Substantives

What is the substantive for "premium"? I feel like there should be something sounding a little less clumsy than "premiumness". If not, could you think of a substantive synonym to replace it? Thanks very much for your consideration.

I write for a car company and they really want to emphasise that the new version is now "premium". I think high quality could work actually though. I was just hoping there was some other word for "premiumness" that I'd forgotten about - do you know what I mean, that the word "premiumness" doesn't sound very premium at all?

I think "premiumness" is a pretty ugly word. That is my main impression of it.

I guess another solution would be to recast the sentence so you could use the word "premium" itself, but I expect you have already considered that.
