Best Luxury Cars

Luxury cars offer higher-quality materials, better ride quality, and additional feature content over pedestrian people-movers. You’re likely familiar with luxury car brands like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, but we’re big fans of relative newcomer Genesis and impressed by luxury EVs from Tesla and Lucid. Tesla rules the electric luxury car market in terms of sales with the Model Y SUV and more affordable Model 3 car. If you’re looking for the best new luxury cars, start with the MotorTrend Ultimate Car Rankings.
