Whether you\u2019re a petrol head and car fanatic or simply need a vehicle to go from A to B, if we had the means, a luxury car would always be a nice to have. Here at LeaseCarUK, we\u2019ve conducted research to discover the most popular luxury car models in the top 50 countries by GDP to reveal which luxury motors people are searching for most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research finds the Lexus GX to be the most wanted luxury vehicle in the world. Listed as the number 1 \u2018luxury\u2019 model in eighteen out of a total of fifty countries, the GX accrues nearly three million searches every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lexus promises their GX SUV is a \u2018luxury that refuses to quit\u2019 and has been dubbed an alternative to a Mercedes G-Class and Land Rover Defender. While the GX\u2019s boxy design isn\u2019t traditionally what one might define as \u2018luxury\u2019 when compared to brands such as Rolls Royce, the 2024 model promises a marriage between capability and refinement and starts at around \u00a365,0001<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second most lusted-after motor is the Mercedes CLA. Topping searches in countries such as the United Kingdom, Mexico and Spain, global monthly searches reach almost 739,000 every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CLA embodies everything Mercedes is about: luxury, class and elegance. The model boasts comfortable features, advanced technology and reviews depict that the CLA is designed for the daily driver looking for a bit of luxury in their journeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10 most sought-after luxury car brands in the world<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking at a brand level, Lexus wins by a country mile with 30% more searches than the next car brand, topping the most-searched-for car brand in nineteen countries. Lexus is Toyota\u2019s luxury but high-volume division, offering a diverse range of models catering to a wide range of preferences to capture luxury drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second most sought-after luxury car brand is Maserati, a luxury car brand more often associated with the Rolls Royce\u2019s of the world rather than Mercedes. Maserati, initially founded by the Maserati brothers in Italy, is famous for offering high-performance vehicles. Now, the Maserati brand is owned by Stellantis and is their only luxury division of vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most wanted luxury car in every country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite Lexus CX being the most wanted luxury car model in the world, it only appears as the most searched for in one European country, Finland. The Maserati Levante appears as the most favoured among Europeans and is listed as the most searched for car in five countries. Other Maserati models are also favoured such as the GT Convertible and Kubang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to our research, the UK searches for the Mercedes CLA more than any other luxury car, which is unsurprising when considering that Mercedes has been a long favoured luxury car brand in the country for decades. There are currently just short of 62,000 Mercedes CLA on UK roads2<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. is just one of many countries that favour the Lexus GX, likely due to their preference of the luxury SUV market. The GX offers a high-end experience while still remaining rugged with plenty of space, allowing drivers to handle off-road adventures and inclement weather. The Lexus GX had its second-best year of sales in 2023 in the states, selling 31,910 in just one year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
