Another imposing SUV that more than holds its own against conventional luxury saloons, the Q7 blends peerless cabin quality with big family practicality and very comfortable air suspension.
The boot is big and so is the standard equipment roster: the 3.0 TDI 218 SE we recommend has satnav, twin-zone climate control and xenon lights. S line cars add sports seats, privacy glass and larger 20in alloy wheels.
1 Mercedes S-Class
Top of the luxury heap, and What Car?’s current Luxury Car of the Year, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has maintained its dominance over many years with each new iteration.
Whether you’re a driver or a passenger, you won’t find anything more luxurious to ride in. The S-Class will cosset you as comprehensively as a Rolls-Royce Ghost and relax you more effectively than a Range Rover.
Better yet, it’s one of our cheaper recommendations, with prices beginning at £68,870. The 350d L SE Line is our choice.
A benchmark achievement not just in the luxury class, but in motoring.
