Have You Seen These New Luxury Sedans?
There are many luxury sedans on the market. Nearly every car manufacturer has a luxury sedan in their line up of offerings. These types of cars are a popular choice for consumers who want a balance between affordability, sophistication, and power.
Most luxury sedan manufacturers choose one feature to focus on and perfect. Some focus on high tech features that amaze even expert critics while others focus on performance with nimble drive trains. At the base of all luxury sedans is an air of refinement and premium quality aimed at elevating your driving experience.
Below are the top 5 new luxury sedans available on the market.
2020 Infiniti Q70L
The 2020 Infiniti Q70L is considered the best well-rounded new luxury sedan. Wrapped into one shiny sedan, it offers a little bit of everything that you will find in other vehicles of its class. It’s powerful and quick and has all the high-tech features of a European luxury model. However, it is surprisingly affordable with a base MSRP of just $50,100.
With over four different model trims, the 2020 Q70L has a plethora of options. The base model has a V6 engine that has an all-wheel drive package.
Another option is the 5.6-liter V8 which has an all-wheel drive package available as well. Unfortunately, unlike some of its competitors, the Q70L doesn’t go nearly as far on a single tank of gas, with a best record of only about 25 miles per gallon on the highway.
The exterior is gorgeous with paneling, bubble head lights, and polished dual exhaust tips. Inside you will find wood grain and supple leather that feels expensive and buttery. It can establish connections between its sixteen speaker Bose audio system and just about every device you can imagine, from CDs, Bluetooth, Apple, and USB.
It has a top pick safety rating from the IIHS. It can assist in everything from parking to driving on crowded urban streets and there are four cameras onboard the vehicle.The 2020 Q70L simply feels luxurious.
2020 Cadillac CT6
The 2020 Cadillac CT6 is a fine example of what happens when an American car manufacturer takes a page from the European luxury car manufacturer’s book. The CT6 has garnered plenty of critical acclaim from its style packages. It was named by the Digital Trends Car Awards as the “Luxury Car of the Year.” Called “handsome, swift and cleverly built” by Wall Street Journal. Claimed by Automobile Magazine to be “the most advanced and luxurious Cadillac ever.”
And they aren’t lying. The 2020 Cadillac CT6 for starters, is surprisingly inexpensive. It is in the same category as mid-sized sedans, with a basic trim starting at $54,500. When it comes to interior amenities, it gives you value for your money.
Let’s take a look at some of the interior features that are available with the Platinum package. The front seats have twenty different settings and even the rear bench has individual reclining seats. The cabin is separated into four distinct climate zones, and you can control each one independently.
For music lovers, the thirty-four Bose speakers with the panaramic sound system turn the interior of the CT6 into a private concert hall.
It’s difficult to look past the amazing CT6’s interior, but its drive train is less than striking. The bar is extremely high in the engine category, but the available 404 horsepower twin turbo on the CT6 feels a bit too much for such a vehicle.
2020 Volvo S90
The Volvo S90 has an advantage over almost all other luxury sedans on the market when it comes to safety features. It was engineered to rival the high-end luxury sedans, like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series. The Volvo S90 has a starting MSRP around $51,000.
It has all the luxury trimmings buyers expect, like a premium sound system, premium leather interior, and a large central touchscreen. The interior is quite minimal compared to other luxury sedans, and It is a bit sluggish and labored at high speeds, but it compensates for that in other areas.
It comes with a semi-autonomous driving feature called Pilot Assist. This feature can take over driving on long road trips. And there is more. It has radar, cameras and sensor systems that help you from drifting out of your lane and keeps you from running off the road. These active safety features can also detect pedestrians and cyclists close to your vehicle.
You can also let the automatic Park Assist feature park the vehicle for you if you’re in a crowded parking lot and don’t trust yourself to squeeze into that tight corner spot. The 2020 Volvo S90 is a great car that puts safety first.
2020 Acura TLX
The Acura TLX is an advanced vehicle with a penchant for high-level innovation that maximizes your experience while driving. That’s what makes it different from other luxury sedans in this year’s releases. It has two different engine configurations to choose from: a beefy V6 and an inline four-cylinder. The major contrast between these two packages is a huge increase in horsepower: 206 horsepower from the 2.4 liter inline 4 and 290-horsepower upgrade is obtainable from the 3.5-liter V6.
A standard in the 2020 TLX inline 4 is the industry’s first 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The V6 has two different powertrain options: a premium advanced torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system or a sporty 9-speed paddle-shifter. Both V6 options provide a thrilling driving experience with a combined 25 miles per gallon, without paying too much at the gas station.
It has one of the best handling packages found in any luxury sedan. That’s because the all-wheel drive TLX has sensors all around the chassis that analyze everything from power distribution to individual wheel speed and G-force to steering angles. The TLX allows you to let loose behind the wheel by studying the road for you.
Due to their uniqueness and competitive nature, these luxury sedans are standout offerings for 2020. For starters, their starting price is from $55,000, but can rise to about $75,000.
