While many American car buyers have shifted their allegiances to crossover utility vehicles, many others remain stalwart fans of midsize sedans. The reasons are understandable. Midsize sedans offer a winning cocktail of interior space, ride comfort, convenience features, and reasonable cost to own.
Spurred by intense competition, carmakers now fill their midsize sedans with features that were the province of elite luxury vehicles just a few years ago. And midsize cars are more reliable than they have ever been. So, by and large, midsize sedans are an incredible value.
One area where carmakers have increased the value quotient exponentially is safety. Midsize sedans from a variety of manufacturers offer their buyers robust collections of advanced driver assistance systems. Lifesaving gear like forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assistance are standard equipment on many midsize sedans.
At the same time, automakers fill their contemporary four-doors to the roof with thoughtful comfort and convenience items. Multiple cupholders, fold-down rear-seat armrests, storage bins, and USB ports dot the interiors of most midsize sedans. With split-folding rear seatbacks, some sedans can double as station wagons.
But the best sedans aren't simply a collection of features and equipment. One of their most appealing aspects is the driving enjoyment they offer. With plenty of horsepower, intelligently tuned suspensions, and well-engineered steering and braking systems, the most engaging midsize sedans deliver on-road dynamics that resemble those of sports cars from just a decade ago.
While some might suggest that sedans will soon be extinct, the fact is current sedans are better than ever. This carefully compiled list will help you discover the best midsize sedan for your needs.
