Best Executive Sedans in SA

The Executive Sedan category is guided by both eligibility factors and Pillars of Success. Eligibility factors include a listed price between R800 000 and R1 000 000 at the time of semi-finalist voting (September 1, 2018) to ensure a healthy measure of prestige. Pillars of Success for this category include powertrain technology, brand strength, design and quality appeal, driving dynamics, technology and comfort.

Visit www.carsawards.co.za for more information. The finalists are as follows:

BMW 520d M Sport

From a global perspective, the BMW 5 Series is a pivotal car for the Bavarian-based brand, not only in terms of volumes but profitability. After the 7 Series won the First Class category in 2016/17, we predicted the 5 would be just as good and, based on its pricing and specification, it is clearly a frontrunner in the Executive Sedan class.

Mercedes-Benz E220d Avantgarde

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is purported to be the most accomplished executive sedan on the market and is a powerhouse in terms of technological features. Merc has extensively upgraded the interior capabilities of the E-Class to adapt to the modern business person’s everyday life and the E-Class remains a strong contender in this segment.

Volvo S90 D5 R-Design

The underappreciated S90 shares a platform with its multiple #CarsAwards-winning XC90 sibling, so can it pull off a similar coup in its segment? The S90 brings luxury, refinement, credible performance and semi-autonomous capability to the table, making it a worthy contender in this category.
