Six comfiest cars 2019
There’s a lot to consider when choosing a new car, but for most drivers it ultimately comes down to your lifestyle.
The average car owner in the UK spends around nine hours[1] per week behind the wheel of their vehicle, so finding one that makes your daily journeys smoother is important.
While choosing a car that suits your needs may seem difficult, knowing which features can support your lifestyle will make your decision easier.
Whether you want a car that’s easy to get in and out of, a comfortable seating arrangement, or helpful gadgets and gizmos, we’ve found the six comfiest cars to help you make an informed decision.
1. Mercedes E-Class saloon
When it comes to refined style and comfort, there aren’t many cars that can match the Mercedes E-Class saloon.
The E-Class has long been considered the gold-standard for the German car manufacturer thanks to its well-constructed design, impressive style, and superior performance.
The high-tech, comfortable interior makes it one of the comfiest cars out there. Featuring a 12.3-inch widescreen display, sculpted seats that compliment your posture, and a range of tech features that include wireless phone charging and 360-degree parking cameras, this is definitely a model to consider – if your budget allows it.
2. Citroën C3 hatchback
The cheapest option on this list, the Citroën C3 hatchback is also one of the best when it comes to comfort. This purpose-built design features a softer, more compliant ride than previous iterations, making it perfect for longer drives or intercity excursions.
Its unique cocoon effect interior features a tall roofline for extra headspace, clever storage compartments, and welcoming seats with added support.
3. Jaguar XF saloon
The Jaguar XF saloon is perhaps the best-rounded vehicle on this list. With an impressive range of petrol and diesel options, an unrivalled interior, and an exceptional ride, there’s much to be loved here.
Its spacious interior features premium carpets and perforated leather seats, in addition to a built-in entertainment system for added convenience.
4. Skoda Superb hatchback
It’s safety first with the Skoda Superb hatchback, thanks to its impressive safety features, which make it a great choice for families.
The interior features a modern and crisp design that is well demonstrated by the simple lines and easy-to-follow display of the dashboard. The seats provide excellent support, while the controls are logically placed throughout.
While it may not command the same vigor as their German counterparts, the Skoda is more than a match for the big hitters.
5. Volvo S90 saloon
From the work commute to the sports track, there’s no journey that the Volvo S90 saloon can’t handle. Blending executive designs with sporty touches, the latest rendition from the Swedish giants is likely to be a favourite for years to come.
With a spacious interior and minimalist design, including leather trim, heated front seats and dual-zone climate control, this relaxed ride can get you to your destination in style.
6. BMW 5 Series saloon
If you’re looking for an executive style saloon that’s just as comfortable on motorways as it is on urban drives, the BMW 5 Series saloon is one of the best options you can find.
The spacious interior makes for a comfortable setting, while there’s no shortage of user-friendly add-ons brimming with technology.
The 5 Series features the iDrive Touch system which monitors performance while you drive, as well as acting as the main entertainment hub. The rotary controller also features touch-sensitive technology for ease of use.
