Draw a horizontal line between row after utilizing makecell

rulestables

In a table, how can I draw a horizontal line to separate every three smartphone models? I mean after LG, Samsung and Xiaomi there must be another line that separates it. Also I need to separate 25%, 50% and 75% according to the first three models. Thanks.

Here is how you can do that table with {NiceTabular} of nicematrix.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{nicematrix}

\begin{document}

\begin{table*}[t!]
  \caption{Localization errors in the three testing scenarios.}
  \label{table:tab5}
  \centering
  \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2}
  \begin{NiceTabular}{X[3,m,c]X[4,m,c]X[3,m,c]X[3,m,c]X[3,m,c]}[hvlines]
    Testing condition &  Performance comparison & Smartphone model & A & B \\
    \Block{9-1}{} & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 1.675 & 2.179 \\
                  & 25\% error    & Samsung & 2.134 & 2.758 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 2.563 & 2.845 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 3.858 & 4.215 \\
    Scenario 1    & 50\% error    & Samsung & 4.892 & 5.560 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 4.593 & 4.964 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 6.564 & 7.568 \\
                  & 75\% error    & Samsung & 8.277 & 8.537 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 6.723 & 7.232 \\
    \Block{9-1}{} & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 2.021 & 2.396 \\
                  & 25\% error    & Samsung & 2.171 & 2.435 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 2.568 & 2.960 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 3.021 & 3.156 \\
    Scenario 2    & 50\% error    & Samsung & 3.452 & 3.785 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 4.078 & 4.951 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 5.691 & 6.413 \\
                  & 75\% error    & Samsung & 8.277 & 7.809 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 6.328 & 7.625 \\
    \Block{9-1}{} & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 1.849 & 2.515 \\
                  & 25\% error    & Samsung & 1.724 & 2.369 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 2.341 & 3.209 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 3.052 & 3.387 \\
    Scenario 3    & 50\% error    & Samsung & 3.148 & 4.577 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 4.654 & 5.479 \\
                  & \Block{3-1}{} & LG      & 4.794 & 6.044 \\
                  & 75\% error    & Samsung & 6.273 & 8.248 \\
                  &               & Xiaomi  & 6.738 & 8.669 \\
  \end{NiceTabular}
\end{table*}

\end{document}

You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/Tikz nodes under the hood).

Instead of nested tables as xport_is_sleeping suggested, you can also use \cline{2-3} which draws a partial line starting on column 2 and ending on column 3 and use \multirow to center the words Foo and Bar on the lines if that's what you want:

alt text

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|c|cc|}\hline
\multirow{4}{*}{Foo} & 1 & 2 \\
    & 1 & 2 \\\cline{2-3}
    & 1 & 2 \\
    & 1 & 2 \\\hline
\multirow{4}{*}{Bar} & 1 & 2 \\
    & 1 & 2 \\\cline{2-3}
    & 1 & 2 \\
    & 1 & 2 \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

When making tables, you should also always use the array package which offers various additional features and improvements (most notably at the vertical and horizontal lines joins).

[Tex/LaTex] Horizontal line not working

You could use the command

\hrule

to get a line that spans the width of the text block. The following, very slight, modification of your MWE

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text
\begin{document} 
\begin{center}
\Huge CV
\end{center}
\hrule
\bigskip
\lipsum[2] % generate a short paragraph of filler text
\end{document}

generates:

enter image description here

Interestingly, it does not appear to be necessary to place the \hrule (or equivalent) command inside the center environment.
