No one will tell you full-size sedans are the flavor of the month. The number of full-size sedans on the market has declined steadily over the past two decades, and sales have gone in the same direction. But though the big sedan is largely a thing of the past, the few that remain on the market are undoubtedly the best full-size sedans ever built. In terms of quality, reliability, comfort, power, handling, and fuel economy, big sedans from the "good old days" can't come close to the all-around goodness of today's full-size sedans.
One reason that contemporary sedans are so good is the rising tide of technology. Most advanced driver assistance systems work as well on full-size sedans as they do on SUVs, minivans, and trucks. Because of that, automakers can equip even Old School large sedans with new tech to protect drivers, passengers, and nearby pedestrians and cyclists.
The same logic holds for comfort and convenience items. With economies of scale working in their favor, carmakers can install handy systems like remote engine start, keyless entry, and rain-sensing windshield wipers on their big sedans. And when it comes to adding luxury, the sky is the limit. Heated and ventilated leather seats, genuine wood, and real metal trim all fit seamlessly into a full-size sedan's cabin.
Not everyone wants a full-size sedan. But those who do will find this list of the best full-size sedans a helpful guide to a species that can fulfill every promise they make, and maybe a few more.
