Ready to Dazzle? Check out these luxury car features you really need to know about in 2021. When it comes to luxurious auto amenities, Rolls-Royce and Bentley literally wrote the book. So we’re taking a look at some of the most irresistible and opulent options from these venerable British automakers in 2021: The Luggage Set for Rolls-Royce At $46,000 the whole set of luggage for Rolls-Royce Wraith costs more than most people’s starter luxury cars. You can also buy each bag separately, but why not go for the whole enchilada (or crumpet, if you prefer the British version)? Handles are engineered to perfectly distribute weight and then finished with the kind of invisible stitch most commonly found on the couture runway. According to Business Insider, which reviewed the pieces, this gives each piece and uber smooth feel. The Spirit of Ecstasy  is embossed on each piece, including the “Grand Tourer” bag that features self-righting wheels and a huge double R emblem. Of course, you can customize each bag to match the interior of your model. Why would you have it any other way? more The Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s Champagne Chiller According to Top Gear website Rolls-Royce Cullinan and champagne go hand in hand. You need that fridge – in fact a special champagne fridge – to keep it the perfect temperature for you and your friends while you enjoy the rarified rear interior while someone else does the driving. Crystal glasses specially made for your Rolls complete this champagne dream. When you’re paying just over a quarter million dollars for your car, that Fixed Rear Centre Console, complete with the champagne chiller is a must. And if whisky is more your style there’s even a set of Rolls-Royce whisky glasses plus a decanter to round out the beverage cabinet. Kids can enjoy non-alcoholic soft drinks or smoothies chilled on the go! The Mulliner Hamper in the Bentley Bentayga The Bentayga is The (with a capital T) Luxury SUV so Bentley has spared no expense in offering you up the best in luxurious options. The automaker’s Mulliner department is no slouch and this hamper setup sits on a custom-engineered docking mechanism that allows it to be pulled forward or even removed, according to Top Gear. The lids can provide handy seating at that polo tournament if you like. The Mulliner hamper includes fancy china crockery, cutlery and crystal glassware along with a Bentley ‘Flying B’ bottle stopper for beverages. There’s storage space for food, beer and champagne. Cheers to that! Fancy Clock in the Bentley Bentayga Those who appreciate the best things in life will appreciate the luxury time piece in the Bentayga, according to Motor Trend website. The $160,000 mechanical Breitling clock adorning the dash of the Bentayga is called the Mulliner Tourbillon. And it even winds itself and has a motor that can rotate the clock to keep it running, according to Motor Trend. It comes in a dark or light mother of Pearl face. Mulliner is a famous British coachbuilder for carriages from horse-driven to automotive. The company dates back to the 1760s and Bentley now holds the name, according to Extreme Tech. Tourbillon means “whirlwind” in French. Inside the Bentayga, the unit holding the clock moves on its axes occasionally to keep the timepiece wound if the car is not driven. Only four per year are being produced. Rotating Dashboard Display in the Bentley Continental GT You and your passengers will enjoy watching the optional rotating dashboard display on your Bentley Continental GT, according to Top Gear. You can choose between analogue dials that display outside air temperature, compass and chronometer, a 12.3in touchscreen or a walnut veneer, just to name a few. In fact, there are so many options to choose from for this bespoke mechanism made up of  40 moving parts - with an intelligent drive system that varies speeds to maintain tight tolerances, taking into account variances in friction and temperature. That you might be tempted to change your name to Bond. James Bond. Lambswool Rugs in the Bentley Flying Spur It’s your home away from home when you’re on the road. And the rear seating area in the Bentley Flying Spur is a little house of luxury. There’s massage features galore, heaters and coolers and lots of entertainment. So why not lambswool rugs to make sure you and your passengers are extra comfy? The lambswool floor mats will make sure everyone’s feet are clouded in the softest natural wool. Don’t forget to bring your slippers! The Starlight Headliner in the Rolls Just about every Rolls comes with this available option. The Starlight headliner requires about 12 hours of work on average and leaves you feeling like you are sitting beneath a heavenly constellation as you head out on the town for a magical event. And Rolls will replicate whatever constellation you choose. How about an Orion’s Belt or a Big Dipper?  According to Top Gear, the leather headlining is perforated in the desired pattern before up to 1,600 fiber-optic lights are set into the holes at different angles. You, the passenger (or driver) can vary the intensity of the light using the onboard infotainment system. So sit back, relax and take in the stars – even on a cloudy night. The Umbrellas in the Rolls-Royce Phantom It even rains in California and Texas so why not be prepared? With the umbrella found in the Rolls-Royce Phantom inclement weather need never bother you again. Polished handles and a monogram spell out Rolls-Royce excellence. The storage compartment has drainage holes that will allow the umbrella to dry properly, even if you hit a downpour in the Welsh countryside or a sudden monsoon in Pebble Beach.

What about massage seats in luxury cars? Luxury vehicles have to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to delivering the industry’s top features – everything from in-vehicle refrigeration to infotainment and sound systems. But when it comes to one of the most luxurious features of all - high quality massage seats - some brands are leading the pack. In fact, these automakers are offering massages so relaxing that you’d have to visit a real life massage therapist to beat this kind of body work. We took a look at some of the top ranked massage seats in luxury cars according to Motor Biscuit and Motor Trend websites. So settle in, turn on some soft music and prepare to unwind! Here they are: more 1. The Rolls-Royce Ghost is considered one of the most luxurious vehicles in the world. And its massage seats are one of the many reasons. The Ghost is generous with its seats' kneading power and will relax all four passengers if that’s what they want. According to Motor Biscuit: “The executive seat is the best-equipped massage, however, as the up/down waves that go from the top to the bottom of the occupant's back are complemented by a shoulder-to-lumbar massage given by a separate set of air cushions.” The executive seat is, of course, the best-equipped massage, giving you up and waves that go from the top to the bottom of  your back. That’s complemented by a shoulder-to-lumbar massage given by a separate set of air cushions. And if you’re being driven by a chauffeur, he or she is sure to thank you for the great massage when you come out of your special event! Ahhhhhhh. 2. The Jaguar XJ offers massages for all takers and there are five modes, each with five intensity levels. The rear seat reclines, allowing rear passengers to get into drooling mode. Heating and ventilation for each of the seats – and supple leather – make this an extra special experience.   3. The A8, Audi’s largest sedan, is equipped with one of the best massages in the business – if you choose it as an option. Massage is available in any of the four outboard seats, along with heating and ventilation. The massage features five modes and five intensity levels. On top of that the rear seat reclines, and a power rear footrest is available. So you can also kick back and cool down. 4. Maybe the crème de la crème of massage: The Bentley Mulsanne uses the same system as the Audi A8, but it wraps it up in even more luxury and opulence. Along with the massage you get heating and ventilation, reclining seats. And there’s five types of massages with 10 levels of intensity. On top of that you get iPads built into the front seatbacks; they can be deployed while getting a massage and enable rear-seat passengers to video chat as they convey their feelings about the massage they're receiving. It doesn't get much better than that. But then again, what would you expect from Bentley? Honorable mentions: The 2021 Audi e-tron. This electric luxury crossover SUV comes with very nice massaging seats and its higher trim level, the Prestige trim, provides Valcona leather along with the massage! The 2021 Porsche Cayenne. This Porsche has optional massaging front seats along with eight-way power-adjustable front seats and leather upholstery. In addition to the massage feature, other optional features include heated and ventilated front and rear seats and 14- or 18-way power-adjustable front seats. Adding in massage will cost more money, of course. For example the Audi e-tron starts at $74,800, but you will pay an additional $4,300 for the trim that includes massaging seats. The 2020 Porsche Cayenne has a starting price of $67,500, but its top trim starts at $166,200. Adding massaging and ventilated seats in the front can cost $2,000 in those models.

Expect the new automotive trends to keep coming fast and furious in this rapidly changing market that is impacted, in large part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are four car trends to watch in 2021: No. 1 Personal Vehicle Ownership versus Shared Mobility In recent years experts have predicted a reduction in the ownership and usage of personal automobiles. That means more people would be taking the bus, riding on commuter trains, or sharing rides. That is what was supposed to happen. But what a difference a year makes. With the COVID-19 pandemic that trend prediction, like many others, has been toppled. According to the M. Power by Mitchell while the pandemic has diminished the commuting needs of workers, many still rely on their vehicles around home for errands and for business travel and vacation. And they prize the privacy and protection of driving their own car. “The vehicle, in many ways, has become our own private bubble,” says Jonathan Smoke, chief economist of Cox Automotive. A safe, private bubble where you are not sharing air or coming in contact with the general public –  these are features of sole car ownership that are now highly valued in this era of the virus. According to writer Ryan Mandell, the trend is further highlighted by the fact that ride-sharing companies are evolving business models to put greater emphasis on the movement of goods. One example is the Uber Eats platform. “Uber viewed this as such a critical aspect of their business that they purchased another digital food delivery service, Postmates, for $2.65 billion in July,” according to the M. Power website. more No. 2. More Electric Vehicles. The increase in fossil fuel rate and the harm to the environment caused by their use has caused the automotive industry to shift its focus to electric vehicles (EVs). Cars contribute to 15% of carbon emissions, and electric vehicles are addressing those challenges by offering a higher level of energy efficiency and reduced fuel usage. In the history books, 2021 may just be the year of the electric vehicle (EV). By last fall alone there were more than 1.6 million electric vehicles on the US road, which is higher than the expected 1.4 million by 2024 and the trend is expected to keep growing in 2021. In Europe alone, the EV growth will further increase - not due to COVID-19 but thanks to highly stringent CO2 legislation imposed by the EU, according to Forbes magazine. Over in China, the government will reduce incentives on New Energy Vehicles (EVs, PHEVs, and FCEVs) by 20% but, at the same time, it will use other mechanisms like restricting ICE registrations to make sure EV sales penetration will keep rising. And here in the US everyone’s eyes are on the new administration to see what it will do to boost support for EVs. While it will take more than 12 months to introduce regulatory changes nationwide, there is a good chance the existing EV tax rebate program is further expanded. Trend No. 3. Connected Cars Expand Their Powers With 5G capabilities slowly being built out and 6G on the horizon, vehicle connectivity has been a defining automotive trend for years. Naturally, vehicle connectivity is vital to autonomous driving. Additionally, OTAs (Over-the-Air Updates), are a hugely important feature in the coming world of digital mobility, according to Forbes magazine. And research suggests that by 2023, some 90% of all new vehicles in the US (and 70% of light-duty vehicles and trucks worldwide) will feature embedded connectivity capabilities, according to Intland Software. This won’t impact how technical updates are received; with more and more Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and increasing vehicle autonomy, focus is slowly moving to connected onboard infotainment. According to Forbes Magazine, cars will carry some major advancements in connectivity in 2021. One being in-car shopping enabled by Connected car Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. These allow in-car marketplaces to cater to drivers and passengers so they can indulge in personal retail therapy (or order your favorite take out) from the convenience of your massaging seats Forbes says features-on-demand will improve vehicle convenience, comfort, multimedia, performance, and safety. Not only will this transform your user experience and push the boundaries of personalization but it will allow the opening up of innovative business models and recurring revenue streams for automakers. Welcome to the new frontier! One slice or two? Trend No. 4 Health and Wellness in Cars Everyone’s on edge in the age of the pandemic. Stressed out to the max. So automakers, like other industries, are highlighting the importance of health and wellness – everything from addressing sore muscles to cleaning up the air inside of cars. From massage seats in the front and back to features that detect if you’ve had one too many alcoholic beverages, to high tech air purifiers – all parts of the vehicle will be gone over to make sure your cabin is contributing to your top-level health. In fact, car companies are developing built-in and brought in features that will make sure you and your passengers are enjoying the healthiest drive ever. State of the art air purification will be one solution to ever-increasing air pollution in large metropolitan areas. Expect to see options introduced that monitor external ambient air quality and regulate in-vehicle air quality, according to Forbes. Moreover, some automakers are even offering location services that provide allergen warnings, and biosensors that enable monitoring of glucose levels, blood pressure, and heart rate. Other health-enhancing features for 2021 include even more ergonomic seating and control placement, muscle therapy through ergonomic seats with heating and massage features. Plus rear seats that can be configured to allow exercise. So car travel is no longer an excuse to skip your sit-ups!

According to Greek mythology, Atlas was a titan with the strength to hold up the Heavens and Earth for all eternity. So when it came time for Volkswagen to come up with a name for their muscular new mid-size SUV, there was only one choice: ATLAS. The VW Atlas is the largest, most capable, most family-friendly SUV Volkswagen has ever made. Car and Driver says, “With three rows of seating and plenty of room for its occupants, the 2020 VW Atlas offers practicality and a comfortable ride without even a hint of minivan-ness.” If you’re in the market for a versatile, mid-sized SUV, Atlas has you covered with a wide range of trim levels, pricing and seating options to choose from, starting with the front-wheel drive S model with a base price of $30,895 on up to the V-6 Premium Atlas with 4Motion all-wheel drive, starting at $43,195. Atlas buyers also have their choice of engines: from an eager yet economical 2-liter, 235-hp. turbocharged four-cylinder that gets up to 26-mpg highway, to the more powerful 3.6-liter, 276-hp. V-6 that delivers a whopping 266-foot-pounds of torque. A rugged eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard with both engines. The first thing you notice about the Atlas is its bold, powerful exterior design with creased lines on the front and sides to give it a muscular look worthy of its legendary namesake. Inside, the Atlas is uncompromisingly Volkswagen: clean, uncomplicated, and uniquely practical—perfect for families and all their gear. As Car and Driver puts it, “The interior of the Atlas should accommodate just about anything a suburban family can throw at it. No matter which trim level you choose the Atlas comes well connected and ready to entertain.” And speaking of entertainment, your family will never get bored on a long trip thanks to the latest VW technology like the next-generation Car-Net telematics system, available Wi-Fi capability and digital driver personalization. Plus, a range of touchscreen sound systems give you the ability to bring your favorite tunes, soundtracks, and podcasts along with you. The Atlas not only keeps your family entertained along the way, it keeps them safe as well with available features like Adaptive Cruise Control that helps the vehicle maintain a preset speed and distance from the car in front of you. The Atlas is also designed with front and rear crumple zones that help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage deflects that energy away from the driver and passengers. Volkswagen says, “Peace of mind is always top of mind, which is why we never forget that the most important things in an Atlas are you and your family.” And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has made it official, giving the Atlas its highest possible crash safety rating: five stars.

A new era of electric has arrived with the Audi e-tron, the first and only electric SUV built with Audi DNA. With ample space for everyday life, long range capability and legendary quattro® all-wheel drive, the e-tron is more than an electric vehicle. It’s electric done the Audi way. First, let’s take care of the bullet points: the e-tron is an all-wheel drive, built-from-the-ground-up electric SUV powered by twin asynchronous electric motors that crank out 402 horsepower with boost technology. 0-60 happens in just 5.5 seconds and top speed is 124 mph. The range? More than 200 miles on a single charge. As you would expect from a luxury electric vehicle, the e-tron offers excellent noise, vibration, and harshness control, owing to the whisper-smooth BEV propulsion system. In its review of the Audi, Motor1.com said, “The e-tron is impressively quiet in urban conditions, shrugging off impacts from road imperfections and the roar of its low-rolling-resistance tires. At higher speeds, the sound of the wind rarely interrupts the serene cabin experience.” But can an electric SUV like the Audi deliver respectable performance off-road? The answer is: yes it can! Recently, indiGO Auto Group invited their clients to a one-of-a-kind, off-road desert adventure called “ Kick Up The Dust,” featuring some of the most capable SUVs on the market. The e-tron was the breakout hit of the event—holding its own against its gas-powered rivals. In a road test of the e-tron, Motor Trend Magazine reported, “Pushed hard, the e-tron's powertrain delivers the same punch and responsiveness as some of the more performance-oriented SUVs.” And the Audi e-tron isn’t just capable of taking you anywhere in the world—it can connect you with the world as well. It all starts with the myAudi app, a digital assistant that provides unprecedented levels of interconnectivity. The app helps you personalize each ride by accessing a growing suite of services that connect to your vehicle and heighten your driving experience. Not only does the e-tron’s interconnectivity make it more fun to drive, it also helps keep you and your family safe as well, offering innovative safety features like SOS, to help you make emergency calls. With Audi Connect you can remotely lock and unlock the doors, charge the battery and even find your car in a crowded parking lot. It also helps you plan your trips, finding the charging stations along the route and giving you the charging times necessary to reach your final destination. With the myAudi app you can spend less time worrying about you car and more time enjoying it. With the e-tron, electric has gone Audi. And so has indiGO Auto Group, where you can test-drive the 2020 Audi e-tron at Audi Rancho Mirage.

In November 2019, indiGO Auto Group invited their clients to a one-of-a-kind desert adventure called “Kick Up The Dust,” bringing together their luxury SUV’s for an extraordinary off-road experience. The lineup included models from prestige brands like Audi, Bentley, BMW, Land Rover, Porsche —and one brand you might not expect: Rolls-Royce. When the legendary automaker set out to build their first-ever all-wheel drive super-luxury SUV they were faced with a nearly impossible task. How do you design a powerful, full-sized vehicle that could conquer the Outback without compromising the supremely comfortable ride quality Rolls-Royce is famous for? The answer: you do it by creating the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The name is said to be inspired by the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered, which is fitting since the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is one gem that’s built to handle the rough. And the motoring world has taken notice. As the car enthusiasts over at BBC’s Top Gear put it, “Aspen, Jackson Hole and Gstaad will soon be heaving with Cullinans that can climb mountains while keeping the Dom Perignon chilled.” They go on to say: “The Cullinan takes Rolls’ fabled ride and refinement qualities into a new domain, doing to off-road rubble and ruts what the Phantom does to regular road imperfections. Even sitting in the back, the signature serenity is achieved.” Thanks to a twin-turbocharged 6.7-liter V12 engine that produces a staggering 563-hp, this 3-ton luxury leviathan can propel you from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. And to keep its impeccable manners on rough terrain there are double wishbones up front and a five-link rear axle with self-leveling air suspension. Electronically controlled dampers help further stabilize the ride along with a stereo camera system that “reads” the road ahead. And in a first for Rolls-Royce, the Cullinan has four-wheel steering with the power going to all four wheels in a 50/50 split. Unlike mere mortal vehicles, you don’t select a Cullinan off the showroom floor—you help create it from the ground up. The word Rolls-Royce uses is “bespoke.” That means each vehicle is tailor-made to your exacting specifications, a highly personalized, one-of-a-kind expression of your individual tastes and desires. Car and Driver sums it up perfectly: “Even though building an SUV is a clear break from tradition for the storied British brand, it's still an uncompromised Rolls-Royce in every way.” To find your own Rolls-Royce Cullinan, contact indiGO Auto Group, or to experience the full line of Rolls-Royce motorcars, visit Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Rancho Mirage or Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North Houston.

When it was unveiled in 1961, Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made.”  He was speaking about the legendary E-Type Jaguar. Production of the E-Type ended in 1971, but now, over four decades later, the car that took the automotive world by storm has a worthy successor: The Jaguar F-Type luxury sports car. In its review of the F-Type, Autoblog.com said, “The distinctly Jaguar F-Type has proven itself to be a car with character, a true-blue, two-seat sports car.” The reviewer goes on to say that the F-Type R Coupe and R Convertible are “two of the best sports cars on the road today.” The car nuts over at BBC’s Top Gear put it even more succinctly: “The F-Type is fun to drive, sounds fantastic and looks amazing. Job done!” But, be forewarned: before you buy a Jaguar F-Type you’ll have some tough choices to make. First off, do you go with the convertible or the coupe? For a true, classic sports car experience nothing beats the exhilaration of cruising with the top down. However, the coupe’s solid roof and enclosed cockpit means that there’s more strength in the chassis, and the suspension’s been modified as well. Next up, you’ll need to choose a model, an engine and a price point. The F-Type has virtually every kind of sports car enthusiast covered, offering a wide range of models, features and engine configurations. Coupe And Convertible A base price of $61,600 gives you entre to the world of classic Jaguar sports car motoring with the F-Type coupe. (Convertibles cost about $3000 more.) With a capable 4-cylinder, turbocharged 296-hp engine, the coupe has a top speed of 155 mph, propelling you from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. The coupe and convertible are also available in the Checkered Flag Edition. Starting at $71,900, this limited-edition F-Type features special wheels, a meaner look and sportier accents. R-Dynamic Coupe and Convertible For those who desire a little more oomph, the R-Dynamic Coupe, starting at $84,300, offers a 6-cylinder, 380-hp supercharged engine that’ll whisk you from 0-60 in 4.8 seconds—and all the way to a top speed of 171 mph. R Coupe and Convertible If you’re one of those sports car enthusiasts for whom only eight cylinders will do, the F-Type has you covered there as well. The AWD R Coupe has a base price of $101,800, which buys you a 550-hp supercharged V8, a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and a top end of 186 mph. SVR Coupe and Convertible And if money’s no object, there’s the most powerful, most exciting F-Type of all—the AWD SVR coupe and convertible. This top-of-the-line trim will set you back a minimum of $123,600, but that figure gets you into supercar territory with a V8 engine that puts out a staggering 575-horsepower, taking you from 0-60 in a neck-snapping 3.5 seconds. Top speed? A blistering 200 mph. As Top Gear puts it, “There isn’t a bad F-Type. The V8s naturally sound the best, the V6s are a bit more precise to drive and the four-cylinder, with its 296-hp output, is as approachable and trustworthy as an F-Type gets.” And as Car and Driver notes, “Regardless of powerplant, this Jag’s at its best on twisting roads where its agility and composure shine.” No matter what kind of motoring enthusiast you are or which thrill you have your eye on, indiGO Auto Group is your destination for all things Jaguar. Come experience the new 2020 F-Type at Jaguar Riverside or Jaguar Rancho Mirage.
