Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon is a style statement with an added dose of practicality.

Pros
Slippery shape
Expansive cargo room
Good pep
Great warranty

Cons
Questionable value
Dismal fuel economy
Light on driving flair
So-so interior

Billed as the "spiritual successor" to the departed CC sedan, the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon arrives on our shores just in time to witness the demise of its species. We're exaggerating, but the buying public's love affair with the crossover shows no sign of abating anytime soon and we admire VW for staying the course with the Arteon, which is positioned as the brand's flagship vehicle in the States. It's Volkswagen's belief that the Arteon's sleek exterior, curated feature content, and German-built pedigree will appeal to traditional-sedan customers who desire a touch of exclusivity and luxury without drawing too much attention to themselves.

All-new vehicle for 2019.Launches the first Arteon generation.

Pros
Sleek design
Extensive available technology and luxury features
Powerful standard motor

Cons
High starting price

As German luxury automakers slice and dice traditional market segments, it's fair to say the 2019 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is in a class of one. The 4 Series is essentially a coupe/convertible version of the ubiquitous 3 Series sedan, and the Gran Coupe further complicates the naming scheme by being a four-door variant of the 4 Series.

Pros
Hatchback body style makes it easy to load cargo
Stout performance with either engine
Upscale interior with easy-to-use controls
Well-balanced ride and handling

Cons
Available only with an automatic transmission
Less cargo space than closest hatchback competitors
Heavier and costlier than similar sedan competitors
Less backseat headroom than in the 3 Series sedan

By:

The 2019 BMW 4-Series ranked #7 in Luxury Small Cars. Currently the BMW 4-Series has a score of 8.7 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 34 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Thrilling, responsive handling
Muscular optional engine
Above-average cargo space

Cons
Tight rear headroom

By:

The 2019 BMW 4-Series distills our favorite parts from the related 3-Series and packages them in a better shape.

Pros
Impressive powertrains, all of them
Good looks from all body styles
Standard automatic emergency braking
Bigger infotainment screen this year
Gran Coupe is especially attractive

Cons
More for Apple CarPlay after first year
Small-ish rear seat
Interior can be a little dull
Leather isn’t standard
