Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

After a brief hiatus, the Audi RS7 is back and all new for 2020. Now incorporating Sportback into its name, the second-gen RS7 receives more distinctive styling inside and out along with even greater technology and increased power.

Pros
Aggressive appearance, tantalizing performance attributes, hatchback's added versatility.

Cons
Too expensive for most enthusiasts, same infotainment foibles as regular A7.

Among enthusiasts and car spotters, it's got hero status - now there's an all-new Audi RS7. It's faster, considerably meaner, and a bit greener too.

Pros
Lower and way more aggressive design that shares only four parts with A7
Huge 800Nm and its relentless all the way to 300km/h
Sublime comfort and ride with a beautifully poised chassis
Body roll is kept in check by both air suspension and dynamic ride control, high tech and superb materials quality
Properly fuel efficient
Super-smooth gearbox
Awesome noise

Cons
Seems its design can be polarising to some
Surely it can accelerate faster than the claim?
Pricing is likely to be steep

The Audi RS7 Sportback is an incredibly fast four-door coupe that'll give some supercars a run for their money. It looks great inside too, but alternatives are more involving to drive.

Pros
Gorgeous interior
Phenomenally fast
Bigger boot than alternatives

Cons
Expensive optional extras
Not particularly involving to drive
RS6 Avant is cheaper and more practical

The 2018 Ford Explorer ranked #9 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Ford Explorer has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 68 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Large cargo area behind third-row seat
Meaty twin-turbo V6 available
High predicted reliability rating

Cons
Seats aren't as comfy or roomy as some
Thirsty engines
Feels massive to drive

By: 
usnews.com

The Explorer receives only minor changes for 2018, with subtle styling tweaks at the front and rear, an integrated 4G LTE hotspot and revised feature availability.

PROS
Plenty of high-tech features that are easy to use
Optional turbocharged V6 engine delivers plentiful power
Cabin is quiet and comfortable on the highway
Cargo space is generous behind the third row

CONS
Legroom in the third row is subpar
Depending on trim level, feels big and ponderous from behind the wheel

By:

The 2018 Ford Explorer has pulled off a graceful transition from clumsy off-roader to genteel family wagon.

Pros
A utility player, in the classic sense
Very good handling
Better fuel economy ratings
Improved infotainment, now with 4G LTE
Lovely Sport tuning

Cons
The EPA’s optimistic with those turbo ratings
Platinum content, platinum prices
Second-row seat needs padding, less tilt
Third-row seat needs more of everything
