What Car? Awards 2013
Best Executive Cars of 2013
Sponsored by…
This is the ultimate business car, so low fuel consumption and company car tax bills are crucial. However, our best executive cars of 2013 should also be able to thrill and relax the driver in equal measures.
A classy image is another essential ingredient, and we'd also expect plenty of space for clients, first-rate interior quality and a sophisticated yet user-friendly infotainment system.
Winner, Best Executive Car
BMW 3 Series
| List Price: |
£29,605 |
|---|---|
| Target Price: |
£27,667 |
Efficient Dynamics automatic eco specials tend to be more expensive and worse to drive than the models on which they're based, but the 320d Efficient Dynamics proves it's not always so.
Best executive car £30,000 - £35,000
BMW 5 Series
| List Price: |
£31,555 |
|---|---|
| Target Price: |
£29,192 |
Like the 3 Series, the latest 5 is available in Efficient Dynamics form. However, you can't have an automatic gearbox with this model, so we prefer the regular 520d.
Best executive car more than £35,000
Jaguar XF
| List Price: |
£35,855 |
|---|---|
| Target Price: |
£32,159 |
For this budget you can have six-cylinder versions of the BMW 3 and 5 Series - not to mention Audi's A6 and Mercedes' E-Class - but our money would still go on the Jaguar.
