Top 10 luxury car brands

Cars are important these days as it provides a common means of travelling, whether it is a long distance travel or just have to commute to work or a shorter trip in the town. In addition, those who do not have convenient reach to public transportation, such as trains or buses, which is especially the case in the suburbs, can use cars for personal transportation. Some basic cars are to fulfill the travelling needs while some are luxury cars which are an important aspect of status symbol.

Luxury cars have more power, equipment and comfort than the necessity but they play a vital role in the car industry. Luxury cars point to the future direction carmakers may take. For example, few decades ago, the expensive Mercedes S-Class was the first car in the world to come with anti-lock brakes - a safety feature almost all cars have today.

The high end features are initially featured in luxury car models, before trickling down to the affordable cars. There are several features in luxury cars that seems impossible to be featured in a budget car like lambs wool carpets and bespoke oak veneers. The latest Peugeot 3008 SUV is available with a massaging driver’s seat, so such expensive extras are one of the things that make luxury cars so expensive.

Apart from these, other things that luxury cars have in common with the cars of their family is economy. Some of the models of this category come exclusively with powerful and thirsty petrol  engines, while others have diesel engines with great mileage. As many luxury car brands are owned by larger parent carmakers, the fuel-saving technologies are better in the affordable models.
