Oh yes +1!
That’s gonna be Clash of titan!!
Hybrid technology as the Panamera? 🤔
Id like to see rs8
Definitely. That will be an easy win for the M8 Gran Coupe.

Lol atleast yours can afford a car. Mine says Uber
The 6GT (and its predecessor 5GT) is such a great car! At first it looks a bit weird and it took some time for me to understand the concept. It combines the presence of an SUV (just look how wide and massive it is!) And the luxury and sleekness of a sedan or coupe. Plus, it is somehow like a "secret 7 series touring", since the car is based on the 7, but much more practical and less expensive 🤫
Love it!
I am a big fan of BMW... but design and quality A7 is absolutely georgious. Would like to say... Audi A7 is my new car.
The 6 grand coupe just look like a 5 series with a coupe body
BMW 6 GT, in fact, has almost the same dimensions as 7 series; far bigger than 5 series.
Mercedes cls and audi a7 became opponent of 6 series gt model which is worst generations bmw has ever made
Idk why but I quite like the look of the 6 GT. Not the most stylish but the most unique I think.
@@Msr.shaikh482 U are watching too much cartoons that u don't see ur ugly face when saying to me. Gt is worst generations bmw has made m cars are the best cars bmw has ever made if u didn't understand my point u will be very dumb I don't say gt generations are bad cars it's the worst cars bmw has ever made their in lowest class among bmw cars
For me, the design of Audi A7 is one of the best in automotive history. It’s so sleek and sophisticated.
The Audi A7 is definitely the best but that red colour doesn’t do the design justice. Stunning car overall though.
Amit agree personally i wish we saw a metalic grey or dark black version red for me looks like some casual car tho thats just my opinion
Yeah red doesn't look good on that car at all should've been nardo grey lol
If I got to choose, I would choose the A7 over the other 2 any time, especially over the BMW which is imo just ugly, but of the ones shown in the video, the CLS looks far better than the other 2 just because of the color and rims.
It should be black or silver
Amit they always review Audi’s in red, and it’s annoying, not as classy as the other colours
I swapped myX5 with a 6GT . The best car ever. It is a SUV , sport coupe and a super luxury saloon at the same time.
Easy win for Audi ,it is simply the most beautiful car out there 👍
Vs arteon looks even better
Noooooo the CLS
Cls beats them both just remember most of these cars have all these tech because of the Mercedes s class. And the s class is the one who brought the safety tech to the table.
Cls is much better looking car and the fastest here
Subin James wtf looks like a bucket full of elephant shit
I hate that an exclusive car like the CLS has the same design that the A class (The cheapest mercedes). I cant understand this.
iphone 7 is like 400$ while iphone Xs is over 1000$, they're identical inside, they have the same functions, it's just the name and little bit of a difference that changes the price nowdays
Most german manufacturers do this. Japanese carmakers are one of the few that differentiate their models as well as facelifts
Couldn't agree more!! I don't want my expensive CLS looking like the cheapest A-Class
It's the other way round! Mercedes managed to make the A class feel as premium as an expensive full size sedan. We should give them credit for that
Isn’t the B-Class the cheapest?
Seeing the Merc interior my first thought really was WOW, it is pretty spectacular in my opinion.
@@jamess9939 what about build quality? Does it feel solid ?
Then you saw the exterior and though, "Oh dear".
In your opinion...
@@seddam yes
I've driven around 6k in the 6 Series GT and it's grown on me more than any other car. I've grown to love it. Big, sporty, luxurious and surprisingly fun when pressing on - regardless of what the reviewer says.
Same here! Is the most practical, comfortable and perfect looking car. And this is from a guy who’s really fussy and drove range rovers for the last 5 years before I’ve owned a 6 series GT.
I need that Audi in my life!!!

@@crabrangoon2493 stfu you 9 year old crying baby short kid it’s the truth
The worst thing about Merc is the fact that it looks almost the same as the A-class from the front.. Besides the size of course but still paying that much for a car, for me it just has to be distinctive :P
Maksymilian Keroz you're blind mate if you mistaken this for an a class. By your logic a7 front looks like a tt.
Chris Anderson not at all. Otherwise wouldn't be able to say they like the looks of the a class but not the cls yet in fact that's what a lot of people say. So that couldn't be farther from the truth. And you are not paying for exterior design. You are paying for a far superior interior, far more luxurious amenities and features and technology and far better comfort, practicality etc. I could go on and on. So you are getting more than three times the car.
Maksymilian Keroz but its a Nice looking grill
Maksymilian Keroz all of audis models look the same yet Nobody complains
@@BlurpGooDiJabba no the A3/A5/A7 are looking similair but you could easily figure out that the A7 is a higher class than the A5 and so the A3. Same with A8/A6/A4.
Imo the cls is a disgrace a downgrade i would rather buy a A class limousine for half of the price but a Look Like cls which is + for the a class and - for cls
In my humble opinion, the last gen CLS was WAY better looking than this current one unfortunately.
Have always loved Mercedes and BMW but Audi's new cars are seriously growing on me
The problem is that the CLS looks like a CLA
Drove the A7 the other day, extremely good looking on the inside and out. The US engines are quiet and plenty fast. The touch screen requires a solid press to active and has a good click it almost feels like real buttons behind a glass panel. Some plastic parts bother me and the driver assistance radar look odd but they are much more advanced then the out going models. Getting to test a new A8 and Q8 later this week and the new A6 after that. It’s a perfect time to be a audi fan
I'm Audi fan 😍
Why u didn't add bmw 6 series gran coupe?
because they don't make it anymore
seriously?
BMW is no longer releasing the 6 series GC for testing. The car came out in 2012!!
Ashish Mundefi they're making an 8 series gran coupe
If anything the new 8 series gran coupe will be competing in this segment
Oh look at that beauty 😎 Audi is stunning !
It will have a recall in 2 months and won’t sell like the 18s
CLS is on another level 😍⭐️🦈
Cls sucks a7 rules
That level is lower than A7😄😄😄
Lucky it’s not a63 amg
@@thanhtuho2150not really. Cls is style above, a7 aims for practicality, cls is if you got it then who cares style is style, get a SUV for practicality lol
Both cars are gorgeous but my choice remains with CLS for better ride quality & the classic look of a 4 door coupe which started it all
Audi fanboys🔥, where are you??

I am
I am the biggest audi fan my friend

It'll have to be the A7👌
Haha guessed it right!
I feel like with the 6GT, BMW attempted a very brave route. They made a comfortable, spacious and mostly passenger-friendly car, which are attributes BMWs were never really known for. This car is like their anti-BMW in a way, and despite its shape and all, I applaud that
The 6GT is a real head turner, I had my family in the car with me once and a 6GT was in front of us and we were all talking about how regal that car looked
Agreed!
Lol it looks like bmw didn’t know what it wanted to do
@@nonamenoname4641 BMW - Desing, choose one. That said 8 series is stunning!
Who else is waiting for the new rs7
It's going to be amazing! Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the AMG GT 4 door.
@@DanielSadjadian The AMG GT63s will destroy it...
@@DanielSadjadian I don't see the point of 4 door AMG GT if CLS is the same kind of car... Why Mercedes did it?
Maybe and maybe not. The RS7/RS6 is rumoured to be powered by a V8 Hybrid powertrain, so it might be faster than the GT63 S. However AMG also have their own V8 Hybrid powertrain coming up too, so that will keep them on top :)
@TheEryk03 The AMG GT 4 door is the replacement for the CLS63 model. The new CLS will only go up to the 53 model now.
Audi A7 all day every day!
Sound abit gay

Its a shame to compare this car with the both others. 13 min wastet of the A7s time.
Your reviews are like the 80/20 rule of car reviews. Leagues ahead of other web and tv channels in terms of information. Feels like you actually went to try the car as a viewer.
Perfect choice with that A7. Mine just arrived! Cheers

I'm a BMW fanboy but I love the Audi A7. It's the only Audi I like though. As for the CLS? I think I'm the only person in the world who thinks it looks hideous
Daniel Ohio I guess you are not the only one... I think that too...
Daniel Ohio it looks beatiful the 53 model and its interior is easily better than the bmws and audis combined. And the gt63 looks even more amazing.
You are not alone, i find every mercedes boring or fat-looking except the G class
Literally everyone is saying how ugly the CLS is...
@@antoinemaechling6196 you're blind then . the amg gt r isn't fat. the s63 isn't fat or boring the e63 isn't fat or boring. the c63 isn't fat looking or boring. Neither is the gt63 or a class. None of them are fat looking or boring. You're boring
Bar far the best car reviews. Well done lads! Loyal Supporter from Atlanta GA U.S.
6gt is best family car.
Just get the 5 Touring lmao
The GT is ugly, i rather have a coupe then that
Stefan I have 5 touring. And it’s not even close when comparing comfort and practicality. Really. The GT is a best choice if you need luxury family car.
"Diesel is dead! "

A7 is one of my favorite cars and I'm so happy that it has won!
I love the audi A7 most. This design is amazing❤❤❤❤
CLS for sure
Hope to see,
M8 GranCoupe vs RS7 vs AMG GT 63S vs Hybrid Panamera,
next year.
Matt, your review of the 6GT made me fall in love with it and you almost put me off of it at the beginning of this one. Agree with you that customers of the Benz and Audi are people who want a cooler looking sedan or more like they want a coupe’ luxury GT where they don’t have to get out and move the front seats every time someone needs to get in and out of the back. The 6GC served those customers too but, the 6GT is a different game. I am more interested in a car that has a rear seat closer to that of a 7 series but, don’t care about the front since a driver would be behind the wheel so why pay 7 series money since a lot of it goes for the front of the cabin. Also, I want the practicality and size of the 6GT... it’s more practical and usable than a 7 and 5 to carry people and luggage and isn’t massive like an X7. Totally different catering than the CLS and A7 in my opinion. Glad you featured it again though, it’s growing more on me as the best choice for what I want. Thanks for all your content even if I think it’s a mismatch, it’s still good content.
''OH, the indingnaty''. Love it.
So sad seeing how ugly the cls became.The first gen cls was so beautiful
+MarcusKuann so bad
2nd gen looked best imo
how can you say cls is ugly when the master of ugliness 6GT is standing right there
@@anpham605 tbh both are ugly as fuck. The cls looks Like Mazda Renault or an A class which is so stupid. The BMW interior sucks you can compare that with a 2012 Audi. And the ugliest Thing it looks Like an baby x6 not even a bit Sporty. You Just cant compare the New A7 with that. Its Like comparing samsung S10 with iPhone 7
@@anpham605 so fckn true!
All great cars, but I chose the BMW and specified X-Drive, full air suspension and M Sport braking system....it is a fast and the most practical car with a proper hatchback, hence why I downsized from a 7 series.
It's amazing how no one ever compared the old 5er GT to the cls and the a7, but now thanks to a change in badging (and admittedly the lack of a new 6er GC) they've apparently managed to fool their way into this class lol
I haven't even seen beyond 0:02..but I have to say..thank you for making this...I love your content
I have personally been driving a 6 Series GT for a year. I bought it because my family was growing and I have to say that it is the best car I have ever owned for everyday use. It offers enough space in the front and back. Whether it was an Audi, VW or Seat, we always had problems storing the stroller and luggage in the trunk, but that problem is now a thing of the past. And the 3.0 liter diesel is enough for a family that likes to go faster.
What a gorgeous looking Audi 😍😍esp that DAY TIME RUNNING light 😍😍
Happy New year 2019 to everyone 😍😊 🎉🎊🎈🎆🌲🎊🍸
Hi from 2021
Great video! Came in thinking I wanted the BMW 6 GT left thinking that the Audi S7 might be a better option
As an owner of a CLS350D 4matic (and ex of a 320D) I would say that I wouldn’t change it for the Audi or BMW. My CLS is classy, beautiful and I drove it on curves so fast that others would say wow 10 times. It is a sports coupe of another level!
I agree. They say quality in a7 but a lot of plastic and gloss black
If you've seen all the three on person you all know that CLS is the most eye-catching
Exactly
The first generation of A7 looks better than the new in my opinion
Giovanni Vattuone I agree the new one looks like a concept and a bit weird!
Its a new level. That is bmw and Mercedes problem they cant Do something new/special. The new A7 is compareable with the next gen of the cls and 6 Series in Like 2025. Just compare the 2012 A6 with the 2016 E class
OMG looking at the mercs interior I freeked out!!
I'm a BMW fan and I drive BMW myself, but dang that A7 front is aggressive and gorgeous, I would choose it from these 3.
I actually like the design elements of the 6 more than the 5 series. The front lights and kidneys for example. It’s just that it’s a van thing. If it was a coupe with a hatchback like the a7 it would have been great.
The GT is the best among these 3 wonderful cars! It has more interior space and comfort than the others! Not to mention the luggage space
For me I want all of those and a good gas mileage and reliability
Just ordered an A7 S line and glad as it’s getting rave reviews
For sure to each their own but.... i just cant see someone choosing the bmw over THIS gorgeous Audi.
what a 6 series GT is doing in this comparison???? wait for the new 6 gran coupe to be released or remove it completely from the list!
You people really are dumb.
The 6 series is being replaced by the new 8 series and the 5 series GT is being replaced by the 6 series GT. The current 6 series gran coupe is out of production and even if they could get it, it's a bit outdated in terms of technology compared to these two (but I'd still have it over them, it's one of my dream cars)
Because for some bizarre notion BMW wanted to call the piece of pig iron a "Grand Tourer"
Who loves the Audì Á7
GT for me. Great to drive, best infotaiment and best practicality.
2:27 is matt just very small or the CLS is HUGE?
Hey lol mat is narrow not wide xD
Audi's are amazing. You get quality, comfort and decent performance for your money!
Until the 8 series GranCoupe... 😌
that's a different class. you cant compare it with any of these.
Dusan Skrbic 8 series actually smaller than a 6 series.
RS7 😌
Until the Audi Etron GT (A9)
I love the BMW6 GT.....ive been looking at the 5 GT which has a TWO part boot lid... one part opens the lower section for normal stowage of luggage BUT also you can open up the entire hatch for mass stowage of your bigger items.... However I didn't see the same type of two part hatch lid on this 6 GT....DID you not show it or has bmw not added the very handy hatch lid.... dam it was such an attractive thing about the Grand Tour Model
This is the comparison I never knew I wanted
I love my BMW 640t GT. The looks have grown on me, and it is 20k cheaper than an 840i which has identical performance and looks similar in the real world. I used to like Mercedes but hate the curvy interiors of the current crop.
Audi A7 is easily the best there. It has everything going for it. The CLS nowhere near as good as the last gen one.
So many Audi circle jerkers here.
Nathan its simply the best one so dont hate if it gets the most love
HG504 that's simply not true. The new cls is better than the old one in nearly every single way. Better driving dynamics, more comfortable, significanly better interior, more luxurious x way more advanced in technology etc etc. And its just as good as the audi in that regard. So it mainly comes down to personal preference.
New cls design is so bad the exterior is garbage. I’m a life long fan of the AMG lineup and the e class. But Merc really fucked up the design this time
I just think the Audi interior design is horrible. TWO touchscreens and one down at knee height is just so unnecessarily difficult to use and distracting. Much prefer BMW‘s system.
Thanks for the info
This is literally my dream sector so many choices and quality. Unfortunately a 3 series is as much as i can go
I love the tailgate with the electric stuff
of 6GT
Cls 😍😍
Honestly the best reviewer on youtube
Can we hope your reviews will include talk on what type/quality the axles, suspensions, gearboxes, steer (for gearbox and steer I mean the "invisible" parts "inside" the car) turbo, and so on the reviewed/compared cars have?
It would take only 3-4 minutes more, and would provide who is interested (I must assume it's not only I) with very very rare information.
Even the window glasses quality would be worth mentioning... how transparent the window is (how it does alter or not alter the colours), and so on.
I gotta say, the bmw reminds me of a Prius
I don’t think the GT is the right car, it should have been the normal 6 series, other than that, great test!
The Audi and Merc were created as sportier versions of their saloon base cars. This 6 GT - like the 5 GT before is about space and practicality. BMW don’t currently have a competitor in this class. Would be interesting to compare the less practical but sharper discontinued 6 GC as that would have been fairer.
I ended up getting the A7 last week! Loving it!!
Dream on
I got RS7 yesterday
HOLD UP HOLD UP before I watch is the BMW infotainment system good??
Wow... Audi seems to be winning things lately on this channel...still loving my 1yr old A5 Sb B9
John Tan Audi been winning since 2007-2011 LED daytime running lights :)
Matt! When are you doing the comparison Audi A6 2019 vs BMW 5 series and Mercedes E class ?
Great Video Comparison. The Audi A7 Sportback Is the Car I would choose
The CLS 😍
12:24 conclusion
I like how Mat hides the CarWow scores for the cars while showing the prices in the iPad.
Just my personal opinion: you should also always compare or mention the sound system. For me, and I know I'm not the only one, the sound system is very important as well
AUDI a7 sportback
Audi 👌❤ love it.
Imagine RS7 😃😃
BMW GT looks dope. And what about the blender buttons of All BWM???
I’ll get and wait this A7 even 10years later ,only that time I can afford it with 2nd hand price 😅
What's wrong with you? The BMW doesn't look good? It looks very good
To be honest it kinda doesn't compare to a series 5 and 7
As James May would say: The winner is the Audi...
Great choice! 😉
Well, I don't like the rear end of the Merc but otherwise, I love the front interior area but I do think the BMW has by far the best rear interior half of the cars, the best back seat setup including the privacy blinds a great inclusion, the gas struts on the under-floor compartment, space for the cargo cover is also great as is the pull button fold down rear seats and the zero lip on the boot, otherwise I'm not a fan of the BMW externally or the front half. I like the Audi externally and reasonably the dash but that's about it. I think if I was super rich and could have a car built, I would have the front half of the Merc and the rear half of the BMW.
i hate the cls, and more of mercedes newer designs to be honest
The Coupés are nice but the new angular head and taillights ...nope
I think the a class is the only decent looking new Mercedes
They hit the ceiling with the previous generation. This one has to suck so the previous one becomes historically glorious
The back of those cars are looking like Lightning McQueens front why?????
I totally agree with you.
You know who is the king of the road "AUDI" 😍😍
It would be interesting to see just how long all these touch screens last in real daily use. Most of my smartphones wear out within 3 years and so does my pads. Each system update slows them down as well. So will these screens still be functional in 5-10 years? The MERC is the best!
Hi Mat! Nice review and well said: these cars are a compromise. You really try to get everything in one car which is really difficult. Comfort, luxury, sportiness, spaces and like you said none is best at anything. I think cars like the Giulia QV or the M3 CP come closer to fulfill this all in one dream car?
Btw, isn't BMW bringing a normal 6 series, rather than this a bit ugly GT version?
I still think my W219 CLS is the best design they did .. BTW why didnt you use the 6 series 4 door coupe ??
BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD MODEL.
If you want eye appeal, the CLS hands down👍🏻 Especially the c218 model 63😉
Actually the 6 series GT looks really good in person!
All these 3 cars are best on its own way... ❤️❤️❤️
