What makes a luxury car?
The word luxury denotes a more prestigious, more expensive or more completely
outfitted vehicle. However the classification of luxury cars is very much
complex due to lack of a defined attributes, but most commonly a luxury car
constitutes elegant, lavish, and stylish design, comfortable sitting facilities,
and the price tag which is needed to own these cars. There are some common
features which are almost mandatory for a luxury car, like exclusively designed
interiors, leather sitting, powerful air-conditioning, latest audio-visual
instruments, and polished wooden dashboards.
Luxury Cars vs. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV's)
Some people think sports cars are an example of luxury car. This is true in case
of some exclusive designs like Chevrolet Corvette, but not for every sports car
models. All truly sports cars can't be described as a true luxury car in most of
the cases. Although some Crossover Utility Vehicles (CUV's) which are wagons
that look like sport utility vehicles but ride like cars, can be an example of
luxury cars. There are some brands which are true Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV)
but can be categorized as luxury cars due to their exclusive high end prices.
'Hummer' is an example in this category.
Following is a classification of SUV's based on their features and price:
Entry-Level Luxury SUVs must feature a base MSRP of approximately over $38k and
offer a high degree of comfort. A vehicle may however still be considered a
luxury SUV if its base MSRP lies in excess of approximately $29K and it is
manufactured by a luxury car manufacturer. Vehicles in this category include the
Acura RDX, Lexus RX, Infiniti EX, Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class, BMW X3,
Volvo XC60, and Saab 9-4 X, Land Rover Freelander, Cadillac SRX, Jeep Grand
Cherokee, Audi Q5 and Lincoln MKX.
Mid-Level Luxury SUVs feature base MSRP's ranging approximately between $40K to
$80K. Vehicles in this category include: Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne S, Acura MDX,
Cadillac Escalade, Volkswagen Touareg, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Mercedes-Benz
GL-Class, Volvo XC90, and Saab 9-7 X, Lincoln Navigator, Land Rover LR3, Land
Rover Range Rover Sport, Lexus GX, BMW X 5, Infiniti QX56, Toyota Land Cruiser,
Toyota Prado and Infiniti FX.
High-End Luxury SUVs feature base MSPs from approximately $80k to $120k.
Vehicles in this category include: Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Lexus LX, Porsche
Cayenne Turbo, and Land Rover Range Rover.
One thing which is common in all the brands and categories explained above is
the power and strength of engines. That is the reason behind use of these
automated horses as convertibles. Some vehicles like Lincoln Town Car, Bentley,
Hummer, and popular Luxury Sedan's are very much popular in this segment for
making Limousines. Lincoln Town Car is the most favorite among Limousine makers
