VOLVO S80 The S80 is the oldest car here and that is visible in its traditional
design. Its conservative , but does have an understatedelegance about it. The clearly defined V on the bonnet looks
great and the broad-shouldered stance gives the S80 a good
presence.
The S80s D3 motor is nicely refined and you won
t notice any of
the vibrations.

AUDI A6
The A6 is the longest and widest car here. Details like the tightly
cut grille, sweeping roof and elongated taillights work to give the A6
its distinct design. Its a pity the brilliantly detailed full-LED
headlamps cost a whopping Rs 2.79 lakh extra.

overall design is nothing short of class.

MERCEDES E220
The E-class quartet of headlamps have been carried over and
adapted from the W210 model, meaning you can identify the car
from a mile away. However, the tipped-forward stance makes the
big E look athletic. Mercedes still somehow manages to look the
most elegant here.

BMW 520D
The kidney shaped grille, ringed lights, kinked
headlamps and L-shaped taillight are traditional BMW
cues on the latest 5-series. It may make it look like a
shrunken 7-series, but by no means is that a bad thing.

Unity in diversity
The Audi, BMW and Mercedes place their in-line four-cylinder diesel engines and like all other Volvos, the S80
mounts its in-line five-cylinder motor transversely.
Volvo claims this arrangement is the safest in a crash.
There is no Quattro hardware on this A6, so all the
power is sent to the front wheels, just as on the Volvo.
Its the Mercedes and BMW that stick to the traditional
front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.

COMFORT CLASS
The Volvos suspension does clunk over bumps butmanages to do a good job of filtering out surfaceimperfections, at least at low speeds. But as you go fasterthe Volvo wallows and the up-and-down movement, though
smooth, takes away from the whole experience.
The BMW bobs a fair bit too and this only increases withspeed. To its credit, the 520d boasts an excellent low-speedride. It smoothens out surface imperfections with ease and
thats despite the disadvantage of the stiff sidewalls of itsrun-flat tyres.

Surprisingly, it is the Mercedes that feels the stiffest at slow
speeds. However, up the pace and the E-class comes intoits own. The ride becomes utterly flat and the suspension
goes about its business with minimal noise.
Set the Audis air suspension to Comfort and it will
steamroll all but the sharpest bumps, and its on these
where you can feel the Audis light aluminum body shudder.
In the sportier Dynamic mode, the ride becomes flat and
that makes it better suited to highway use.

DECISION TIME
Viewed in isolation, the Volvo makes a compelling case for
itself. Unfortunately, when benchmarked against the best, the
S80 does not shine in any particular area, which is why you
wouldnt mind paying the extra few lakhs to buy into the more
premium brands here.
The BMW 5-series has much strength. Chief among these are
its well-built cabin, fantastic engine-gearbox combination and an
engaging drive. But for all its positives, the BMW doesn t feel all
that spacious in the back and thats where most owners arelikely to spend a whole lot of their time in deciding.

If rear-seat comfort is your number one priority, look no further than
the Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI. The big Benz manages to really
pamper occupants though the air-conditioning is just too slow to
cool as compared to the other three cars.
That brings us to the Audi A6. Rear-seat comfort could be better,but on almost all other counts, the A6 is at the top or close to the
top of the charts. Its brilliantly executed cabin is sure to make
every journey all the more special. It is good fun to drive too. So
whether its the front seat or back, it s the Audi that will feel like
money well spent.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
If it takes you to safety the Volvo is well equipped for that. If you are more interested about the powerand a great driving
experience the BMW is a great option.
If you are looking for a traditional brand image and keep on the extra
addition to power and quality the Mercedes is amazing for it. If you are looking for the best performing caramong these
considering the price, comfort, looks and an overall performance
including power and safety the Audi A6 has a serious beat over the
others.
So we recommend the Audi A6 is the best rated car among theseexecutive luxury sedans.
