Luxury sedans provide comfort, advanced technology and higher re-sale value than economy cars. Luxury sedans are built with features not offered in standard sedans such as leather interiors, high-tech navigation and engine systems, and other new technology. Because of added extras, luxury sedans can cost five times as much, or more, than economy sedans. For example, according to Automotive, an autos website, the 2010 Toyota Corolla, a popular economy sedan, sells for approximately $18,000 whereas the 2010 Lexus LS600h L sells for more than $100,000.
Price
Price is an important consideration when comparing luxury sedans. Popular brands such as Cadillac, Lexus, Infiniti, Acura and Mercedes market models whose base prices range between $33,000 and $60,000. Options and trim packages can easily send actual transaction prices another $20,000 higher. Higher-end luxury car models from brands such as Jaguar cost between $50,000 and 95,000 dollars. The final price you pay for a luxury sedan can be impacted by loan and lease terms and by the amount you negotiate off the sticker price.
Features
Compare luxury cars by the features that are most important to you. For example, if you live in an area with varying weather conditions, narrow your search to luxury sedans with all-wheel-drive capability. Then compare each of the all-wheel-drive models according to the next most important feature: Is interior or exterior size important? Seat comfort? Stereo system quality? Driving performance? Advanced technology systems such as computer connectivity, vehicle security and navigation systems? Determine what's most important to you to narrow your choices.
Gas Mileage
Luxury sedans such as Lexus, Lincoln, Cadillac and BMW offer hybrid models alongside gas-powered models. Compare fuel usage to determine which best meets your needs. Pay close attention to hybrid luxury sedans to determine which cars gets the best fuel economy if you'll do mostly in-town driving. If you'll do plenty of highway driving, a gas-powered car may ultimately save money.
