Seniors deserve the best luxury vehicle for their needs. With so many different luxury sedan models to choose from, how does an older person know they are getting the best one? There are several ways that luxury vehicles are engineered to meet the needs of seniors, including improving visibility, making technology easy to use, providing a wide range of advanced safety features, and giving seniors ergonomically helpful doors and seats. Fortunately, automakers have created luxury vehicles that address the needs of seniors without stretching their budgets too far. The three best luxury vehicles for seniors include the Lexus RX 350, the Acura RLX, and the Buick LaCrosse. Read on to find out more about these models.
The sleek and sophisticated design of the Lexus RX 350 luxury sedan is visually appealing without sacrificing practicality. The doors open into a wide angle outward, enabling drivers and passengers to get into and out of the soft seats easily. The doors, just as with the rest of its outer body, are made of a thick, secure material. This means that the construction of the car is heavy enough to be safe, but not so heavy that a senior person would have difficulty opening and closing the doors. The Lexus RX 350 is also equipped with many of safety features. For example, it contains pedestrian and bicyclist detection devices that operate equally well in daylight and low-light situations, such as dusk or early morning hours. For seniors who elect not to join AAA, Lexus offers the "Enform Safety Connect" system. In the event of an emergency situation, this system will allow the user to easily summon help. With the luxury sedan, or any other Lexus model, this Safety Connect system is included for the owner over the first three years.
Next up is the Acura RLX, a luxury sedan that has a vast appeal to the older consumer. Although Acura is best-known for its sporty cars, the RLX is absolutely a roomy sedan. It has the most comfortable leather upholstered seats that feel like Heaven in any kind of temperature. The same is true of the steering wheel cover, which will never feel too hot or too cold. The Acura RLX tastefully combines the look of a slick sports car with the room and ease of use of a sedan. Of course, it is extremely safe. There is an assist system for lane keeping, a mitigation system for any road departure of this vehicle, and of course, AcuraWatch. The latter is a specific package of safety features only offered by Acura.
Last but not least is the Buick LaCrosse. With the LaCrosse, the customer gets all of the room and safety elements of a sedan at a modest price. Affordability definitely tops the list with this group of consumers. It includes an eight-inch entertainment screen in the vehicle, which is easy to see and use. Buick does not ever sacrifice safety and the LaCross has multiple safety tools. One is the "safety alert seat," which detects safety hazards within range of the car and the driver's seat pulses to alert them of the danger. Another critical safety feature is signal the driver of nearby traffic in their blind spot. This notified drivers immediately so as not to change lanes when another vehicle is there.
