Auto repairs can be a costly expense that can unexpectedly affect any individual. Auto service plans will help you avoid and prepare for these unexpected expenses by covering a variety of your vehicle's components.
There was a time when the term “luxury car” meant something that was unobtainable to many middle class consumers. It evoked the image of business moguls stepping into their exorbitantly priced Bentley's while money falls out of their pockets. While luxury vehicles still come at a higher price tag than affordable sedans and cars, these days' luxury vehicles offering some of the best in luxury features and technology are much more affordable for the savvy shopper.
With many luxury car brands on the market today, choosing the best luxury car is a matter of comparing your desired preferences and options and finding the model that best suits these needs. Here is our list of the top 5 best luxury cars of 2015.
Offering a fantastic mix of luxury and performance, the A8 is a shoe-in on this list. If you take advantage of the new Turbodiesel offering, you can also expect great fuel mileage as well. The A8 comes standard with an adaptive air suspension system, which makes it surprisingly nimble for a luxury car. If you not only like riding in style, but also want a car that is fun to drive, the 2015 Audi A8 might just be the car for you.
With an opulent interior marked with wood trim and soft leather, the Lexus LS provides a comfortable ride with plenty of room in the front and back seats. A spacious trunk ensures you can take everything you need on your roadtrip or weekend getaway. The standard V8 provides more than enough power for this larger car, but still maintains a reasonable MPG estimate for its class of 16/24 mpg city/highway. An optional sport package gives the LS Brembo brakes and a stiffer suspension, which will be appreciated by driving enthusiasts looking for performance in a luxury car.
The 2015 BMW 6 Series comes in a variety of models: Coupe, Gran Coupe, and Convertible. Regardless of your preference, each model provides an exciting driving experience paired with a luxurious interior to make your ride as comfortable as possible. The base power plant of this car is a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that provides more than enough get-up-and go. However, for those with a need for speed, the turbocharged V8 will be right up your alley. Combine that with the adaptive suspension system and you are in for quite a ride.
For the ultimate in performance, luxury, and fuel economy, consider the Tesla Model S. This all-electric luxury car delivers immediate power from a stop and the kind of acceleration that is rarely matched. While you are out enjoying twisty roads and long stretches of highway, you will be saving significantly on gas with the Tesla's 94/97 mpg-equivalent city/highway and range of 208 miles. The interior has been described as “appropriate for its class,” and though the front seats are roomy, the back seats are a little lacking for headroom. If you are searching for the best in luxury, performance, and eco-consciousness, the Model S has you covered.
Considered by many reviewers to be “one of the best luxury cars that money can buy,” the S-Class truly exudes luxury. Its lavish interior and ridiculously comfortable ride makes it a fantastic choice for anyone shopping for a new luxury car. That aside, this Mercedes really performs – its standard twin-turbo V8 gives it all the power it needs for taking off and passing on the highway. If you care less about fuel economy and more about performance and speed, opt for the AMG model and you will find yourself in luxury car heaven.
