New large car advice

We have a Skoda Superb Elegance TDI 170 DSG which has been a very good car. We are thinking of changing to the new model but for about the same money we can get a Jaguar XF, Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. What would you consider to be the best buy?

For 7k a year a Jaguar XE 2.0 petrol 240 would be good at about £30k. New XF on the way (testing next month). New Skoda Superb much better and range of 1.4 and 2.0 petrol engines from 125PS to 280PS. Do not buy diesel for 7k a year.
