Reviews SummaryIt’s been a while since BMW was the undisputed leader in midsize luxury sport sedans, and it’s tried to regain that title by concentrating on luxury more than sport lately. With the addition of the 530e to the 5 Series lineup, you can add frugality to the mix, because this new plug-in hybrid is the lowest-priced 5 Series you can get. | |
Reviews SummaryIn the $40,000 range, Audi meets your cargo-hauling needs in three different ways. There is the Audi Q5, which is an SUV. There is the Audi A4 Allroad, a station wagon wearing an SUV costume. And there is the new 2018 Audi A5 Sportback, a 5-door hatch blending style, performance, and utility in equal measure. | |
