EVERY US Luxury Car Brand Ranked

The number of imposter luxury car brands is too high. To settle the score, we're ranking every US luxury car brand on a scale between Premium and Exotic Luxury. Find out where your favorite brand is on our Luxury Car Tier List as we go through the best luxury car brands.

LUXURY CAR BRAND TIER CRITERIA:
1. Average of the entire brand’s lineup in terms of luxury and assessment of “luxury” in the highest trim models available
2. Total time and overall history in the luxury car space
3. Quality over quantity
4. Having more customizations, options, and tailor-made choices as more luxurious
5. Consideration of performance and/or exotic models
6. Consideration of brand appeal and desire to own a vehicle within the brand

This tier list is based on my subjective opinion of common US premium and luxury car brands.

I watched this video cause it was recommended. I was surprised it had only 800 views. This looks easily like a video made by someone getting a consistent 150k views. Incredible work

Man put Bentley, cars with VW indicator stalks, in the same category as Bugatti.

Are sports cars like Ferrari considered luxury? They have none of the features or comfort of luxury cars

[ngarci]

Vw in the same sentence as Infinity & Acura…!?!

I don’t agree with Maserati because lately they are expensive for low quality

[mrdrico]

I drive a Genesis G90 Ultimate. People have mistaken it for a Bently. Everyone who gets in says it's better than a Mercedes and BMW. I've owned BMW's and Mercedes' and my Genesis is shitting on them. This car is a pure Luxury. Just because the brand doesn't have the "cache" doesn't mean they don't know how to make luxury cars.

He's based as all hell, but I agree with some of these picks

I mostly disagree with this list. GMC and VW shouldn't be here at all. ultra-performance should not be considered luxury because quality materials are inherent to building high-performance. some of these brands like tesla shouldnt be here either because they are considered hi-tech and not luxury

[ttwmpuz]

Here's what my list says
*Exotic Luxury*
Bugatti + similar boutique brands
*Ultra Luxury*
Maybach, Rolls Royce, Bentley
*Luxury*
Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren
*Mid-tier Luxury*
Cadillac, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Land Rover, Lotus, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo
*Premium*
Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Volvo, Genesis, GMC, Lincoln, Polestar, Mazda

Tesla ain't luxury. It has the interior of a 2000's kia. Don't get me started on the panel gaps.

[bgeorgy]

Why Tesla? what is luxury about it? premium materials? premium ride quality? WHY??? My take - Just a hype. Disagree? prove me wrong please, I am serious.

Lexus LC500 looks ugly as hell and their cars are just sad. BMW are incompetent, Merc is just a mess, Audi built quality is awful. Pretty much only OK luxury brand right now is Caddy and that's only when it comes to sedans. Their SUV's are terrible. Lotus is solid. Ferrari and Bugatti are overpriced as hell but good. Genesis will be great once cars go all electric. Others are not even with mention.

[IHitKidsWithRakes]

I think with luxury comer performance and Volvo makes a 450 hp Hybrid Beast in the S60 T8 I think you should bump it up one place

[sierrag]

GMC is definitely below Lincoln and Genesis. Mercedes are now below BMW and Audi for having the audacity to put the 2.0L Turbo 4 into AMG63 models
