You\u2019re now going to invest in the very best of engineering, performance, and luxury. In other words, you\u2019ve decided to buy your first luxury car. And now, the excitement within you is shooting through the roof. However, that excitement also has a wee bit of confusion in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, just deciding that you\u2019re going to buy a luxury car isn\u2019t enough. Now, the prospect of finding the perfect first luxury car is facing you (and we know it can be a little daunting). The big question is: Should you buy an entry-level luxury car or go ahead and purchase a mid-tier luxury vehicle?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, should you buy an Audi A4 to begin with or drive home the classy Audi A6? Should you settle for a Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine or buy the E-Class? Of course, both categories come loaded with high-end tech and prestige.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you must understand the differences, determine your preferences, and opt for the option that suits you best for your first luxury car. In this blog, we\u2019ll help you do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Defines an Entry-level Luxury Car?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By definition, entry-level luxury cars are the most affordable offerings by premium brands.

In India, there are very few options in 45L-50L (ex-showroom basis) like Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 2 Series; the rest of the cars in the entry segment are priced between 50L and 63L ex-showroom basis. Some of the people\u2019s favourites in the entry-level luxury car segment across iconic luxury brands include:\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motozite.com\/demo\/audi\/a4\/all\"><b>Audi A4<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motozite.com\/demo\/audi\/q3\/all\"><b>Audi Q3<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Mercedes-Benz A-Class<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motozite.com\/demo\/mercedes-benz\/c-class\/all\"><b>Mercedes-Benz C-Class<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motozite.com\/demo\/mercedes-benz\/gla\/all\"><b>Mercedes-Benz GLA<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>BMW 2 Series<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>BMW 3 Series<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motozite.com\/demo\/bmw\/x1\/all\"><b>BMW X1<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Key traits of entry-level luxury cars:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
