Best luxury cars 2020
Luxury cars have a wide remit. Not only do they need to be, er, luxurious, but also quiet on the move, comfortable to sit in and drive as well as packed with the latest features and technology. Naturally, all that will come at a price. We’ve pulled together a list of the luxury cars that do it best.
1. Audi A8
The Audi A8 is the brand’s flagship luxury car. The build quality is brilliant and the soft touch plastics, chrome accents and swathes of leather all help the A8 feel worth its luxury car price. It’s also very quiet, supremely comfortable sat in the front or back and comes with lots of advanced technology.

2. Mercedes S-Class
The Mercedes S-Class has a long history at the top of the luxury car game. It offers sleek looks inside and out – its bold, swooping interior is particularly spectacular. Of course, it also excels on quiet and comfort. There are sporty petrol AMG models if you’re keen to spend more time in the front rather than the back.

3. BMW 7 Series
The BMW 7 Series has traditionally been the driver’s choice amongst big luxury cars, but at the expense of comfort. Not so with this latest 7 Series, which manages to feel agile yet extremely cosseting at the same time. It has a fancy carbon construction helping keep its weight down, and the best infotainment system currently on sale.

4. Porsche Panamera
Porsche has proved it can make nimble luxury cars, with the Porsche Panamera. You have the choice of six or eight-cylinder power as well as a plug-in hybrid that’ll cruise silently on pure electric or keep up with supercars from the lights. Pair that with a stunning interior and lots of passenger space and you have a hugely impressive luxury car.

5. Bentley Continental GT
The Bentley Continental GT might have a reputation as footballer’s cars, but it’s also a truly great luxury car. Its engines are hugely powerful, its interior is one of the finest you’ll find in any car and this latest model’s touchscreen infotainment is far better than the previous model’s. It’s even pretty sharp to drive for such a huge car.
Best luxury SUVs
There was a time when true luxury came in saloon form only. These days, with the interest in SUVs booming, high-end luxury has been given a raised ride height. And it makes sense, because the space and superior visibility large SUVs bring only adds to the sense of opulence. Here we’ve rounded up five of the best luxury SUVs.
1. BMW X7
The BMW X7 genuinely has limo-like space for seven people. It’s also great to drive and has a high-quality interior and therefore the best luxury SUV you can buy.

2. Audi SQ7
The Audi SQ7 sits at the top of the Q7 range and is powered by a sledgehammer of a 4.0-litre diesel V8 engine. That means a 0-62 sprint time of less than five seconds, yet respectable economy at a cruise too. Clever active suspension that props up the SQ7 in corners will ensure you have fun driving it around corners, too. And, inside, you’ll also find it suitably top-of-the-range, with lashings of leather and a lengthy standard equipment list.

3. Bentley Bentayga
When Bentley announced it was to make an SUV the purists weren’t happy, but today they line the street outside Harrods. And the Bentayga is fundamentally a good car, with a comfortable ride, wonderful engines and genuinely superb interior quality. It isn’t cheap to buy and is based on an Audi Q7, but it does at least look and feel the more expensive luxury SUV.

4. Tesla Model X
Few luxury SUVs turn heads like the Tesla Model X. From its party piece Falcon wing rear doors that are hinged at the top and lift up, to its 17-inch screen that takes up almost all of the centre console, there really is nothing else like it. Of course, it’s also pure electric, will do 0-60mph in just 2.9 seconds and travel more than 200 miles on a full charge. It also has a high-quality interior and spongy air suspension.

5. Mercedes G-class
This boxy bruiser has always been a leftfield choice. You do get quite a bit for your money – an iconic exterior design, super-strong suspension system, arguably the best off-road ability in class and one of the most impressive petrol V8 engines currently on sale. It’s far from a good value proposition but it’s difficult to ignore its broad range of abilities.

A basic Dacia Sandero costs around £8,000 and is about the same price as adding a refrigerated bottle cooler with frosted glass and bespoke crystal champagne flutes to the top car in this list. The combined price of all five cars here is over £1,000,000 and if you haven’t guessed already, here are the top 5 most expensive cars currently available on carwow.
1. Bentley Mulsanne
The most expensive Mulsanne is the long wheelbase version in driving spec. The Mulliner interior spec brings diamond quilted leather seats among many other luxury features. Prices start at around £300,000

2. Bentley Bentayga
Off-road ability is just an added bonus to this royal palace on wheels. The most expensive Bentayga gets exquisite, quilted leather upholstery alongside walnut veneer and a bottle chiller for the rear seats. Oh, and not to mention the hugely-powerful 6.0-litre W12 engine.
3. Mercedes Maybach S-Class
Available only in long wheel base form, the Maybach has an endless amount of gadgets inside yet a fairly ordinary S-Class exterior look, making it the perfect car to blend in while still enjoying one of the most luxurious interiors out of any car.
4. Ranger Rover SVAutobiography
Luxury highlights of the most expensive Range Rover include massive 22-inch alloy wheels, quilted leather seats with ‘hot stones’ massage feature and a three-screen infotainment system.
5. Mercedes G-Class
With the ‘G’ you get iconic exterior design, arguably the best off-road ability in class and one of the most impressive petrol V8 engines currently on sale. It’s difficult to ignore how many different abilities you get in one package.
