In our review of the best business class cars, our ranking highlights these 5:
- Tesla Model S
- Hyundai Grandeur
- Toyota Camry
- BMW 5-Series
- Mercedes E
All of them are widely available in online car auctions.
- Tesla Model S
Its production began in the spring of 2012. The exterior was changed, which made it more modern. Thus, over time they were replaced with bi-xenon LED headlights, inside other finishing materials began to be used. As for the technical component and the software, then here the updates occur regularly.
The car is available in Standard, Long Range, Perfomance. The car uses an electric motor with a capacity of 382 to 762 hp, and the range is 643 km. The maximum speed is limited to 250 km/h, and the car can accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.7-3.8 seconds. At high speeds, the driver and passengers feel comfortable, since the aerodynamic drag coefficient is only 0.24.
The 2022 model remains with the same appearance: it was decided to keep all the characteristics inherent to the car. As for the changes, they refer to the fog lights (they were removed from the front bumper), the chrome elements (they were replaced by a dark decoration) and the wheel discs (new design).
The interior has also undergone changes. The dashboard remains the same behind the wheel, but the central screen has become huge: it is a screen with a diagonal of 17 inches. There is also a screen for passengers in the rear seats, but it is 8 inches in size.
- Hyundai Grandeur
A large business class sedan that always has an austere appearance. The large optics and the radiator grill only increase this sensation. It is a car with a unique design that is equipped with modern options to the maximum. The seventh version, which hit the market in 2022, has also become a bestseller. In the last decade, more than one million Hyundai Grandeur have been sold in Korea. In used car auctions in South Korea, the Hyundai Grandeur can be bought much cheaper than in other countries and in original equipment.
In the new sedan, the design was applied, which was tested in the Staria minivan. Almost nothing remained of the previous model, but in some elements the legendary family is still guessed.
The optics of the head of the car are integrated into the radiator grill. In the rear, all the lights are in a strip. An interesting feature - the taillights project two oblique bands on the surface of the road, which in the darkness of the day inform others well about the maneuver.
The new generation of the car uses frameless doors with double-layer glass and hidden handles. The buyer can choose between 18, 19 or 20 inch discs.
The interior is inspired by the first generation Hyundai Grandeur, a model that was launched in 1986. The same somewhat angular front panel, but now it has 12.3-inch screens, and near the dashboard there is a fingerprint scanner that recognizes the driver. The air conditioning is controlled through an independent screen and, optionally, a projection screen is available.
- Toyota Camry
A car with premium comfort in which the driver and passengers are comfortable. The updated Camry was presented in 2020. The dimensions of the car have changed, which made the interior more spacious. Now the model has a very sporty look, as if playing with the muscles. In the most expensive modifications, the manufacturer installs an exhaust system with two tubes. From now on, the car uses discs with a new design and size. It is possible to order new shades, including intense blue and metallic red.
The interior has been created completely according to the requirements of a modern car. The developers have achieved an incredibly competent combination of materials and color combination. In all modifications, except for the basic ones, natural and synthetic leather is used for the finishing of the seats.
In the updated version, the developers decided to add more original solutions, and one of them is the installation of an asymmetric console instead of the central one. The dashboard now has no screen: it is made in the form of an independent standing tablet. In the expensive versions there is an audio system with 9 speakers, supports Android Auto and Apple Carplay and a projection screen.
