The Most Reliable Luxury Cars for 2024

<br />

(iSeeCars) – How reliable is the luxury car I want to buy? This question is high on the agenda for luxury car buyers, but with limited, objective, and free resources available to consult, it can be difficult to answer. iSeeCars’ objective, data-driven reliability rating, based on an in-depth analysis of over 312 million vehicles, addresses this information gap by calculating each luxury car model’s usable lifespan and its ability to last 200,000 miles or more. The luxury cars on this page are organized by luxury car segment and powertrain, allowing buyers on any budget to find a reliable model.

Regardless of the size and exterior shape, every luxury car must meet a minimum standard of premium features. These include a luxurious interior design, powerful engine options, advanced safety features, a smooth ride, and a high-tech infotainment system paired with a high-quality audio system, even on the base model. Optional all-wheel drive is another valuable feature for luxury car buyers who live in colder climates.

The best luxury cars also offer comprehensive warranty coverage (for at least five years), an uncompromising dealer experience, and relatively good fuel economy—despite their strong horsepower and capable performance. The advanced powertrain technology in today’s luxury cars often combines smaller four-cylinder engines with turbocharged induction, making for quick acceleration and impressive fuel economy. Turbocharged V6 engines offer even better performance, but the larger engine design lowers their MPG ratings.

If the price of the latest premium cars is a concern, consider buying older models. Many luxury brands offer Certified Pre-Owned programs, which give their used cars the same warranty coverage and peace of mind that new cars come with.

While luxury automakers are less often associated with long-term reliability than mainstream automakers, they should be held to the same, if not higher, standards considering the added cost that comes with all the luxury features. The iSeeCars Reliability Ratings can help focus buyers’ searches and guide them toward a long-lasting vehicle with the desired set of premium features.
