Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Audi Q8 is a two-row SUV that radiates sportiness and luxuriousness.

Pros
Athletic enough to satisfy enthusiasts,
refined enough to coddle passengers,
great mix of luxury and technology.

Cons
Lower touchscreen can divert attention,
feels sluggish in city driving,
people-and-cargo room sacrificed to style.

Audi's big, aggressive Q8 is interesting and clever, with a side order of *whoa*

Pros
Interesting,
tech-laden SUV flagship that’s more practical and useful than it looks

Cons
It’s not exactly subtle. Or cheap

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Handsome interior with spacious seats
Composed ride and handling
Powerful available V8 engines
User-friendly infotainment system

Cons
Below-average cargo capacity
Subpar fuel economy
High price

Words such as sumptuous and lavish don’t properly illustrate how luxurious the palatial Mercedes-Maybach S-class truly is. Passengers can stretch out and relax on hot-stone-style massaging leather recliners and enjoy the Burmester audio system while an atomizer fills the cabin with one of Maybach’s five signature fragrances.

Pros
High-class cabin,
stretch-out rear seat,
seriously quick.

Cons
Self-driving features still need work,
still resembles an S-class too much.

By:

For 2018, the Maybach sedan receives freshened styling, more powerful high-beam headlights, the latest COMAND infotainment system, wireless charging for front and rear seats, and Mercedes' Energizing Comfort system.

PROS
Exceptionally comfortable and quiet
Outstanding rear-seat functionality and features
Chock full of standard safety features
Strong engines and brakes

CONS
Mercedes heritage might not be special enough
