Best cars for CEOs

So you've made it in life and now feel that this is the right time to treat yourself to an executive car to add a touch of class to your motoring experience.

The term executive car has become an umbrella term for any car that is big, comfortable and with a touch of luxury. These executive cars are often used as privates hire vehicles, mainly for airport runs across the UK.

As you would expect, the three big German manufacturers Audi, BMW and Mercedes dominate the executive car sector. Beyond Audi, BMW and Mercedes, the other dominant executive car manufacturers are Jaguar, Volvo and Lexus.


Audi A6

On the outside, the A6 could easily be mistaken for the popular A4, the shape of the A6 is very similar - it's just a little bigger.

The A6 boasts the usual fantastic build quality that we have come to expect from Audi and is packed with the latest tech.

Lease an A6 from: £357.61 p/m inc. VAT


Tesla Model 3

If you're looking to go green the Tesla Model 3 is certainly an executive saloon that should be on your shortlist. It's won multiple awards and is the best selling electric vehicle of 2021 (so far)!

Every conceivable function on the Model 3 is controlled by a 15-inch infotainment touch screen which doesn't make it a great choice if you're more on the old fashioned side of drivers.

The Model 3's range goes up to an impressive 360 miles which should be more than enough for the average driver.

Lease a Model 3 from: £464.40 p/m inc. VAT


BMW 5 Series

They don't call BMW's the Ultimate Driving Machine for no reason.

The 5 Series received excellent reviews from all of the leading car review sites, these included a 5/5 from What Car? and a 5/5 from Auto Express. It also offers buyers plenty of choices, there are saloon and estate bodies, a wide range of engines, a couple of plug-in hybrids, the option of BMW’s xDrive on most models and two performance-focused M versions.

Lease a 5 Series from: £323.35 p/m inc. VAT


Alfa Romeo Giulia

Often overlooked Alfa Romeo is one of the oldest and most well-respected manufacturers around. 

The Giulia is their flagship saloon which retains much of what Alfa Romeo is known for, brilliant looks and a fun driving experience, thanks to its 50/50 weight distribution. 

Lease a Giulia from: £377.45 p/m inc. VAT


Polestar 2

Lexus ES

The Lexus ES is a true budget executive car coming in with a starting price of only 34k. Although this is the first ES model to make it to the UK, this is actually the 7th generation.

A big bonus when going with a Lexus is that almost every model is helped along by a battery pack and an electric motor. The result is official CO2 that are more in line with a small hatchback than a big luxury saloon.

Lease a Lexus ES from: £371.75 p/m inc. VAT


Mercedes A-Class Saloon

The A-Class takes much of its technology from its bigger brother the S-Class. While the A-Class can't really compete with the likes of the Polestar 2 and Audi A6, the levels of refinement are excellent, just as you would expect from Mercedes.

Lease an A-Class Saloon: £274.79 p/m inc. VAT


Jaguar XF

The XF is another budget executive car coming in with a starting price of all 32k. Jaguar is a classic British manufacturer, and although the company has changed hands, their production plant remains in the UK.

The Jaguar XF offers brilliant reliability, class lead interior build quality and handling that can easily compete with the German-built alternatives.

Lease a Jaguar XF from: £449.40 p/m inc. VAT


Volvo S60

Look for something on the safe side? Volvo is a manufacturer who's known for its consistent 5-star safety ratings. Every car in Volvo's range has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

Like every other car in the Volvo range, the S60 offers excellent ride quality, a generous amount of space and high-end materials.

Lease a Volvo S60 from: £410.70 p/m inc. VAT


Skoda Superb

You may be surprised to see Skoda on this list but, the new superb has received near perfect reviews. Skoda is now a part of the Volkswagen Ground so, you can expect the usual brilliant quality that we see in all the Volkswagen's brands.

The Superb's interior has an upmarket feel and plenty of equipment and tech. The best part is the price, the Skoda Superb starts at only 24k.

Lease a Skoda Superb from: £277.08 p/m inc. VAT
