Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe belongs to the contemporary set of sloped-roof four-doors, combining the sporty look of a luxury coupe with the convenience of a sedan. Apple CarPlay support is now included.Based on the fourth 6 Series generation introduced for 2017.

Pros
Scintillating power and acceleration from the turbocharged V8 engine
All-wheel drive provides sure-footed traction
Lavishly trimmed and equipped interior
More exclusive than BMW M models

Cons
Coupe shape compromises backseat accommodations
Some may find the styling enhancements too subtle for the price tag
Subscription-based Apple CarPlay support

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.

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

Composed ride and handling
Powerful available V8 engines
