9-Rolls-Royce Phantom-£400,000
In 2017, Rolls-Royce replaced the grandest and most opulent luxury vehicle in motoring. Shortly after, our road testers welcomed it with a sparkling five-star road test.
Given the Rolls’ regal proportions and 21- or 22-inch wheels, the price is commensurately high; the lowest price you might anticipate to pay is north of £400,000. Even a cursory glance at the options list reveals that this number swiftly increases.
Although Rolls-Royce has fitted the newest run-flat tyre technology, the ride comfort is still supremely quiet and smooth, making it unlike anything else you’ll experience in a car. Its supreme comfort and singularly isolating ride comfort can be sampled from the back seats, of course.
8-Rolls-Royce Ghost-£208,000
The Rolls-Royce Ghost excels in terms of luxury and sophistication. Only two components from the previous model remain: the Spirit of Ecstasy perched atop the bonnet and the umbrellas tucked away inside the doors.Because of the Ghost’s 6.75-litre V12 petrol engine’s 563bhp, which enables a 0-62 mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph, you shouldn’t have to worry about merging from slip roads.
This new Ghost is the first ‘post-opulence’ Rolls-Royce, a philosophy that satisfies the demands of RR consumers who want to be less overt and obvious. by choosing their chosen blend of leather and lambswool and spending £208,000 before local taxes on a 5.5-metre long, nearly 2.5-ton saloon.
7-Bentley Flying Spur-£187,083
The prouder, more muscular look of the third-generation Flying Spur, which largely imitates the current, beautiful Continental GT coupe, makes this fact clear. A new platform that was co-developed with Porsche and incorporates four-wheel steering and dynamic anti-roll bars greatly enhances the performance of Crewe’s “junior” saloon as well.
A powerful 6.0-litre W12 petrol engine is available from launch, and it can accelerate the Flying Spur from zero to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. It’s quick, but it’ll also work smoothly and quietly when you just want to unwind. Later on, V8 petrol and V6 gasolinepetrol-electric hybrid engines will also be added to the lineup.
6-Bentley Bentayga-£155,675
The evaluation process for the Autocar road test for the Bentayga was dramatic. We initially rated it well, with a few caveats, when it was powered by a W12 engine in 2016. Then, in 2017, when Bentley introduced a 4.0-liter, 429bhp turbocharged diesel V8 from Audi, we gave it an even better rating.
The Bentayga stands out even in this class thanks to its wonderfully plush interior, swell of torque-laden performance, and sense of imperious, singularly enveloping luxury. These attributes might even be persuasive enough to convert someone who initially opposed the idea of living in a high-class SUV.
5-Mercedes-Maybach S650-£260,000
The S650’s twin-turbocharged petrol V12, which produces 621 bhp and 737 lb-ft of torque, is hardly audible, and it is outstandingly committed to comfort and good manners.
It should come as no surprise that the long-wheelbase variant is all about the back seat, which has enough legroom to relax while other drivers pass by in their less capable cars. The seats have heating and massaging features to increase comfort if even that proves to be too stressful.
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is the current standard-bearer for Daimler’s Maybach super-luxury brand. It is the most expensive and exceptional vehicle in what may be the most generally appreciated and admired limousine line in the world.
4-Rolls-Royce Cullinan-£250,000
This car’s interior has just as much to like about it as it has to not like about the concept or how it looks. This is a genuine Rolls-Royce, and its dynamic characteristics include exceptional mechanical refinement, unmatched ride comfort, and superb manoeuvrability.

A buttery-smooth twin-turbo V-12 with up to 592 horsepower is housed under a hood decorated with the Spirit of Ecstasy and connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include all-wheel drive and a cabin with plush padding and stillness that, at 70 mph, is indistinguishable from an isolation chamber.
3-BMW i7-£161,963
The vehicle was introduced in early 2023 in dual-motor, four-wheel-drive, xDrive60 form, providing it somewhat more than 500bhp and a useful battery capacity of slightly more than 100kWh for a real-world cruising range, as validated in our road test, of slightly less than 300 miles. However, the car’s DC rapid-charging capacity is outstanding, with a normal rapid charge averaging close to 150kW.
In addition to providing a quiet, isolated ride that feels exceptionally stable at highway speeds, an air-suspended chassis, four-wheel steering, and active anti-roll bars enable this car to handle with a degree of poise and balance that is unheard of in most cars of this size but typical of a BMW.
2-Rolls-Royce Dawn-£282,000
There is just 1 Petrol Engine available for the Rolls-Royce Rolls Royce Dawn. the 6598 cc petrol engine. It has an automatic gearbox option.The Rolls Royce Dawn’s mileage varies depending on the model and fuel type. The Rolls Royce Dawn is a four-seater, 12-cylinder vehicle with dimensions of 5285 mm in length, 1947 mm in width, and 3112 mm in wheelbase.
Super-luxury four-seat convertibles are an extremely uncommon class of vehicle. While Bentley has its Continental GTC and Mercedes has an open-top four-seat S-Class, Bentley formerly had the Azure drop-top. However, throughout the past ten years, Rolls-Royce has occasionally provided its model lineup with more than one four-seater super-cabriolet.
1-Range Rover-£191,860
Even though it doesn’t appear to be all that different from the model it replaced, the most recent Range Rover is unquestionably the best full-fledged luxury 4×4 currently available. The Luxury Car of the Year for 2022 has more amazing onboard technology than its predecessor, a greater range of available powertrains, and increased comfort. In fact, an entirely electric Range Rover is scheduled to debut in 2024.
Despite its enormous size, the Range Rover is simple to manoeuvre on the road thanks to outstanding visibility and precise driving, and the optional steerable rear axle provides unexpected agility in confined spaces.
