UK Car Discount Luxury Car Awards

    MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, November 14, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- UK Car Discount is proud to launch part three of our 2014 Car Awards. The awards are a combination customer input and our own professional knowledge, tapping into decades of experience.

Part three of the awards is dedicated the luxury end of the market:

Best Luxury Saloon - The Mercedes S-Class

The S-Class is considered by many people the most luxurious Mercedes model and is bursting with equipment, gadgets and tech, especially if you opt for the executive pack.. Engine choices are a V6 diesel, a V8 petrol and a petrol-electric hybrid unit, all of which offer an exceptionally quiet and smooth journey cruising on long journeys whether you're driving on a narrow country lane or speeding down the motorway.

When compared with similar Saloons in its class, the price-tag is a little high but for this amount of comfort, luxury and technology, you'll get what you pay for ... sheer quality!

Best Luxury Convertible - Porsche 911 Cabriolet

At the luxury end of the market there are some far more expensive rivals (the Ferrari California for example). We've chosen the 911 firstly because we still think it's a stunning vehicle but also offers excellent resale value for a car in its class (65-70% of value after three years) and it is surprisingly efficient for a sports car.

The Carrera S is our favourite, it's stunning and can propel you from 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds with its 394bhp of grunt! The car is immensely rewarding to drive offering a vast amount of cornering grip and precision steering.

Best Luxury Coupe - BMW M6 Gran Coupe

The 4 door BMW M6 Gran Coupe is the top-end 'M' Series, it's the most expensive and most luxurious available. It offers an impressive combination of an imposing large vehicle whilst delivering a superb sporty experience. That said it is more practical that the standard coupe and convertible models offering plenty of leg room and extra cabin space and let's not forget the luxurious interior.

If you're going to go for the 'M' experience we think you might as well go for the Big Daddy of models it oozes luxury and it's quite fast too, 0-62mph in an impressive 0-62mpg in around 4.2 seconds!

Best Luxury 4x4 - The Range Rover Sport (Supercharged)

The newest range Rover Sport packs more luxury, comfort than ever before whilst at the same time being the more efficient than its predecessor. The Sport model fills the gap between the compact Range Rover Evoque SUV, and Big Daddy of the range the more traditional Range Rover model.

Putting running costs to one side for the full Sport experience our favourites are the 5.0-litre V8 petrol models. The standard V8 boasts 503bhp and it can take you from 0-60mph in a very quick 5 seconds, quite the experience in such a muscular car. The SVR model ramps up the power even further offering 542bhp and 0-60mph in nearer 4.5 seconds.

The Range Rover Sport combines superb luxury with an exciting driving experience whilst retaining a lot of the traditions of Range Rover.

Best Outright Luxury Car - The Rolls Royce Phantom

The flagship Phantom is still every bit the quintessential luxury British car and when all said and done in keeping with tradition we think for the full experience you need to be in the back of the car as a passenger rather than driving the car yourself!. Hand-built to the ultimate standards at the Goodwood factory in England the Phantom oozes luxury.
The Phantom is stunning and imposing in equal measures in all its guises, the saloon, extended-wheelbase saloon, coupe and the drop-head cabriolet. It is beautifully crafted from the finest materials combined with some traditional and quirky Rolls Royce features like rear hinged doors and self-levelling badges in the wheels.
The Phantom's V12 6.8 litre engine pulls the considerable bulk of the Phantom along at an incredible rate capable of propelling the car from 0-62mph in around 6 seconds, quite an experience!

The Phantom is breathtaking!
