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 – the main touchscreen system and digital dials being two things that should be inspected.

With executive cars being made from more expensive parts, it's worth factoring in the higher running costs that come with these when budgeting. Have a good check over for damage to the panels and wheels, as this will likely cost more to fix than a more run-of-the-mill car.

  • Why buy a executive car?

    If you're a little bit fed up with your mainstream brands and fancy something a little bit more special and upmarket, then an executive car is a fantastic choice. Typically premium saloons, executive models offer a certain level of prestige that run-of-the-mill options just can't offer and benefit from more powerful engines and generally plusher and better-equipped interiors. Though they do incur more expensive price tags, they often hold their value quite well in the long run.

  • Which executive car should I buy?

    The executive car class is absolutely dominated by German brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes which take up a large percentage of sales. However, there are plenty of more left-field firms to consider as well, with Volvo, Lexus and Jaguar all proving appealing options.

    There is also an increasing number of hybrid and electric choices on offer in this class, with BMW's 330e plug-in hybrid proving very popular. While if you fancy an electric executive car, the Tesla Model 3 is the key leader here.

  • What's the difference between an executive car and a luxury car?

    There's quite a lot of overlap and blurred lines when it comes to classing a car as 'executive' or 'luxury'. Typically, however, executive cars are smaller. If we take a look at Mercedes, for example, its C- and E-Class models are classed as 'executive', while its flagship S-Class is placed into the 'luxury' segment.In essence, executive cars perfectly bridge the gap between mainstream cars and luxury models.

  • Can I buy an executive car that's an SUV?

    Generally, when an 'executive car' is mentioned, it's related to what's called an E-segment saloon – including the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class – which are different to SUVs.However, many executive saloons share things in common with premium SUVs – the latest Mercedes GLC, for example, is based on the same underpinnings as the brand's C-Class.

  • Can you get sporty executive cars?

    Executive cars are a popular choice for manufacturers to make sportier versions of, particularly when we take a look at the German brands.BMW's 3 Series transforms into the M3 when it gets the racier treatment, and likewise, the Mercedes E-Class becomes the Mercedes-AMG E63. These models are unsurprisingly much more expensive to buy, but still get that high-quality cabin, just with plenty more performance and driving thrills to boot.
