many luxury vehicles
  • Lacks rivals’ electric range and driver technology
  • Small rear seat for a premium full-size sedan

Overall Assessment

Karma has always forged its own path when it comes to building cars. This has led the California automaker to produce some of the most exciting vehicles on the market. The Karma Revero GT is the latest iteration of the brand’s unique approach. Its emphasis on sustainability shows in its alternative-fuel driving capabilities and carefully-sourced cabin materials. Buyers can configure their Revero GT to their specifications, guaranteeing that their already-rare car is one-of-a-kind. There are some less appealing aspects in Karma’s efforts to be the ultimate eco-luxury car, like the marginal rear seat and cargo room. Some modern electric sedans can beat the Karma’s driving range without a gas engine’s help. But Karma continues its quest of catering to a select audience of people who want a captivating and unique driving experience unlike anything else.

Overview

The S8 is hard to differentiate from the A8 from the outside, making it one of the stealthiest performance cars available. The Audi S8 is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 1 trim levels. The most popular style is the Sedan, which starts at $131,945 and comes with a 4.0L V8 Twin-Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive.

  • Timeless styling inside and out
  • Great acceleration and handling
  • Generous standard features list
  • Audi's trademark craftsmanship

Cons

  • Not as economical as rivals
  • High starting price

It provides similar luxury and comfort to other ultra-luxury cars, but it sprinkles in race-inspired components and vast power to make it as pleasurable to drive as it is to ride in. Some competitors are more fuel-efficient and have more over-the-top amenities. But for timeless styling, grand luxury, and stealthy performance, few can match the S8.

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the German luxury automaker's midsize car, and it's one of the most popular in its category. The E-Class has a refined ride, a quiet cabin, cutting-edge technology, and numerous options. It's available as a sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible, with all-wheel-drive and high-performance variants available. Even among its competitive segment, the E-Class remains a virtually unrivaled blend of comfort and elegance. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 4 trim levels. The most popular style is the AMG E 63 S Sedan 4MATIC+, which starts at $108,550 and comes with a 4.0L V8 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive. This E-Class is estimated to deliver 16 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Blends nimble handling with a luxurious ride
  • Spacious, quiet interior packed with technology
  • Available AMG powertrains are fun to drive
  • Sleek two-door choices, plus a practical wagon

Cons

  • Pricey options quickly raise already-lofty MSRP
  • Base engine lacks competitors' sportiness
  • Mild-hybrid doesn't much improve efficiency

Overall Assessment

Luxury shoppers look for vehicles that feel a cut or two above the best non-luxury cars, and the E-Class delivers. It has a far softer and smoother ride than the average family sedan, even feeling more refined than comparably-priced rivals. Mercedes-Benz borrowed liberally from the ultra-luxury S-Class in designing the midsize E-Class, making it feel more like a smaller flagship than a compromise. Standard amenities like a digital gauge cluster, smartphone apps, and heated front seats come standard, while upper trims offer glitzier options. Driver safety technology comes standard; an available package allows the E-Class to all but drive itself on the highway. Some rivals have lower starting prices and sharper handling, but few can match the E-Class as an opulent everyday driver.

Overview

The BMW 7-series is the largest and most pampering sedan in the German luxury brand’s lineup. It trades in the enthusiastic speed and handling of smaller BMW cars for a soft, quiet ride and smooth powertrain choices, including hybrid and V12 options.

Overview

In the arena of high-end sports cars, few so successfully combine fun driving dynamics with plush comfort as the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. A range of powerful engines and sport-tuned handling give the AMG GT impressive speed, yet it is refined enough at low speeds to drive daily, and the plush cabin is quiet and packed with modern technology. Some rivals are slightly sharper track machines, but few are as stylish or practical in real-world scenarios. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 8 trim levels. The most popular style is the AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe, which starts at $162,950 and comes with a 4.0L V8 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive. This AMG GT is estimated to deliver 16 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.

Pros

  • Tons of style and performance
  • Sharp handling balanced by ride comfort
  • Posh interior
  • Comfortable enough to drive daily

Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Some rivals are quicker
  • The sedan is quite large

Overall Assessment

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is a sports car for the modern age, offering drivers a range of body styles and high-power engines to meet their performance needs. Its available twin-turbocharged V8 is one of the most impressive in its class, and passersby will be struck by the coupe and convertibles' gorgeous style. The sedan offers practicality and interior roominess rarely seen in a performance vehicle, and Mercedes-Benz includes advanced safety equipment to make it a perfectly sensible daily commuter. Cabin amenities are impressive, with standard heated seats, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Mercedes' great infotainment system. There are a few downsides -- upper trims are costly, and rivals have sharper handling and swifter acceleration. But, for drivers who want exotic style and excitement in a luxury wrapper, the AMG GT is a hard-to-beat proposition.

Overview

The BMW M5 is surely one of the most capable sports sedans ever made. It has all of the luxury of the midsize BMW 5-Series it's based on, plus a twin-turbo V8 engine and cutting-edge technology to make it unbelievably fast and agile. A clever all-wheel-drive system lets the driver switch to rear-wheel mode for classic cornering dynamics. Comfort mode turns the M5 into a plush and tranquil luxury cruiser to coincide with its subtle exterior. The BMW M5 is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 2 trim levels. The most popular style is the CS Sedan, which starts at $142,995 and comes with a 4.4L V8 Turbo engine and All Wheel Drive.

Pros

  • Fantastic speed and handling
  • Clever all-wheel-drive system
  • Spacious and plush cabin
  • Impressive craftsmanship

Cons

  • Not very fuel-efficient
  • Rivals look more exciting
  • Smaller BMWs are more agile

Overall Assessment

The BMW M5 remains one of the most desirable sports sedans on the market, thanks to its impressive blend of power, speed, and luxury. Its engine and transmission work in sync to provide instant thrills, and the M driving mode selector can change the experience from sporty to pampering at the touch of a button. This dual nature makes the M5 a great car, equally comfortable coddling passengers or putting down laps at the track. Driver-assistance features come standard to help you stay out of harm's way, while available semi-autonomous tech virtually lets the vehicle drive itself. Some will prefer the glamorous styling of the M5's rivals, but few cars on the market offer such pure driving pleasure in a package this elegant and practical.

Overview

Italian cars are famously stylish and fun to drive, and the Maserati Quattroporte delivers these desirable traits in a full-size luxury sedan. Its sleek four-door body finds inspiration in classic cars of the past, with two available twin-turbo engines providing quick acceleration.

Overview

Porsche's first all-electric car, the Porsche Taycan, provides remarkable, sports car-like performance, instant acceleration, and a luxurious cabin. Other EVs are more affordable and can travel longer distances between charges, but they don't have the Porsche's panache. The Porsche Taycan is a 4-seater vehicle that comes in 5 trim levels. The most popular style is the 4S AWD, which starts at $105,150 and comes with an Electric engine and All Wheel Drive. This Taycan is estimated to deliver 79 MPGe in the city and 80 MPGe on the highway.

Configure a new car

Pros

  • Exceptional performance
  • Quiet cabin
  • Fast charging

Cons

  • Shorter range than some rivals
  • No Android Auto

Overall Assessment

When Porsche launched the all-electric Taycan last year, it showed the world all that an EV can be. The sleek executive sedan delivers the German sports car brand's trademark performance without scrimping on comfort or luxury. At 200 miles, its range might not get you from New York City to Boston, but its rapid recharging time boosts its practicality as a road tripper. Generously sized with a sleek control panel and long list of safety features, the Taycan lacks Android Auto but has plenty of performance metrics to keep you occupied. Starting at just over $80,000, the Taycan is on par with the Tesla Model S, its top competitor. But each trim ratchets up the price another $50,000, and a fully loaded Taycan tops out north of $235,000, making it an expensive proposition. If cost is no object, you'll love this exciting car, whether going green is a priority or not.

  • Meticulous attention to detail
  • Fantastic array of personalization options

Cons

  • Lofty price tag spirals with options
  • Optional safety aids should be standard

Overall Assessment

Simply put, few cars are as luxurious as the Bentley Flying Spur. From its sleek 2.75-ton body to the smallest of interior details, everything about it seems painstakingly designed—Bentley's engineers at their factory in Britain hand-craft nearly every piece of the vehicle. The company encourages buyers to select from a wide range of materials to exceed their expectations. The Flying Spur has a large and plush passenger compartment, and every vehicular convenience is within easy reach. Under the surface, a sophisticated W12 powertrain provides rapid acceleration and an engaging road demeanor. It is expensive, and some of its optional driver-assistance technologies should come standard. But in the pantheon of ultra-premium cars, the Flying Spur is one of the best of the best.

Overview

At the pinnacle of on-road luxury stands perhaps a handful of cars, and the Bentley Mulsanne is one of them. The $300,000-plus sedan is one of the few cars still being built mainly by hand. Its cabin comes lined in leather and wood befitting the world's finest furniture, with modern technology seamlessly integrated just under the surface, there to help without disrupting the tranquil atmosphere. A twin-turbo V8 shuttles passengers along briskly. The Bentley Mulsanne is a 5-seater vehicle that comes in 2 trim levels. The most popular style is the Sedan, which starts at $313,525 and comes with a 6.8L V8 Turbo engine and Rear Wheel Drive. This Mulsanne is estimated to deliver 10 MPG in the city and 16 MPG on the highway.

Pros

  • Virtually unmatched in exclusivity and prestige
  • Bespoke artisanship with cutting-edge technology
  • Library-quiet cabin with a cloud-like ride
  • Configurable to each customer's exact desires

Cons

  • Some competitors have more interior space
  • A few advanced safety features are optional
  • Mediocre fuel economy, even for its class

Overall Assessment

Few cars can match the sheer luxury and curb appeal of the Bentley Mulsanne, a limo built to be driven or chauffeured, an immense twin-turbo V8 putting smooth, seemingly-endless torque at one's fingertips. The Mulsanne's adaptive air suspension adjusts to the smallest road imperfections, pampering passengers with a quiet and serene ride. The cabin itself has stately styling and top-notch material quality. Mostly crafted by hand, the interior comes with the finest leather, and shoppers can configure their vehicle with innumerable paint and equipment options. The Mulsanne's massive engine isn't economical, and some rivals have more modern-looking styling. But for those who place traditional, artisanal luxury ahead of glitzy technology and computerization, the Bentley Mulsanne may be one of the best cars on earth.
