Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2024

Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022: Only the ultra-rare, ultra-expensive, and ultra-luxurious four-wheeled vehicles are included in Autocar’s super-luxury chart.

A few of the most demure and attractive SUVs in the world also make the cut. The majority of the contenders here are limousine saloons enormous enough to make the typical three-bedroom semi-detached house look modest. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

If you desire the utmost in grandeur, elegance, sense of occasion, and bestowed status from your automobile, this is the market for you. There are no automobiles available for less than six figures, and one or two may even exceed seven figures. It would be the ultimate turnoff for frequent clients of the ultra-luxury class if they were refused the option of doubling the price of their car by customizing it.

So, if you enjoy the thought of being chauffeured around like Lord Sugar in a car that makes you feel 10 feet tall and you can afford the best that life has to offer, you are indeed fortunate. Here’s what your chauffeur should order.

Best ultra-luxury automobiles currently on sale

1. Rolls-Royce Phantom

Rolls-Royce replaced the biggest and most opulent luxury automobile in the world in 2017 and was greeted by our road testers with a five-star road test shortly thereafter.

Owners will adore it at least as much for the ostentatious display of wealth and prestige it affords as for the unparalleled sense of occasion that accompanies travel in one. However, despite the fact that few will ever realize it, the newest Phantom is also a rare pleasure to drive. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

Its supremely comfortable and uniquely isolating ride comfort can be experienced from the rear seats and is unlike anything else you’ll find in a car: gently loping and deliciously indulgent-feeling, but also supremely quiet and smooth, despite Rolls-installation Royce’s of the latest run-flat tyre technology.

The precision feel and perfect weight of the car’s large-rimmed steering wheel, as well as the ease with which you can place such a large vehicle on the road, its tolerance for whatever rate of progress best suits your journey, its supreme refinement and flexibility of its V12 engine, and the progressiveness of its throttle pedal on step-off, are all remarkable.

Even though it weighs over three tons, this vehicle will accelerate from 0 to 100 miles per hour and from 30 to 70 miles per hour through the gears faster than the previous Ford Focus RS. The engineering precision is simply amazing.

2. Rolls-Royce Ghost

Rolls-Royce drew a line in the sand with the introduction of the Ghost in 2009: the beginning of a transition that increased the company’s annual production volume from hundreds to several thousand vehicles.

Now in its second generation, the Phantom’s understudy has undergone considerable evolution. Whereas once the Ghost’s mechanical foundations were based from the BMW 7 Series, it now shares the same “Architecture of Luxury” platform as the Cullinan and Phantom. Rolls-mass Royce’s dampers for the front suspension and an active anti-roll bar for the rear axle bring ride quality closer than ever before to that of the Phantom.

However, although the Phantom is undoubtedly a vehicle for driving, the Ghost was designed as a vehicle for the wealthy driver, and its dynamic personality reflects this. Lighter, tauter-riding, and more nimble than the Phantom (perhaps due to its more compact proportions), it is more suited to daily driving on the UK’s congested roadways than its larger sibling. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

And yet, in terms of interior spaciousness, luxury atmosphere, and sheer material quality, the car is just marginally inferior to its larger sibling, embracing Rolls-new Royce’s “post-opulence” design philosophy inside and out. It is a mobile Neoclassical castle that can be utilized.

3. Bentley Flying Spur

Bentley’s four-door ‘Continental’-series limousine began its modern existence in 2006 as the Continental Flying Spur, only shedding the nomenclature prefix that connects it to Crewe’s current two-door GT with its most extensive model redesign to date in 2014.

However, the Flying Spur is now in its third generation, which is readily apparent from its bolder, more muscular appearance, which takes substantially from the most modern and aesthetically pleasing Continental GT coupe. The “junior” saloon from Crewe also benefits greatly from a new platform that was co-developed with Porsche and features four-wheel steering and active anti-roll bars. It also improves the cabin’s isolation from the road and offers the foundation for genuinely good driving dynamics. Grip, balance, and steering are significantly enhanced.

Obviously, there is the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12, which produces 626bhp and limitless torque and propels the vehicle from 0 to 62 mph in comfortably less than four seconds and on to a top speed of almost 200 mph. The Spur is also available with Bentley’s lighter, more freely revving V8 and the six-cylinder Flying Sur hybrid powertrain.

The Spur has never previously felt so complete and capable of fulfilling its function as a supersonic, luxury driver’s car. And a significant portion of that is still down to the cabin. Even though it is Bentley’s entry-level limousine, the Flying Spur’s interior has a truly opulent tone and feel, with its soft, exquisitely stitched leathers, genuine, natural veneers, and eye-catching, tactile metal brightwork.

4. Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is the modern standard-bearer for Daimler’s Maybach ultra-luxury brand. It is the most opulent and unique vehicle in what may be the world’s most generally appreciated and admired limousine lineup.

This is the product of Daimler’s strategy decision, made a few years ago, to widen the reach of the Maybach brand by producing ‘halo’ Maybach vehicles across some of its more standard Mercedes passenger car lines. The ultra-rare, Simon Cowell-specification, Maybach-exclusive 57 and 62 limousines were simultaneously condemned to oblivion. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

Consequently, the fact that this automobile is “merely” an S-Class may be both its greatest strength and its worst weakness. Compared to a Rolls-Royce or Bentley, an S-Class may lack drool-worthy curb appeal; yet, being an S-Class makes this car the beneficiary of all those modern active suspension and driver aid systems, which contribute to its superbly refined, luxurious, and cosseting nature.

The top S650 model’s 603bhp twin-turbocharged petrol V12 engine is scarcely loud, and its commitment to comfort and good manners is outstanding. The UK will also receive the 483bhp 4.0-liter V8 S580. With 18cm more length than even the long-wheelbase version of the ordinary S-Class, even the tallest passengers will have ample legroom.

5. Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Goodwood’s Marmite addition to the ultra-luxury market debuted in 2018 in response to a substantial amount of Rolls-Royce client input that a more daily-useable, all-terrain-capable, and family-friendly model would be a very welcome way to expand the company’s showroom lineup.

The Cullinan has received sufficient criticism of its design from all angles to cement the notion that its manufacturer took a huge risk in launching a vehicle that some have described as ungainly and unattractive and others have criticized in much harsher words. However, if Rolls-market Royce’s research is accurate, and a year’s worth of confirmed orders is a good indicator that it is, the collective disgust of people who wouldn’t have purchased a Cullinan anyhow will have little effect on its financial success.

There is certainly as much to enjoy about life aboard this vehicle as there is to dislike about its concept or design. This is a genuine Rolls-Royce, and its dynamic characteristics include exceptional mechanical refinement, unrivaled ride comfort, and remarkable driving dynamics. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

The Cullinan’s height-adjustable air suspension and BMW-derived four-wheel drive provide all the off-road capability that many owners are likely to want, and the Cullinan’s towing capacity is slated to expand to a more robust 3.5 tonnes in the near future. Which is perhaps plenty for a speedboat significantly more expensive than the automobile.

6. Bentley Bentayga

The Bentayga’s journey through the Autocar road test evaluation process was eventful. Being the first of a slew of £100,000-plus super-SUVs to hit the market in 2016, we initially rated it highly, with a few caveats, in W12-engined form, and then rated it even higher when Bentley introduced an Audi-sourced 4.0-liter, 429bhp turbocharged diesel V8 in 2017, which produced the same amount of torque as the twelve-cylinder petrol engine but with more manageable crankshaft speeds.

Then, in 2018, Bentley removed the Bentayga Diesel from sale in Europe, erasing what we believed to be the definitive form of the automobile. In the same year, a V8 gasoline model was added to the lineup, while a plug-in hybrid arrived in 2019. There is now also the Speed, a £182,000, 626-horsepower paean to extravagance, before the entire lineup was refreshed for 2020.

The Bentayga’s wonderfully plush interior, its swell of torque-laden performance, and its sense of imperious, uniquely enveloping luxury make it stand out even in this class, and these qualities may even be sufficient to convert a skeptic who was initially opposed to the concept of driving a luxury SUV.

It is not quite as comfy or isolating as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but it does offer a somewhat sportier driving experience at the sacrifice of a last shade of ride comfort. But the Bentayga gives out only a hint – an occasional indication of headtoss and the slightest fussiness over particular bumps at speed. Even if you regularly drive a luxury vehicle, there’s a chance you wouldn’t know what you’re missing.

7. BMW iX

The BMW iX is the closest thing we’ve seen so far to an all-electric superluxury vehicle with the performance, refinement, and versatility to truly dominate the road. This full-size SUV’s exterior design is contentious, and to some it may not be at all attractive. The iX should stand out for a variety of reasons to individuals who carefully consider the EV they wish to acquire, who care about the sustainability of its many components and production processes, and who dig a little deeper to uncover the appeal of a luxury vehicle.

This automobile features environmentally friendly olive-tanned leather, lightweight electrically excited motors that do not require large magnets, and North African and Australian metals for its drive batteries. The middle-sitting iX xDrive50 version has more than 500 horsepower, four-wheel drive, and a range of more than 300 miles, according to the manufacturer. In addition, there is the M60 model with 600 electric horsepower.

The iX’s first-class ride isolation and drivability, which place it on par with the other vehicles in this class despite being significantly less expensive than many of them, are its greatest strengths on the road. If you want to electrify the status sign on your gravel driveway, this is the way to achieve it right now.

8. Range Rover SVAutobiography

The elite, long-wheelbase vehicle As a luxury vehicle, Range Rover has gone a long way since the early days of the iconic SUV upon which it is based. The current SVAutobiography, which is hand-finished by Land Rover at its Special Operations base in Coventry, is 5.2 meters long and 2.6 tonnes at its heaviest point. It was designed to capitalize on the nascent market for ultra-expensive SUVs and the brand’s high reputation among select consumers, and it does so rather effectively.

Offering a choice of a petrol V8, a diesel V8, or a four-cylinder petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain, the SVAutobiography is a strict four-seater with ‘lounge’ rear seats, around each of which you can arrange a fold-out aluminium tray table, while a sliding panoramic sunroof contributes to the exceptional senses of light and space onboard. Additionally, the interior materials are softer and more expensive than those of the basic Range Rover. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

Ride comfort and isolation are both improved over that predecessor, although neither is quite in the league of the most refined cars in this segment; some sharper edges appear to push the structural limitations of the car’s underbody, causing a minor loss of ride composure.

9. Alpina Alpina B7

If you seek exclusivity, do not be deceived by the BMW emblem on the Alpina B7’s tall hood. Only the Mercedes-Maybach is as unlikely to be spotted on public roads as the other vehicles on this list, and the B7’s price of close to £200,000 after extras reflects this.

As always with Alpina, there are two sides to its version of a BMW vehicle produced in series. 600 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 indicate that the B7 is a direct replacement for the BMW M7. In terms of performance, this may be the case; the B7’s powertrain and suspension have been modified significantly to make it not just faster than any other 7-Series, but also more maneuverable.

However, the B7’s actual calling card is its mix of almost sportscar-like body control and a level of agility that is completely out of step with the luxury-saloon set. The only vehicle that surpasses it in this regard is the Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

Coming Soon-

Rolls-Royce Spectre

The Spectre will replace the Wraith coupe as the first all-electric vehicle produced by Goodwood. The vehicle could share drivetrain components with the premium BMW iX when it debuts in 2023, while little technical specifics are available.

Mercedes EQS 53

Mercedes’ top-tier EQS electric limousine is currently on sale in the United Kingdom, starting at a cool £155k, but we’ll reserve judgment until we’ve driven it on UK roads – ideally by summer 2022. Nonetheless, with 751 horsepower on tap and a design like a four-wheeled space shuttle, it may reach great heights. Watch this area for further updates. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )

Audi ‘Project Artemis’ Landjet

It is anticipated that the all-electric replacement for the present Audi A8 will surpass its predecessor in terms of desirability, design appeal, and technology, with ground-breaking semi-autonomous features. Using a brand-new model architecture being developed in collaboration with Bentley, it is anticipated to debut in 2024. ( Top 10 Best Super Luxury Cars 2022 )
