Dependability, reliable service, economy and, above all, safety are key factors when looking to transport passengers.
These extremely advantageous qualities can be found in contemporary luxury passenger vehicles alongside passenger comfort and space, as well as exhilarating power and nimble, dynamic handling.
Automotive design has advanced to keep up with the tastes and demands of discerning motorists. As these vehicles have become lighter, faster and more powerful, cutting edge technologies in vehicles safety and innovative efficient design has resulted in a vehicle that is as luxurious for the passenger as it is exhilarating to the driver.
Advanced passenger safety
Luxury passenger vehicles are manufactured to the very highest safety standards and incorporate a number of technological innovations that enhance vehicle safety.
Safety technologies that are part of luxury passenger cars include high performance headlights to provide superior visibility in all weather conditions, rain sensors to automatically control windscreen wipers, and a variety of sophisticated driver assistance technologies.
Even the frames of these vehicles have made innovative advances through incorporating a light but very strong aluminium frame structure.
Exhilarating power and control
Luxury passenger cars need sharp handling and high-performing engines. Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber of their powerful engines, achieving more effective cylinder filling and compression ratios than on engines with conventional injection. This direct fuel injection combined with turbo charging comes in petrol models and turbo diesel versions, each able to deliver outstanding power on less fuel.
For drastically improved steering precision a dynamic steering system improves straight-line directional stability by altering the steering ratio depending on the vehicle speed. In addition, it simultaneously adjusts the steering torque to match the ratio for a more precise steering feel and better road surface feedback.
Innovative efficient technologies
Along with the light frame and efficient engines, various other innovative efficiency technologies round out the luxury passenger vehicle. Modern luxury vehicles boast impressive efficiency, economic motoring and sustained performance.
Stop start technologies that switch off the engine while the car is at rest and immediately restart as a gear is engaged can go a long way towards cost-effective and resource-conscious motoring. The energy recovery system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy when the car is coasting or braking. An enhanced driver system is also included which provides computer-monitored recommendations to help motorists drive with optimal efficiency.
Luxurious comfort and space
These passenger vehicles really shine in their luxury car interiors, build quality and luxurious materials. State-of-the art electronic equipment, including a high-end sound system, as well as features like climate-control and heated seats combine to create an optimum environment for passengers.
These innovative technologies provide luxury performance and a much more economical drive to the luxury passenger class while still ensuring the highest levels of safety.
