FAQs about luxury vehicles

There are multiple luxury car brands, including Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and Porsche.

Luxury cars are typically higher-end vehicles with more features, higher-quality materials, and better performance than non-luxury cars. That said, the line is blurred as many mainstream brands are offering similar features on high-end trim levels, giving luxury brands a run for their money.

In general, luxury cars tend to cost more to operate than non-luxury cars. This is due to the fact that they usually require higher-grade fuel, more expensive oil changes and maintenance, and more frequent repairs.

Additionally, luxury cars typically have higher insurance premiums than non-luxury cars as replacement parts may not be available in as widespread a manner.

To create our "Most Reliable" lists, our analysts pull the top most reliable vehicles—in order—according to RepairPal rankings.
