The Mercedes Benz E-Class is a mid-sized luxury car, and competes with Audi's A6, BMW's 5-Series and the Lexus GS. All offer plenty of space, with an array of powerful engines, but none offer the kind of refinement, ease of operation, or model variety of the E-Class. The E-Class also offers great fuel economy for a luxury vehicle, making do (in E350 guise) with a turbocharged 4-cylinder while most of its competitors use bigger and thirstier engines. While the engine in the E350 is small, thanks to turbocharging and an advanced transmission, acceleration remains competitive.

2020 Volvo S60
The Volvo S60 is aimed pretty squarely at the BMW 3-series and the Audi A4 in the premium mid-sized car segment. The S60 is priced very competitively with those cars. The V60 offers more standard features but costs a bit more than the sedan. In addition, Volvo offers a "Cross Country" version of the V60 wagon, with more suspension travel, a higher ride height and more crossover-like styling details. And even though it's the most expensive model of the lot, the V60 Cross Country still offers pretty good value when compared to other similarly sized crossovers on the market.

2020 Cadillac CT4
The CT4 holds legitimate appeal as a solid entry-luxury compact car in a class with established rivals in this German-dominated segment. The CT4's key rivals include the Audi A3, BMW 2-series Gran Coupe, and the Mercedes Benz A-class. The vital difference between the CT4 versus its German counterparts is the rear-wheel drive platform, which provides the CT4 with a more genuinely sporty feel from the get-go compared to the basic front-wheel drive chassis arrangements found in the competition.
