    As time passes, each model of luxury automobile is responsible for keeping up with modern trends and automotive fashion. Thanks to social media platforms, the allure of luxury vehicles has never been more incredible, but getting and owning one isn’t as easy as pressing “post.”

    No matter your taste and style, before buying a luxury vehicle, you should know what insurance considers a sports car and what the average monthly cost is. Extra features and more zeros typically equate to increased manufacturing, buying, and insurance costs.

    Though that math has always held true, with innovative technology and the standards for the rich becoming richer, luxury has taken new forms.

    What makes a car a luxury vehicle in 2021?

    In the automobile industry, luxury qualifications aren’t as strict as the untrained eye mind might think. When qualifying a car as luxurious, there isn’t anyone feature to look for.

    Luxury vehicles are any kind of automobile with features that go above and beyond, but technology is continually raising the standards.

    In many ways, technological innovations have turned amenities into essentials or deal-breakers. Features such as powered windows, airbags, central locking, and reverse parking sensors were once markers of comfort but are now as essential as the wheels. Modern luxuries are now commonplace, making luxury models like the Aston Martin Valkyrie have to step up their game.

    A list of characteristics that are trademarked luxuries in the automotive industry include:

    • Anti-theft technology
    • Automatic safety features
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Infotainment systems
    • Integrated seat massagers
    • Natural trims such as wood, metal, or stone
    • Remote-controlled parking
    • Seat coolers
    • Scent systems
    • Starlight roofing
    • Water-resistant windows

    These features will pique any car buyer’s interest and give drivers some bragging rights, but luxury isn’t all about vanity. The perk of driving a luxury model car is that your vehicle is more likely to come equipped with additional safety features.

    Driving in style is always a plus, but safety and convenience do have the potential to save you money in the long run.

    What are the top 15 luxury car brands of 2021?

    Buying luxury is so much more than a status symbol. Whether you buy new, vintage, or classic, your vehicle is an investment for your financial future and your career. 

    You can’t evaluate how great a product is without knowing where it comes from and looking at who’s doing it the best. And even if you don’t think about it, remember that your car’s make and model impact your insurance rates, so choose wisely.

    A list of the top 15 luxury automobile brands, in alphabetical order, is:

    1. Audi
    2. Alfa Romeo
    3. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft)
    4. Bugatti
    5. Mercedes-Benz
    6. Ferrari
    7. Jaguar
    8. Maserati
    9. Porsche
    10. Rolls-Royce
    11. Tesla
    12. Lamborghini
    13. Land Rover
    14. Lexus
    15. Volvo

    These brands all stand out from the fleet as luxury because they keep up with automotive-style trends and consider service. Luxury car brands set themselves aside from others by predicting what their customers will want in the future. 

    A Summary of Luxury Car Features

    Trend prediction may seem like marketing 101; however, customer service and innovation typically raise the bar for how we drive. 

    A noteworthy example of luxury brands setting the tone is the recent announcement that all Lamborghinis will be hybrid by 2024, adding Lamborghini to the eco-friendly luxury list. Planning ahead for social causes such as global warming has proven to be successful for luxury brands such as Tesla, Lexus, BMW, and Audi.

    What’s new and shiny has a way of making old trails feel new again. Living in the 21st century, we now laugh at the idea of car phones and cassettes, but the history of luxury is due to needed adaptations.

    Remembering what is now standard was once new puts the values of modern-day luxury cars into perspective. When you think of Bluetooth, cruise control, and seatbelts, it may seem like nothing special, but before the 60s, most drivers were just happy to have air conditioning.

    Inventions such as seatbelts, hands-free technology, cruise control, power steering, and now self-driving cars have helped to keep us safer while on the road. Eye-catching features like skylights, sunroofs, and butterfly doors may catch our eye, but keeping ourselves and the environment safe has been the fundamental force driving the auto industry’s innovation.

    Car Features That Make Cars Look Luxurious

    No matter what car model you’re in, there are ways to make it look and feel a tad fancier. You deserve to feel confident on the road at every price point. Whether you’re designing a new car to order or sprucing up an older model, adding a few luxe features will take your ride to the next level.

    Some car changes might be time-consuming or expensive, but there are plenty of quick and economical ways to make any car feel high-quality.

    Paint Jobs

    One fast way to upgrade your car is to get a new paint job. This could drastically help you up the vehicle’s value if you’re looking to sell. The most luxurious car colours of 2021 are white metallic, black, grey, silver, gold, brown, blue, green, and orange, but whichever colour is your favourite is best.

    Replace the Shocks and Struts

    Luxury vehicles are known for their smooth rides. Installing better quality shocks or refreshing the ones you have helps absorb road bumps. Although you cannot see this change, you will be sure to feel it.

    New Seat Cushions and Trims

    Luxury-made vehicles are highlighted for using high-end materials such as wood, leather, stones, and suede. The great thing about those is that they are easily accessible. You can easily DIY your own upgrades or find covers and car bling accessories online.

    New Entertainment and Sound System

    Sound is a big deal for a vehicle. Luckily, if your car’s speakers or radio are lacklustre, they are easily replaced. Features like backup cameras and Apple Play are found in most auto and technology stores and don’t require professional installation.

    Replacing the speakers in your car if the ones you have are worn out will bring new life into your car and can cost anywhere from $40 to $300.

    Anti-Theft Technology

    Times have evolved since your uncle’s unattractive steering wheel anti-theft clutch brake lock. Anti-theft technology is a huge industry that provides a wide range of options from installations to apps. Another perk to having additional security for your vehicle is the deduction you can apply for on your insurance policy.

    How has the driving experience evolved?

    The auto industry has come a long way since steam engines in the 1700s. With driving becoming more comfortable, safe, and convenient, how society has grown is largely due to auto engineering evolution. 

    Luxury vehicles are exciting, but with more features and higher-priced models, there’s an ever-increasing need for quality insurance coverage. So, whether you’ve just got the keys to your dream car or are in the lane next to it, always having auto insurance is crucial.

    For getting you closer to the car of your dreams and keeping you in it, knowing what insurance and features help make the most of your driving is smart driving.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
