Used Executive Cars for Sale

Executive Cars

Shopping for a comfortable luxury sedan or estate that can munch motorway miles like a walk in the park but also be frugal on fuel, so it doesn’t burn a huge hole in your wallet? An executive mid-size sedan with a hybrid/diesel/electric powertrain featuring a rich cabin, extensive equipment and competent sound insulation is the best car for the job!

The executive car segment is dominated by European sedans, mostly from German brands such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. However, there have also been some new players to the space, like the all-electric models from Tesla. They are great long-distance cruisers with a well-appointed cabin, infotainment and other modern features that will make your everyday commute that much easier. Plus, they are perfect as a company car and for corporate/professional use.

Executive Car buying guide

Executive cars are typically some of the most technology-laden models on the market, and if you're looking at buying one, the first thing you should check is that everything works as it should. Mainly, all the tech features, like the main touchscreen system, digital displays, audio system, driver aids, air suspension, electric and heated seats, etc.

With executive cars being made from more expensive parts, it's worth factoring in the higher running costs that come with these when budgeting. Since executive cars also spend a lot of time on motorways, expect higher than average miles on used cars, but these miles should be documented well with a full-service history from a dealer or an independent garage. If you are looking for diesel executive cars, make sure you require a ULEZ-compliant Euro 6 diesel for your commute or use. These cars are built to do a lot of miles, but depending upon the model, there might be specific areas to check, such as timing chains/belts, cooling system, subframe corrosion, EGR issues, etc.
