The midsize luxury sedan will be revealed on May 24 initially as an electric i5 based on the company's teasers, which could probably mean that the internal combustion engine (ICE) versions are going to be part of a separate launch. Nevertheless, the midsize luxury sedan space has always been dominated by BMW's 5 Series and the E-Class, and while you've already seen what the Merc is like, here are a few reasons as to why you should also wait for the Bimmer before handing over that check.

Noticeably, Cadillac decided to make the Cadillac Celestiq EV in its most traditional and recognizable shape, which is that of a beautiful and large sedan, just like Americans liked their cars before the SUV craze began. It is also worth mentioning that, despite being true to its original basic form, the Cadillac Celestiq design looks quite unique, really unlike anything else on the road today. Its design pushes the boundaries of what a futuristic car should look like, while at the same time, boasting a timeless feel to it, as if you would look back to this car 40 years from now, and still find its looks appealing, much like the traditional and gorgeous Cadillacs of old we still see today.

While Cadillac’s badge remains sought-after by many, it doesn’t hold the same weight as it once did, say, 60 years ago, as increasingly more upmarket buyers are turning to non-domestic luxury models from BMW or Mercedes-Benz. And part of the equation was those automakers could not only offer seriously upscale models, BMW’s M division and Mercedes-AMG also provided luxury cars with legitimate performance.

It seems only the most beloved by enthusiasts models will be spared from the EV craze, at least for now. That’s not to say there aren’t casualties on that front too, and it seems the Skyline nameplate will be the next to go under. Nissan Skyline has long been separated from the GT-R badge and over the last decade, its future has been dependent on Infiniti’s Q50. Both are the same vehicle in different markets. With Infiniti attempting to reimagine itself (again), its focus for the coming years will be on electrification while retaining an exciting design and iconic nameplates.

Tesla’s models are still selling like hotcakes, especially due to Elon Musk’s price cuts, though 2022 saw the Chinese manufacturer BYD, beating Tesla in terms of sales figures. It is worth noting that the Chinese brand’s BEV lineup is not limited to all-electric vehicles and includes hybrid vehicles too.

This is simply because the more the sub-brands a company has to offer to consumers, the less they will make on the models they are trying to push. Therefore, fewer options for buyers means that the company can direct the buying trends of the public in the direction they want. These are simple business practices that are effective for the leading umbrella company and beneficial to all new car buyers since all the good aspects of the secondary car lines will be combined into one. One company that may be slotted to retire is the beloved and iconic Cadillac because the people at GM have big plans for the Corvette line.

While these two goals have been pursued for decades, this is apparent, now more than ever before. The time of mergers and corporate assimilations means that things aren’t always what they seem.

It is new to BMW aficionados because it is the first time BMW introduced a luxury limo with a fully electric powertrain. The standard 7 Series retains the good old V-8 power. However, the unconventional design of the G70 generation, as a whole, makes it quite challenging to love this luxury Bimmer visually. In addition, specific touches feel overly done, especially with the i7. Like BMW’s flagship electric SUV, the iX, the i7 plays fake sounds through its speakers when you keep your right foot busy. Although not new to the EV world, BMW took this feature seriously and incorporated it in more innovative ways. However, in real life, the feature does make some peculiar sounds that are adaptive to the driving modes. To showcase the matter, AutoTopNL took out the i7 for a quick high-speed run, and it turns out that, despite the weirdly composed sounds, the luxury EV is pretty quick.

It would not really be surprising if the British automobile manufacturer were to appear at the top of a ranking. But even at Rolls-Royce, not everything has always been for the best. In the 1990s, the company, like the entire British automotive industry, went through a difficult phase that ultimately led to the failed takeover by the Volkswagen Group. Instead, BMW acquired the Rolls-Royce brand and dared to completely relaunch it in 1998. And since the brand has belonged to the Bavarian carmaker with the propeller logo, things have been going uphill. In 2022, Rolls-Royce not only sold more units than ever before, but the average price of a model also exceeded $500,000 for the first time.

<![CDATA[BMW Isn't Willing To Abandon Sedans Amid The SUV Craze ]]> https://www.topspeed.com/bmw-isnt-willing-to-abandon-sedans-amid-the-suv-craze/ BMW's 02 models of the 1960s and the first generation of the 3 Series from 1975 onwards marked a turning point in the varied history of the Bavarian car manufacturer, and these sedans are still deeply anchored in the brand's fan culture today. It's no wonder that the BMW i Vision Dee at CES 2023 in Las Vegas makes reference to these models and aims to provide a preview of the New Class production models from 2025 onwards. But at a time when the sales program of virtually all automakers increasingly consists only of SUV models, the question remains open as to why BMW chose a concept car with the body cladding of a sedan, of all things. However, the answer to this question is very simple. Because to reassure its fans, BMW wants to remain true to the sedan in the future.

For instance, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta is now being offered to all owners provided their vehicle has the necessary hardware to support it as opposed to simply limiting the tech to eligible drivers. However, despite what Elon Musk wants you to think, it's not a true self-driving feature since FSD still requires the attention of the driver. At most, FSD is an SAE Level 2 autonomous system. That makes Mercedes' announcement it will offer Level 3 automated driving in select U.S. areas all the more important in the race for autonomous driving.

With functionality like climate control, internet access, programmable info, and much more, the technology in cars is increasing rapidly from where it was less than two decades prior. While the size of the screens keeps increasing on the inside of models, some brands still oppose the trend. In fact, even as last week's CES 2023 showcased all kinds of new screen tech, BMW’s boss insists that the obsession with screens is just a fad that will fade in the next ten to fifteen years.

Maserati has arguably suffered from all those in some regard. Not to mention, the company has been sold off and traded from one parent to another almost constantly until only a few years ago. This has impacted Maserati's ability to innovate and focus on what sets them apart from every other company. But on the precipice of its electrified era, Maserati is looking to stand out from the crowd with a revamped lineup of cool and sporty EVs.

What once was a snarling, out-of-control German muscle car, turned into a slightly more civilized performance sedan. The common theme throughout the generations that popularized the high-powered small sedan was the thunderous V-8 under the hood. A big front-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports sedan is what made the AMG C-class soar among enthusiasts. Now though Mercedes-AMG has traded displacement for technology, banking on a tech-enthusiast future. The result is still a bonkers fast little car with enough room for you, your friends, and your stuff.
