Beste Luxusautos 2026

The M760Li combined a 602bhp twin-turbo V12 with a long-wheelbase 7 Series body, the rare combination of ultimate luxury and genuine performance in a single machine. Only the most attentive passenger would notice the sporting intent lurking beneath the refinement.

Alpina's B7 is the thinking driver's super-saloon, hand-assembled in Buchloe, fitted with a 608bhp twin-turbo V8, and given an air suspension calibration so accomplished that it remains serene at 200 mph on a German autobahn.

The i7 M70 is BMW's declaration that electrification and luxury are not just compatible but complementary: 671bhp, a 31-inch theatre screen for rear passengers, and a ride quality so accomplished it renders the question of fuel type irrelevant.

The first-generation Ghost was conceived as a smaller, more driver-focused Rolls-Royce, a relative term that still implies 592bhp, 2,500 kg of hand-crafted aluminium, and an interior that took months to complete at the Goodwood atelier.

The S680 sits at the summit of the Maybach range, a twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 producing 621bhp in a long-wheelbase body where rear-seat passengers travel in conditions that embarrass business class. Silence is the primary performance metric.

Only 300 were made. The S650 Cabriolet combines Maybach's rarefied sense of occasion with open-air motoring, a 621bhp V12, a four-seat convertible layout, and the kind of hand-finished detail that takes weeks per car to achieve.

The Escalade-V redefines the performance SUV with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 682bhp. It is the full-size American luxury statement taken to its logical extreme, stadium-sized interior, theatre screens, and supercar performance.

The second-generation Ghost introduced 'post-opulence', a philosophy of understated luxury that replaced visible ostentation with the kind of restrained perfection that requires close examination to fully appreciate. At 592bhp, the performance is equally discreet.

The Range Rover SV is the British luxury establishment's answer to the question of what the ultimate SUV should be: 607bhp, a commission process that rivals bespoke tailoring, and an interior that redefines what a production car can offer.

The third-generation Flying Spur represents Bentley's most sophisticated execution of the four-door luxury GT formula, a 592bhp W12 engine, all-wheel steering, and an interior that justifies the most exacting scrutiny of any production car.
