If you’re a smart shopper, then you know true luxury stands the test of time. That’s why buying a luxury vehicle when it’s brand new rarely makes sense. You pay all the high taxes, fees, and other costs associated with a luxury vehicle, only to see your model rapidly depreciate within the first few years. But, when a model is more than just a trend, it’s going to remain a highly sought-after vehicle for years to come, so exploring used cars for sale from luxury brands is the way to go.
We carry a variety of luxury vehicles that have consistently topped best-of lists in the luxury space. Boasting timeless looks, premium interiors, advanced technology, and inspiring performance, these models give you that “treat yourself” feeling each time you slide into them. Today, we’d like to highlight three exceptional models: the BMW X5, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the Lexus NX. We believe that no matter what your unique vehicle needs are, you’ll find the piece of luxury you’ve been after below.
BMW X5 (Third Generation 2014-2018)
If you need substantial passenger and cargo space but don’t want to sacrifice sophistication and exciting performance, consider a used BMW X5. The third generation is a terrific one to consider. Its models are available in five- or seven-seat configurations. So you can stick to the SUV’s midsize roots, maintaining dimensions that are good for city streets and small(ish) parking spots. However, if you need extra space—whether for a big family, colleagues, or friends—the three-row, seven-seater is an excellent choice.
Drivers love the BMX X5 for its impressively sporty feel. Even though SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, in recent years, the SUV market seems to be flooded with vehicles that feel more like cavernous spaceships than performance-oriented champions. The X5 puts the Sport in Sport Utility Vehicle, with several powerful engine options. In fact, many of our drivers are impressed with how many engine options are available, given the vehicle category. You’ll find not only turbo diesel and V8 powertrains in this generation, but you can even get a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) X5. So, if you’re concerned with fuel economy when getting a bigger vehicle, the PHEV can eradicate those worries with excellent fuel efficiency.
Inside the BMW X5, you’ll find upscale materials, like wood trims and leather upholstery, that come together to create a truly VIP look and feel. We often recommend this model to parents and professionals who need a practical vehicle but want something that feels like a retreat at the end of the day. Its impressive technology also makes it terrific for busy individuals. With highly responsive touch screens, smartphone compatibility, and quality sound systems available, the BMW X5 is sure to satisfy the needs of tech lovers. Third-generation models are available in RWD or AWD, so drivers can tackle inclement weather with confidence.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class (Fifth Generation 2017-2023)
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a midsize sedan boasting AWD, which is not something you see every day in this vehicle category. That’s why we love to recommend this stunning sedan to drivers who are looking for something stylish enough for urban environments but also ready to tackle wet roads. What’s quite special about this model is that it’s actually not only available as a sedan. You can find it as a coupe or wagon, too. So whether you’re looking for something peppy and sporty, something family-friendly, or something with an executive look, you can access the E-Class’s undeniable sophistication.
The E-Class is known for its comfortable interior, which will keep passengers of all ages content. Like all Mercedes-Benz models, you’ll notice the little things that make a big difference, like ambient lighting, masterfully placed storage parts, and soft-touch surfaces. With leather upholstery and wood paneling, it boasts a beautiful cabin style lovers will appreciate. The comfort doesn’t only come from the materials, though; this model is also known for delivering an incredibly smooth ride. With a suspension designed to masterfully absorb shocks, it feels like you’re floating on a cloud — even when the city hasn’t cleaned up those potholes.
The E-Class is more than just the perfect vehicle to impress clients or socialites—it has firmly earned itself a place in the performance space. Drivers love its impressive acceleration and its diverse selection of engines. You’ll feel safe while enjoying the vehicle’s inspiring performance, too, thanks to tons of driver assistance features, like well-placed cameras, Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and an Attention Assist system. Some models even have PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist, which can steer you into tight parking spots.
Lexus NX (First Generation 2015-2021)
Looking for a stylish compact SUV? If you need good fuel economy and an easy-to-park, city-friendly vehicle, but you want a little towing power and helpful ground clearance, consider the Lexus NX. The Lexus NX is the epitome of function meets style. It’s undeniably sporty, available in AWD or FWD, and offering up to 2,000 lbs of towing power. So if you’re someone who appreciates a premium look, inside and out, but also loves some rugged adventures that call for campers or boats, the Lexus NX could be for you.
Inside, you find leather surfaces and comfortable seats. Power front seats make it easy for the driver and co-pilot to get into their ideal positions. With smartphone connectivity, voice-activated commands, and available wi-fi, the NX can feel like your virtual assistant at times, making it terrific for busy professionals.
As for performance and fuel economy, you can pick your own adventure with this model. Like with all Lexus models, you’ll know what’s under the hood, thanks to figures in the name. The NX 200t is your 2.0-liter turbo engine, while the NX 300h is the hybrid. So if you want the best fuel economy this model offers, you’ll be looking at that 300h model.
