A lot has changed in the luxury sports sedan segment in the 40-plus years that 3-Series became the benchmark for accessibly aspirational sports sedans.

Alfa Romeo is back and the all-new Giulia excels, with a spartan interior that keeps the driver’s focus on the most important parts. Jaguar’s renaissance is proven in the gorgeous all-new XE sedan, which makes up in looks and refinement what it lacks in pure performance specs. Even Kia has a stunning performance sedan in the Stinger that deserves notice in a segment long dominated by Germans. Then there’s the Tesla Model 3, which may or may not be the future.

In sport mode and under heavy throttle, it won’t allow for sloppiness. Handling was sharp, so discovering it had run-flat tires was a surprise; working them to the edges on curves and accelerating out of a turn didn’t raise any run-flat eyebrows.
