While Porsche and Lexus are continuously fighting for the number one spot, there are other automakers that offer dependable luxury vehicles. With that in mind, we decided to put together the 10 Most Dependable Luxury Cars list. Let’s take a look.

The Porsche 911 is one of the most legendary sports cars in history. The dream car for most car enthusiasts, the 2017 Porsche 911 is available in multiple trim levels with various horsepower outputs. The interior of the 911 is one of the most high-quality built interiors we’ve come across.

Porsche is well known for engineering some of the best sports cars in the world and the Porsche 911 is the pinnacle of their brand and heritage.

Lexus as a brand has continuously won awards for being one of the top reliable brands in the world. The brand's designers and engineers spend countless hours to make sure that each Lexus that comes down the assembly line meets their strong demands for craftsmanship and quality. That easily makes the Lexus LS one of the most dependable full-size luxury sedans on the market. Being the flagship vehicle of the Japanese luxury automaker, the Lexus LS also features some of the most high-quality materials and components in this segment. It's no wonder you still see older Lexus LS models still roaming the roads today. To top it off, each Lexus is also covered by a comprehensive warranty that should give you a peace of mind for years to come.

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has become a legend in the sports luxury sedan segment. When you think of reliability and quality, most point right to the E-Class rather than its competitors like the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series, or even the Lexus GS. The newly redesigned 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class features a completely redesigned interior that exudes a sense of quality and reliability. High-quality materials are present throughout the cabin along with a long list of innovative technology features. Also, each Mercedes-Benz comes with 48 months or 50,000 miles of their Limited Warranty so you can be sure that you’re covered in this dependable luxury sedan.

As mentioned earlier, Porsches are known for being some the most reliable and dependable luxury vehicles on the market. The award-winning lineup also consists of one of our personal favorite sedans, the 2017 Porsche Panamera. While many were skeptical about Porsche heading into the sedan space, the German automaker proved them wrong when the Panamera becoming one of the best-selling vehicles in the brand’s lineup. Like every other Porsche, the Panamera’s interior is built with extremely high-quality leather and fabric materials. To top it off, each Porsche comes with a four-year/50,000-mile warranty ensuring that your Panamera will be dependable for years or miles to come.

Other than the Lexus LS, the Acura RLX has long been a favorite for those shopping in the full-size luxury sedan segment. Acura, owned by Honda, automatically makes it one of the most dependable luxury brands on the market. While Honda is obsessed with reliability, Acura takes it to next level as a luxury brand that offers higher-quality and a sense of comfort and elegance. Besides being one of the most reliable luxury sedans on the market, the 2017 Acura RLX offers some of the most innovative driver assist features that are put through some of the most stringent tests before entering production. Wrap all that up in a vehicle that is extremely comfortable and pleasurable to drive and you have a clear winner.

If there is any one vehicle that helped put Cadillac on the top of luxury car shopping lists in recent years, it’s the CTS sedan. Known for its precise craftsmanship, the Cadillac CTS makes our list as the only luxury vehicle from the "Big 3" automakers from Detroit. The 2017 Cadillac CTS was recently upgraded to go head-to-head with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6, and has done an outstanding job of offering a quality built vehicle that is also one of the most reliable in its segment. For an added sense of security, Cadillac provides a four-year/50,000 miles basic warranty along with a six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

The 2017 Tesla Model S is the only electric vehicle on our list, and that’s because Tesla has repeatedly proven itself to be one of the most innovative car brands in the world with the least amount of problems. Originally, Tesla really had to prove itself as a dependable and reliable automaker. There is no doubt that the California-based company is doing something right because they delivered more than 76,000 units of the Model S and Model X in 2016. Every Tesla Model S comes with an 8-year or unlimited mileage battery and drive-unit Limited Warranty so you can rest assured you won’t have to deal with any issues with your luxury electric sedan.

The 2017 Acura TLX is the second of the Acura brand to make our list and with good reason. The TLX is based on one of the most dependable and best-selling vehicles in history - the Honda Accord. This luxury version of the Honda Accord features one of the most high-quality and comfortable interiors in the segment and also features one of the most reliable powertrains. However, hoping to ease any further concerns from customers, the automaker offers a six-year or 70,000 miles powertrain warranty ensuring that the engine remains dependable and reliable for miles and miles.

In the history of the brand, Lexus has won many awards for being the most reliable and dependable luxury vehicles and their IS sedan is one of our personal favorites. Unlike its competitors that are continuously worried about performance, the 2017 Lexus IS focuses attention on being one of the best crafted and highest-quality luxury sedans on the market. Most of the interior is wrapped in leather and soft-touch quality materials, and you can tell that Lexus made sure that the IS has the most comfortable ride in its segment. Besides a basic and powertrain warranty, Lexus also provides Corrosion Perforation warranty on all of its vehicles good for 72-months regardless of mileage. The warranty covers repair or replacement of any original body panels that start to rust, adding to its value and placement on this list.

Volvo enthusiasts absolutely adore their vehicles and hang onto them for years and years. Reason being, Volvo's are some of the most dependable vehicles on the road. We’ve driven Volvo's all-new XC90 on numerous occasions for weeks at a time and we have to say, we have yet to come across any significant issues. We recently had the pleasure to spend a week with the Volvo S90 sedan and were very impressed with the overall quality of the vehicle. Volvo is hoping to head-to-head with brands like Mercedes-Benz and that’s clearly apparent on the interior of the S90, which at times seems more luxurious and of higher-quality than a comparative Mercedes-Benz.
