Many car enthusiasts are torn between performance, luxury, and practicality, and for a while, one would have to get three cars.

From the outside, one might dismiss the Lexus GS-F. Granted, it doesn’t have the beastly looks of supercars, but it holds its own against them. With a 5-liter V8 engine, the car is fast and powerful, and what’s more? It’s fitted with high-back sports seats and can seat five people.

Audi RS7

The Audi RS7 is quite pricey—about $127,000—but the high price point is worth every cent. It has leather upholstery, heated seats, a massive infotainment system, and a Sport Adaptive Air Suspension for enthusiasts who love sport mode, all with a max speed of 190mph.

BMW X6

While the X6 might have limited cargo space because of its back-slant design, it makes up for the deficiency with a lush, comfortable interior and incredible power. The ride is loaded with numerous safety features and it’s very versatile, too. It can definitely work in the countryside courtesy of its 4-wheel drive.

Audi RS Avant

One glance at the Avant might make one think it’s a slow family car, but nothing could be further from the truth. Underneath the sleek design is a 4-liter V8 powertrain, and apart from the power, there’s sufficient cargo space to comfortably haul your family’s luggage on a road trip.

Lexus GS-F

This car is a perfect cruiser; it has a good infotainment system, huge cargo space, and comfortable seats. Still, all the elegance aside, the Lexus is a beast on the road thanks to the naturally aspirated 5-liter V8 engine that produces 467 horsepower.

Rivian R1T

BMWs are known for their luxurious comfort and unmatched engineering, and the F90 M5 is no different. With a twin-turbo V8 engine, this car strikes on the road. It rockets from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds, and if you want more thrill, a top speed of 190 mph makes long cruises enjoyable.

While the GT 63 S E looks like a proper luxury car, it’s more than that when it takes to the road. The vehicle has a stunning interior that makes daily driving a breeze, and the 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine combined with an electric motor gives it monstrous power.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

Widely considered among the best muscle cars ever made, the SRT Hellcat has a mean look but delivers top speed and luxury in equal measure. Under the hood lies a 6.2-liter Hellcat Hemi V8 powertrain, and the car comes with sufficient cargo space and a user-friendly infotainment system.
