The collection

5 doors · 4 seats

A saloon you can drive yourself or be driven in, without the length of a Phantom. Four doors, seats up to five, and a boot that takes full-size cases.

4 doors · 5 seats

A full-size four-wheel-drive with five doors, room for four or five people and a boot that takes their luggage. Automatic, high up, and made for long motorway runs in bad weather.

4 doors · 5 seats

Four doors, room for four or five, and a boot that takes real luggage. The Lamborghini you can use on a Tuesday, with the ground clearance for a gravel drive.

4 doors · 7 seats

The long car in its higher specification, chosen for the back seat rather than the driving seat. Diesel and automatic, and the answer when someone is being met at an airport.

5 doors · 5 seats

Five doors, a square boot and a rear seat adults can sit in for hours. Rides better on a motorway than the old Defender ever did, and still goes where the road stops.

0 doors · 5 seats

A full-size electric saloon: four doors, five seats and no engine noise. The boot opens as a hatchback, so luggage goes in more easily than the shape suggests.

5 doors · 5 seats

A boxy four-wheel drive with five seats and a side-hinged rear door. Tall and heavy; chosen for how it looks and sounds rather than for covering distance quietly.

4 doors · 5 seats

Built around the back seat. Long, quiet, and the obvious choice when someone else is driving - a meeting across town, or in from Heathrow with a boot of cases.

4 doors · 5 seats

At the top of the S-Class range: four doors, five seats, automatic. Bought for the back seat rather than the driving seat, on airport runs and long motorway legs.

5 doors · 8 seats

A diesel people carrier with sliding doors on both sides and seats for seven or eight. The usual job is an airport run, where the luggage matters as much as the seats.

4 doors · 4 seats

Built to be sat in the back of: a long saloon, quiet because it is electric, with the rear bench the point of the car rather than an afterthought.

4 doors · 7 seats

Three rows and seven belts, though the back pair suit children or short trips. With the third row up the boot is small; fold it and it takes a family's cases.

5 doors · 7 seats

Seven seats in three rows and a tall tailgate. With the third row up the boot is small; fold it away and there is room for a family's luggage.

0 doors · 4 seats

An electric five-seat crossover with a sloping roofline and a tailgate boot. Automatic, quiet in traffic, and longer trips need a charging stop planned in.

0 doors · 2 seats

A short-wheelbase panel van for a house move or a delivery round: sliding side door, rear doors to the load bay, and a cab that seats two or three.
