With a bigger budget comes greater responsibility and that is valid even for cars. $100.000 for a car gives you plenty of options. Car buying can be complicated and even for such a high budget, you should strive to get the best value for your money or at least a car that suits your personal needs.
1. Mercedes-Benz X Class
In terms of pickup trucks, the Mercedes-Benz X Class does not appear to have competition when looking at quality, comfort, and luxury. It is a well-built truck that feels less rugged and more comfortable than a regular pick-up truck. It is still more than capable of handing a good beating. The truck comes with a wide selection of powerful diesel and petrol engines that gives it a slight edge over the competition.
2. Tesla Model S
If you want to go full electric, there is no better choice than a Tesla. The Model S was released in 2012 and 8 years later, there is no other manufacturer that can match its performance in terms of horsepower, torque, and range. Depending on the spec, a Model S can range between $80.000 to $100.000. The Porsche Taycan may prove to be a worthy competitor but is can be twice as expensive as a Model S. There is no competition between the two when comparing prices and when it comes to car buying, the Model S is the clear winner.
3. Audi Q7
A fully loaded Audi Q7 is close to $100.000. While the BMW X5 may be a tempting competitor, the Audi Q7 is a better-built car in terms of reliability and maintenance costs. It feels just as luxurious but it makes much more sense as a car and the market segment it was made for.
4. BMW 5 Series
Since we need to have a midsize sedan, the BMW 5 series needs to be on the list. It starts at around $60.000 but nobody wants the base version. Getting the top trim and the V-8 engine will mark up the price of a new 5 Series to about $100.000. For that money, you get a powerful luxury sedan, fully specked that can even serve as a daily driver or family car.
There are loads more options in the same price range. When it comes to car buying and luxury cars, $100.000 can get you anything from luxury sedans to sporty SUVs and pick-up trucks.
