Best in class9/10Mercedes-BenzS-Class£74,480 – £181,055Rivals are closer than ever, but S-Class remains our favourite luxo-barge. For now
8/10AudiS8 £70,785 – £104,590Screw ‘high-performance’ SUVs. Get one of these instead, and pretend you’re a Parisian assassin
8/10LexusLC£75,960 – £90,130Bold and beautiful: the Lexus LC is the maddest Lexus since the LFA, and backs it up with impressive dynamics for a heavy car… so long as you buy the V8, not the hybrid.
