New pics
I agree I with the gradient filter and the use of curves. I didn't even touch either function in my post processing.
Saturation and clarity is a little high for my tastes. I try to avoid introducing things like the color casts in the windows but if you love the look as is and want to avoid that you can always PP in some window tint.

If it was my photo, I would have taken the time to remove the aqua tones as seen in the windows, water, and a little in the mountains and sky. I also would have worked on individual characteristics of the car, such as the fog lamps, to bring out the texture. I also would have done a separate curves mask on the ground and adjust overall saturation.
But this is your photo, so I didn't take the time to do anything extensive. I was just hoping to offer another option. Thanks for your feedback. A simple "S" curve can really do wonders for a photo, and I always 'play around' with them a little before finalizing a photo.
I'm glad to see you prefer the natural look. I believe that's what real photography is all about. Composites have their place, but the ability to edit a photo to look like what your eyes saw in the moment is a great goal to strive for.
