New Luxury Cars Review

Until only a few years ago, drivers in India could either buy a Hindustan Ambassador (basically, a late 1950s Morris Oxford) or . . . an Ambassador. This solid home-made workhorse is still being produced in mildly updated form and remains a very common sight on India’s streets, especially as a taxi. However, with the surging growth in the Indian economy and gradual relaxation of import controls, Indian drivers now have greatly increased choice in the marketplace. Far more Indians have rapidly rising incomes and, like many of their Western counterparts, they choose to spend at least some of it on top-of-the-range luxury autos.

The German manufacturers BMW, Audi and Mercedes are very popular brands in India, with their reputation for mechanical excellence and an international standard of luxury and comfort, These luxury models are packed with extras such as keyless locking, powered windows and in-car entertainment, as well as carrying advanced safety features, a not inconsiderable factor on India’s crowded and seemingly chaotic highways. Other popular luxury brands for those who wish to make a statement with their choice of car are Porsche, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Lexus and Rolls-Royce.

The following is a list of some advantages when buying a luxury car:

Making an Impression…

There is no denying that when a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bugatti Veyron or Audi R8 rolls past, all heads turn in admiration. These beautiful and expensive luxury autos make a clear statement about the financial position of their owners, imparting prestige, power and status (and not to mention good taste) in equal measure.

Beauty Combined with Brains

Luxury cars should perfectly combine beauty and brains, with excellent design married to precision engineering showing through in every detail. Above all, their overall appearance should make them stand out from everyday cars in other market segments. The engineering should become apparent as soon as the powerful engine comes to life, and this continues through the comfort and pleasure of the ride.

Safety Improvements

These luxury autos come with all the modern safety features, many of them pioneered in this market sector because of the extra initial cost. Airbags, antilock braking, traction and stability control and driver assist all had their roadgoing debut on expensive models before trickling down to the mass market to the benefit of all.

Maintenance that Cares

Luxury cars, by definition, are not cheap to buy or maintain, so manufacturers offer extended after-sales warranties for this sector, with deals such as four-year warranties and free check-ups. Luxury car owners are more likely to receive high levels of service from suppliers so that they feel vindicated in their decision to spend much more on their vehicles.

Personal Customizing

A further advantage of buying luxury cars is that it usually provides the opportunity to customize the detailed specification of your auto. From high-end in-car entertainment through to additional engine power, you can choose what you want rather than what the manufacturer decides to provide. Bugatti for example invites purchasers to their French facility to select every detail from paint finish, dashboard trim, air intakes, gear levers and upholstery, with a decent lunch no doubt included.
