Here are the 5 most popular medium-sized cars
1. BMW 5 Series
For more than 40 years the BMW 5 Series has been the go-to executive saloon for millions of business-type mile-crunchers with an enthusiasm for driving.
The car’s blend of talents has always been highly commendable and rarely matched, offering supreme ride comfort, cutting-edge interiors and, whenever it takes your fancy, exciting and entertaining rear-wheel-drive dynamism. Read More ...
2. Jaguar XF
By 2007, Jaguar was stuck in the doldrums. Ford’s ownership, and membership of the Premier Automotive Group, had not come without its advantages, but the introduction of the S-Type in 1999 and the X-Type two years later had not set the world alight.
The X-Type, manacled to the same front-drive platform as the Mondeo, was no match for the dynamism and verve of its compact German rivals, and the S-Type – in looks, certainly – harked back too plainly to an era that the rest of the country was fast forgetting. Read More ...
3. Mercedes-Benz E-Class

That was six years ago. However, Geely’s initial purchase was just the warm-up act for an investment plan that will eventually pour an incredible $11bn into new models, new platforms, new engines and new technologies for Volvo – some of which we’ve already seen and some of which we’ve yet to see.

5. Audi A6
The roots of the Audi A6 can be traced to 1968 and the original Audi 100, then launched as a flagship rather than a mid-range model. That name endured through four distinct generations for 26 years.
It was replaced in 1994 by the first A6, although this was simply to bring the car into line with Audi’s newly adopted naming policy; the car itself was no more than a facelifted 100. The car you see here is the fourth generation of A6. Read More ...
