NEW BMW 5 SERIES V E-CLASS V A6: WHICH IS BEST?

EV Channels Review

This comparison review pits the new BMW 5 Series against the Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6, evaluating them across design, interior, technology, and driving dynamics. The BMW 520i, while a competent all-rounder with a well-finished interior and a good infotainment system, is let down by vague steering and a less playful chassis than expected from a BMW. The Mercedes E-Class impresses with its luxurious interior and smooth ride, but its braking feel is described as 'squishy' due to the hybrid system, and its advanced tech can be overly intrusive. The Audi A6, despite being the oldest, stands out for its sharp handling, responsive steering, and overall capability, making it a surprisingly strong contender. Ultimately, the reviewer leans towards the BMW 5 Series as the winner for its balanced approach and modern feel, though acknowledges the Audi A6 offers excellent value and driving engagement.
