Aside from the typical array of luxurious amenities and high-end performance, there are many defining factors that decide which cars belong at the very top of any luxury car list. From sporty convertibles like the Bentley Continental GT to award-winning sedans like the Audi A8L, many vehicles demonstrate a special kind of sophistication without sacrificing comfort or utility. When you consider all of these criteria together, it’s no surprise that some cars rise to the top faster than others. Mercedes-Benz has long been known for producing luxury vehicles with an emphasis on sleek design and reliability – two qualities primed for making them stand out among the finest in any lineup. That’s why, when we look at the choices available for top 10 lists today, one name remains atop them all – Mercedes-Benz.
The 10 best luxury cars currently on sale
1-Genesis G80:
Similarly to Lexus three decades ago, Genesis has entered a luxury car market that is largely dominated by long-standing European brands. Hyundai’s high end spin off has transformed the company into a major success in its native Korea, and more recently in the US too where there is less emphasis on name recognition. Last summer Genesis introduced the G80; a large saloon with BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 competition in mind. Thanks to generous exterior dimensions combined with captivating design elements, the G80 provides plenty of opportunity for those seeking uniqueness from their luxury car. The inside offers plenty of upgraded technology and quality features, delivering an unexpectedly opulent atmosphere – all without buying into snobbery or conforming to familiar stereotypes. The G80 is a vehicle that wonderfully balances luxurious comfort with affordable practicality. Its contemporary design exudes an air of sophistication, while its advanced driver assistance features afford an added sense of composed assurance. Although the G80 falls slightly behind its European rivals in terms of driver appeal and desirability, it stands out as an impressive first attempt in this niche market. If your tastes lean towards the more sybaritic end of the scale, culminating in stylish comfort over aggressive performance, then the G80 is ready and willing to cradle you along with all its amenities—worth a try at least.
2-Cadillac Escalade ESV:
The Cadillac Escalade is the perfect example of gross excess. Not only does it come with a ridiculous amount of features, such as eight screens and 36 speakers, but its gigantic size makes it almost comically hard to believe that it’s actually a regular-sized SUV. Putting this into perspective – its badge is up, the front is the size of a human face, and the tiny wheels are actually 22 inches – really drives home how excessive this vehicle is. As if that weren’t enough, due to its large size, drivers must so use the “conversation enhancer” feature so their voice can be heard in the back rows. When one thinks of luxury lifestyle spending, there may be no better example than this crazy SUV! The Cadillac Escalade’s displays are something out of a science-fiction movie; six of them are front-facing and two are the largest in automotive history. Thanks to its ability to connect two PlayStations, drivers can take a break and get comfy during long trips. Of course, this kind of luxury does come with a hefty price tag which many would consider ‘excessive’. But for those who reside in the one per cent lifestyle, having access to the best tech available – like the Super Cruise autopilot system – is a mark of their success. Though it may be excessive, it’s certainly quite impressive!
