- 2024 BMW i7 Series
If you need proof of how serious BMW is about staking its claim on luxury car glory, then consider the fact the i7 (and its ICE-powered 7 Series sibling) will only be available in leg-stretching long-wheelbase guise. While the previous six generations of the brand’s flagship saloons have placed as much emphasis on driver delight and pampering passengers, this all-new model is all about five-star cosseting and cutting-edge tech.
It’s the all-electric i7 that arrives first, but regardless of motive power, you’re unlikely to lose the big BMW in a crowd. Not only is it a vast machine, but the slab-sided styling and gargantuan front grille also mean that the 7 Series is a ‘challenging’ aesthetic proposition.
The interior melds all the latest technology with traditional craftsmanship and a rich array of natural materials, including the surprisingly indulgent cashmere wool trim. There are acres of space to lounge around in, while additions such as the 31.3 BMW Theatre Screen for rear-seat passengers take in-car entertainment to the next level. There’s also the usual widescreen display ahead of the driver, but the retention of an iDrive rotary controller means you’re not subjugated to the total tyranny of a touchscreen interface.
The vehicle uses a twin-motor set-up and a 102kWh battery and produces 536bhp, a claimed range of 367 miles, and 0-62mph in 4.7sec. Less impressive is a kerb weight just shy of 2800kg.
- 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
There aren’t any significant changes to the S-class lineup for the 2024 model year. Those looking for an even mightier, performance-focused model can check out the AMG S-class (reviewed separately), which relaunches this year after a two-year absence.
Ambient lighting and connectivity are very well executed, and beneath it all, barring one or two ergonomic shortfalls resides one of the most materially comfortable and cosseting places to sit while the miles ease by, for driver and passenger. In an age of ever more grandiose car grilles, the S-Class’s relatively subtle exterior design stands out.
If you want your Mercedes with a big battery pack instead of an engine, you need to look towards the Mercedes EQS, which is an entirely fresh take on the electric luxury car and shares next to nothing with its more traditional counterpart, unlike the BMW 7 series and i7 twins. There’s very little wrong with the S-Class’s range of petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrains, though.
The line-up tends to shift with availability, but you usually get a choice between the S350d or S400d diesel, or an S500 petrol, which also gets mild-hybrid assistance. There’s also the plug-in petrol-electric S580e with a combined might of 503bhp, the ability to travel up to 64 miles in electric-only mode, and a more manageable company car tax bill than the combustion-only models.
- 2024 Range Rover SUV
The latest, fifth-generation Range Rover is a very long way from the farm truck that was the first-ever Range Rover. It is now a fully-fledged luxury car, one that trades some of the other entries’ on-road dynamics for unbelievable off-road ability, and 2024 stands out in every way.
It features Land Rovers MLA-Flex architecture, which has an 80% aluminium construction for lightness and strength (torsional rigidity is up 50% over the old car). In combination with finely honed air suspension, 48V active anti-roll bars, and the availability of four-wheel steering, this Range Rover handles with assured precision and surprising agility.
It’s also quiet on the move and has a sumptuous ride that steamrolls awkward topography into submission. Some of the other cars on this list are even more refined, though. Especially on big wheels, a bit of thumping and the odd shimmy from the body can disturb the serenity slightly.
Its maker’s lately added straight-six diesel engines are carried over from the old model and, with mild-hybrid assistance, offer all the urge you will need and emit only a faint murmur even when extended.
- 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS
For the 2024 EQS, Mercedes-Benz is taking a rather different approach to its flagship EV saloon from its BMW rival. Where the BMW 7 Series and BMW i7 share a platform, the S-Class and the EQS are entirely different cars.
The quiet running of an EV undoubtedly suits a luxury car, and the EQS is quite the engineering achievement. With a drag coefficient of 0.20, it uses the lack of air vents to good effect, and in combination with a massive 120kWh battery, that helps it to achieve a real-world range of close to 400 miles in Mercedes EQS 450+ guise. It’s roomy, quiet, luxurious, and it rides reasonably well, too.
- 2024 Audi A8
The 2024 Audi A8 is one of the older cars on this list. The current generation was always a bit behind its peers for refinement, and although the A8’s quality interior feels like it was built to outlast civilization, it lacks the sense of occasion of the latest BMW 7 Series or Range Rover.
However, a facelift in 2022 has allowed Audi to add more technology to its flagship limousine. While all A8s have adaptive air suspension, the sportier, V8-powered S8 features what Audi calls Predictive Active Suspension, which mixes forward-facing cameras with a height-adjustable air suspension set-up that incorporates fast-acting electromechanical actuators at each wheel.
There’s a choice of turbocharged engines – a 282bhp diesel or 335bhp petrol – with four-wheel drive as standard and a 48V electrical system that gives it mild-hybrid capability. Higher up the model range, you will find the tax-saving six-cylinder petrol Audi A8 60 TFSIe, whose refinement and effortless responsiveness boost the appeal of the car’s driving experience.
- 2024 Range Rover Sport
The last Range Rover wasn’t a small car, but the new 2024 Range Rover Sport is truly huge and a thing of luxury. Four-wheel steering and straight sides make it manageable, but you might just want the Range Rover experience in a slightly smaller package.
The Range Rover Sport shares much with its full-sized sibling, not least its outstanding mechanical refinement and luxury appeal. Where the Sport distinguishes itself is its capacity to control its considerable mass, to sharpen the precision of its responses, and to distinguish itself as something of a driver’s car. While it is still an undemanding vehicle to drive, it is also tactile and at least a little communicative.
- 2024 Mercedes AMG S63
The 2024 AMG S63 supersedan is back in a major way. Making use of the Mercedes-Benz S-class’s seventh-generation architecture, the S63 brings the glitz with more go than ever thanks to a new plug-in hybrid powertrain. Mercedes has dropped the previously offered coupe and convertible body styles and will offer the S63 as a sedan only, at least for now. Under the bonnet sits a familiar twin-turbo V-8 that, with the help of AMG’s rear electric motor, now produces a combined 791 horsepower and an astounding 1055 pound-feet of torque for its all-wheel drive system to try to put to the road.
To ensure the S63 can get to speeds high enough to escape rising interest rates, AMG will allow its big-battery luxury sedan to reach speeds up to 180 mph. The S63 is a PHEV that uses a 10.5-kWh battery pack and is said to be good for about 17 miles of electric-only range per charge. The onboard charger is capable of juicing the battery at up to 3.7 kW, which, unlike the S63, isn’t quick at all.
For the 2024 model year, the priorities include comfort. It also includes an opulent cabin with distinctive AMG upholstery and stitching. A Dolby Atmos audio system comes standard and offers a 360-degree audio experience. The car’s 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster provides a bright and clear roster of driving info, but the real magic happens on the standard 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen that’s vertically mounted on the dashboard. Road noise cancellation and rich interior materials make the S63 an experience most only taste from limos.
- 2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom
There’s no doubt that the 2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom made it to the list of 2024 incredible luxury cars. It’s powered by a 6.75-litre V12 petrol engine, which produces 563bhp and a satisfying 900Nm of torque. This allows you to put your right foot and accelerate from a standstill to 62mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. On the road the Phantom is unbelievably quiet and comfortable, but should you find yourself in the driver’s seat, you will have a mixture of features to make sure you enjoy your time there.
The interior is designed with acres of wood, metal accents, and vast expanses of supple leather covering the cabin, which is no surprise for a car of this class. But there’s so much more like you can specify custom artwork in place of the standard instrument panel trim. Rolls-Royce offers both a standard- and long-wheelbase version of the Phantom, the latter stretched by 8.6 inches, much of which results in additional rear-seat legroom.
- 2024 Mercedes-Benz G63
Based on the already existing Mercedes-Benz G-class, the 2024 model also takes that slab-sided paramilitary style and injects a 577-hp twin-turbocharged V-8. In terms of on-road speed, it’s quicker than other SUVs in its category.
Although the G-class’s basic square-shouldered profile remains, the interior benefits from the same high-quality materials, and tech and convenience accoutrement that dot the Mercedes lineup. There’s leather upholstery, a 12.0-inch digital instrument panel, cupholders, and a surround-view camera system. Heated front and rear seats, and leather-bound AMG steering wheel also make the standard list. Taller drivers and passengers will find plenty of head- and legroom in both the front and rear.
- 2024 Lexus LX
For 2024, Lexus is back again with the Lexus LX which is regarded as one of the best luxury cars of 2024 by consumers. The 2024 LX600 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V-6 engine that makes 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive are both standard.
Inside, the LX gushes with luxury, starting with a wide centre console between the front seats that creates a cosy cockpit environment. Quilted leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, wood trim, and smoked-chrome accents imbue the LX’s cabin with a luxe ambience.
The front thrones earn top marks for comfort although they can’t give you a massage, unlike those in most other luxury SUVs. The entry-level Standard trim comes with room for five in two rows of seats; the mainstream Premium, Luxury, and F Sport trims come with a third row that increases passenger capacity to seven.
Also, its Ultra Luxury model is more for those who want to be chauffeured around, as with a four-seat layout, the third row features dual reclining captain’s chairs in the second row divided by a centre console, plus rear-seat entertainment displays and wireless smartphone charging capability.
Conclusion
These are the top 2024 luxury cars with the best quality and features. These vehicles have been remodified for the 2024 model year, and are equipped with features that could not be found even in their 2023 models that are barely a year old.
