Luxury cars are the epitome of automobiles in terms of engineering, technology, and sheer craftsmanship. These tend to be on the expensive side owing to the level of engineering, features, and quality of materials used. Luxury cars are hence priced on a higher spectrum in comparison to normal cars. Some of these luxury cars also stand out for individual reasons making them the absolute favorites. However, luxury cars are not often associated with reliability. They are generally loaded with tech and electronics that do not usually stand the test of time, making them less reliable than your average grocery getter.

But there are some luxury cars that have surprised us with stellar reliability that we believe these 10 cars can easily last 500,000 miles without breaking a sweat:

The Volvo 850 sedan and the station wagons are more lovingly known as the brick, courtesy of their boxy design. But underneath this angular design is an ultra-reliable Swedish executive car with inline-5 engines that just refuse to die.

We all know how the 850 has put up a good show in the motorsport scene at various touring car races. But the lesser known fact is how these cars can go on for long miles in the odometer before ultimately giving up.

9 Mercedes-Benz S-Class W221

The W220 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is often known as the most unreliable version of the luxury car, thanks to various electrical gremlins. Mercedes-Benz was quick to realize this, and they corrected everything in the next-generation W 221 S-Class which is rated highly for reliability.

It is not perfect as the luxury sedan can get plagued by Airmatic suspension issues but generally, considering luxury barge standards, the W221 is as reliable as it gets.

8 Lexus ES 350

The Lexus ES 350 is one luxury car in this list that is known for its dependability. It is the most reliable car in its segment, and this little Lexus is one of the most reliable sedans out there.

The fact that the ES 350 is underpinned by the same platform as the Toyota Camry might be the secret behind its high-reliability rating. This is applicable to all generations of the Lexus ES, although the ES might not be the most premium sedan out there, it certainly is one of the most reliable.

7 Lexus LS400

The second Lexus on this is the very car that kick-started Lexus' innings. The LS400 is the first model from Lexus and the car that put Lexus on the global map with its exquisite engineering and perfection.

This luxury sedan featured a 4.0-liter 1UZ-FE 32-valve V8 engine that was nothing like a normal V8. The LS400 is an ultra-reliable luxury car that beat the established German carmakers at their own game, forcing them to go back to the drawing boards.

6 Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124

The Mercedes-Benz W124 is the epitome of over-engineering. It is basically built like a German tank and is one of the most reliable cars ever made. Sold from 1984 to 1996, the W124 is the best generation of the E-Class.

As for performance, models like the E500 and the E60 AMG took things to another dimension. There are plenty of W124s around which has crossed the golden 1 million mark, proving how bullet-proof these cars are.

5 Acura TLX

The Acura TLX is one luxury car that will last for ages. Honda's luxury wing, Acura, has got so many things right with its car, and reliability is one of them. It has an average repair bill of under $450 which is comparatively low for a luxury sedan.

It is also one of the most affordable luxury cars around with prices hovering around $40000 and to help its case more, JD Power has awarded a score of 75/100 for the quality and reliability of the Acura TLX.

4 Mercedes-Benz W123

Over 2.5 million W123 models were sold between its runtime from 1976 to 1986. And don't be surprised if you see these cars running around in perfect mechanical health with over 500,000 miles on the odometer.

Just like the W124, the W123s were also built like tanks and had little to no electronics in them, making them even more dependable. We highly doubt that Mercedes can recreate the same level of over-engineering again but fret not, the W123 is a sought-after car in the used market and a brilliant buy if you want something that never dies.

Don't be surprised if you come across too many Lexus cars on this list. The reliability that we associate with Toyota is ever so present in all Lexus models, making it the most reliable luxury car brand today.

Even the entry-level model such as the IS offers the best reliability in the segment. The IS 350 builds on that and balances both performance and luxury, making it a hard choice to ignore in the sports sedan category.

2 Lexus LX (Any Generation)

The Lexus LX has to be the most reliable ultra-luxury SUV, right? After all, it is based on the indestructible Toyota Land Cruiser, which is a synonym for reliability.

Every generation of the LX is an occasion and a total luxury fest on wheels, but underneath all that leather and glitter is a tough ladder frame chassis, robust mechanicals, and a set of engines that will go on and on until fossil fuels run out. It is so good that the 2022 Lexus LX is our Best SUV of the year.

Ending this list without mentioning the Toyota Land Cruiser is equivalent to shooting ourselves in the legs. Imagine there's a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear fallout or say the world is ending, this is the SUV that you want to be in when any of this happens.

It is so amazing, robust, hardcore, capable, and reliable that every major organization from the UN to the Taliban uses these. Without Land Cruisers, the world would not have been the same, and that is everything you need to know about this gentle giant.
