Acura TLX: 34,856
The replacement for the TL and TSX, the Acura TLX is a little bit of an odd duck. That’s not to say being different is bad. With 34,856 sales, the strategy seems to be working reasonably well. But, that total is 6.2 percent lower than the previous year. And that’s even after adding the sporty A-Spec trim.
Many complain the TLX doesn’t look or feel luxurious. It’s admittedly pretty plain, but enough people apparently like that.
Audi A4: 37,674
Seeing the A4 on this list should surprise no one. After all, this little sedan has long been Audi’s go-to car for those who want a luxurious experience, but don’t want to pony up the cash for something like the A6.
The A4 captured 37,674 sales for 2017, which was 1.9 percent higher than 2016, for an overall good showing.
With a complete redesign for 2017, Audi really pushed the tech side of the A4 to a new level. Sadly, the car still looks pretty plain on the outside, albeit not unattractive.
BMW 5 Series: 40,658
The tech-heavy BMW 5 Series was able to rack up 40,658 sales for 2017, which was a 25 percent bump versus the 2016 total. You can thank a dramatic redesign that really pushed the envelope for that increase.
The car boasts all kinds of autonomous driving aids, which is exactly what people in the luxury segment want. BMW also included a plug-in hybrid and the mighty M550 xDrive in the mix, covering all the bases.
