Top Luxury Car Recommendations
If you’ve got the means, a luxury car can be a purchase you won’t regret. These vehicles prioritize every detail, offering a driving experience that’s second to none. Deciding which car to buy can be tricky, given the many high-end choices out there. Here’s a look at three types of luxury vehicles recommended by car and luxury experts.
Sedans
Daniel André Langer, executive professor of luxury strategy at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, noted that the features and engine are rarely the primary considerations in luxury cars anymore. He points to the “emotional aspects that create a strong response.” This is very evident in the luxury of space and usability offered by sedans. Here are Langer’s top sedan choices.
Porsche Taycan Turbo
Base price: $209,000
Langer is fascinated by how this car captures the essence of Porsche, while also embracing electric technology. He describes the Taycan as offering the sexy lines of the 911 in a modern, four-door version. As an electric sedan, the Porsche Taycan Turbo offers a thrilling performance. It showcases how electric vehicles can be as exciting and driver-focused as their combustion counterparts.
2025 Porsche Panamera
Base price: $102,800
Lauren Fix, founder of Car Coach Reports, believes the Panamera proves that a Porsche is still a Porsche, even with four doors. As the brand’s fastback sedan evolves into its third generation, it remains true to its sporty, yet luxurious mission. The car’s real allure is its rear and cargo space, making it an excellent high-end family sedan.
2024 BMW 3 Series
Base price: $44,500
Fix points out that the BMW 3-series has been the benchmark for sport-luxury sedans for decades. The 3-series combines its smart, subtle, and handsome exterior with a rich interior. It boasts a 14.9-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. This gives the cabin a decidedly modern look. It also offers three premium powertrains.
2025 Genesis G90
Base price: $89,700
Though relatively new to the luxury sedan scene, Genesis is already a strong competitor. Fix notes that the G90 is meticulously crafted with the finest luxurious details, with a timeless design. It has all the technology and luxury one would want starting at $89,700.
Semi-Convertibles
Semi-convertibles offer many luxury features, with the obvious appeal of driving with the top down. The Porsche 911 GTS Targa stands out among semi-convertibles.
Langer enjoys the joy, pleasure, and a sense of connection with nature when driving his 911. He appreciates the feel of the leather, the sound of the engine, and the beauty of the materials. He considers the car an extension of himself.
2025 Porsche 911 GTS Targa
Base price: $186,000
Langer drives a 911 convertible and loves it. He notes it’s versatile and equally at home as a daily driver or a weekend thrill machine.
Coupes
Luxury coupes offer a similar experience to driving a semi-convertible. They provide a more cocooned feeling because of their compact cabin and direct driving experience, while also being able to enjoy the drive. The Rolls-Royce Spectre is a prime example.
2025 Rolls-Royce Spectre
Base price: $423,000
Langer pointed out the Rolls-Royce Spectre’s ability to combine the brand’s timeless elegance with cutting-edge electric technology. Its balance on the road is hard to strike in the world of luxury cars.
