If you’re in the market for a posh, family-friendly saloon, then this is just the video for you!
We’ve got our hands on the best, most luxurious mid-range saloons you can buy in 2023, and we’re about to find out which one is the best for you! Joining us for this video are the BMW 3 Series, Audi S4, Mercedes C-Class, Genesis G70 and the DS9.
Now we know what you’re thinking - the S4 costs loads more than the other cars here, and the DS9 is more of a competitor to the likes of the 5 Series and E-Class. That may be true, but the S4 is still largely similar in style & practicality to the other cars here, and as for the DS, once you add extras to these other cars, the price may be quite similar to the DS. So with that in mind, is it worth paying a bit extra and moving up a class?
Well, it’s time to find out! Mat’s going to put all these cars through a standard carwow review, covering their designs, interior, practicality, what they’re like to drive, and what engines are available. Oh, and of course, he’s going to launch them from 0-60mph!
So what’s your favourite car in this line-up? Let us know in the comments!

You know this will be a great video when you have more than 4 cars you are comparing against. How cool would it be to have a carwow car of the year award where you do a 3-part series showing a range of the top cars you have chosen and then decide who wins the crown after doing a series of tests and reviews for that year. Similar to how top gear do it but in carwow style.

What I don’t really appreciate about the Audi is that its interior looks like a 2015 launch edition 😅 nowadays it’s not only the engine, but the “brains” a car has. The series 3 comes with the feature to open and drive your car with only your watch and phone, while the Audi suffers to offers a decent sound system…. Go figure

Powerful headlights are very important here in the north (Finland) where there might be moose and deer crossing the roads regardless of the season. It would be helpful for viewers to include some kind of test regarding stock lights not only on Carwow but on reviews by other car channels as well (as smaller sized "designer headlights" are seemingly becoming more common) Fennoscandic car manufacturers Saab and Volvo used to take that safety aspect seriously some time ago. A nice group test, well done

It’s unfortunate you don’t have access to the best spec of the Genesis in the UK. I’m in Canada and bought a 2022 3.3 Litre, twin turbo G70 Sport AWD last year. It’s a great driving car, which is as much fun to drive as my Mercedes 1993 600SL. Granted, my Mercedes is an older car but it’s in mint condition and a great car to drive. The point is, the Genesis with the right spec is a really great car. Also, the collision control features you complained about being too sensitive are all adjustable. I drive pretty aggressively and never have a problem with the nannies in the car.

Be serious the Lexus ES or even a Toyota Camry are gonna wipe the floor with these things when it comes to efficiency, drive train and suspension. Toyota camry if you dont care about badges, Lexus if you do but want a decent car, and then just go german if "all" you care about is badge. These german cars are absolute mine fields, the major problem with them is, you could be lucky and never have anything go wrong, but they are not that reliable, so if something goes wrong will it be cheap? no! Take the c class plugin hybrid, that used to have the hatch for the electric charge point on the bumper. If you drove off with it plugged in by accident and knocked the hatch off, its a 1900 sterling parts bill alone. You might have to replace the whole blooming bumper.

@@mitchellsteindler Yup. Same with quite a few other brands. Our (US) least powerful setups start at 240-250 HP, pretty much always from some turbo 2.0L I4. We rarely get wagons, manuals, or diesels too. For Europe, all the extra taxes, shorter trips, more expensive gas, and often no place to put the foot down would possibly make me consider a sub-200 hp car though.

A4 😎 Know both pre-facelift and facelift car on my own and have to say it’s brillant. In right configuration looks posh and sporty, assembly and materials quality is best in class (I have 3 series g21 in family so comparison is direct) and with 2.0 tfsi 204 KM consumes adorably little fuel (average 7.5 / 100 km). Highly recommend this car, despite its 8th year on the market it’s still strong and appealing in class 😎

I hesitate between the S4 (but it is a DIESEL) and The BMW 320 . According to the laws in France i will ordered a BMW Touring with the Xdrive control. In France, severe limitation has started for old cars and especially DIESEL. Strating first january 2023, the limitation will became more and more severe each year. It is not realistic.

It is true answer if you have test them all, apart from the DS (haven’t test it myself) it is true when you really compare what you buy and what you pay for, the new 3 series is the one to go. (And that is also my answer for my wife) Said by a Mercedes fan (AMG owner) By the way, Volvo S60 are also tested it is no match in German competitors. And so does the Lexus IS.

Imo the A4 had the beter infotainment system, better build quality and more space. The C Class just didn't feel special, the interior was all shiny but didn't have the quality feel of the Audi. Thought it would've been better for the latest generation. I love the dash/ambient lighting though in the new C Class. I was buying a slightly used car so it wasn't a factory order meaning I couldn't configure it myself. The C Class I saw didn't even have rear folding seats, I mean I can't say much since my A4 doesn't have rear seatback pockets, or cupholders, but still.

As well as an extra set of wheels with proper winter tires on them for easy swaps once the cold and snowy times come. Literally nothing else comes to my mind on how to improve it for daily needs. Well, perhaps some proper steering feel/feedback, but that'd be way too much to ask for from BMW these days lol.
