Market Overview

A luxury car is a broad category of contemporary vehicles that stress the comfort of the driver and passengers through plush interiors, increased functionality, and state-of-the-art safety measures. These cars are more technologically advanced and convenient than moderately priced traditional automobiles. A luxury car has better aesthetics, is more configurable, and has features like sensors, cameras, anti-lock brakes, Bluetooth or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) entertainment systems. Using the provision of a rear-view mirror and security alerts, these devices improve overall vehicle performance and lower the chance of collisions. The China luxury car market is being driven by the increasing availability of tangible luxurious features within cars, as well as the changing preference of customers for branded autonomous luxury vehicles over traditional modes of transportation. Increased discretionary income and consumer awareness of the advantages of luxury cars such as safety, prestige, resale value, the ability to combine comfort and beauty, and the capacity to add customized flair are more factors driving the China luxury car market.

Driving Factors
