These are the mainstay of the luxury automobile segment and have been a firm favorite for their road presence, luxury, and performance. However, things are changing now with newer SUVs coming into the mix and technology being a clear distinguishing factor in 2024. That said, there are some evergreen favorites still lurking around.
Cadillac Escalade
You cannot go wrong with the iconic Escalade and in its new form, it remains a staple for its comfort, technology, and immense road presence. The Escalade now is a much more capable luxury hauler with a sharper look and a tech-loaded interior with a cleaner take on modern luxury. The 55-inch touchscreen dashboard is a mammoth and comprises many screens behind a piece of glass. Plus, the captain seats have a lot more comfort and features while it is great to drive in a comforting way.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
The Cullinan is Rolls-Royce at its best but only with a raised driving height while still being a peerless luxury express. It is quiet, smooth, and drenched in luxury but not so much in complicated technology. It is also a capable driver’s machine and the interior is a masterclass in dialing up the luxury quotient but not bombarding you with a science class in the process. The majestic V12 is also an alluring addition to the driving experience.
Range Rover
The new Range Rover has been a huge success and rightly so with its new design which is elegant while being delightfully minimalistic plus the clever interior. It delivers on what modern-day luxury should be but with excellent tastes. The V8 versions are fabulous while the luxury quotient has been taken higher plus it is also akin to driving a modern-day yacht with its light steering. An upcoming electric version will further solidify its ground in the luxury space.
Mercedes-Maybach EQS
Electric meets luxury as the Maybach sub-brand envelops the EV ethos and it works well. The EQS Maybach takes the canvas of the standard version and dips it into even more luxury. As a result, it is serene, comfortable, and effortless with the interior being covered in luxuries including the individual rear seats. Being electric is a bonus and suits the luxury car while being one of the most luxurious EVs that you can get in the SUV segment.
Bentley Bentayga
Sumptuous interiors and matched with the unique Bentley driving experience which somehow blurs performance plus luxury. The Bentayga has been a big seller for Bentley and it merges the typical traits with an SUV body style. The interiors are top notch with the craftsmanship being a highlight while it is a car where you could be chauffeured in along with happily taking the wheel yourself.
