Remember that roomy four-door you napped in as a kid? There's a good chance it was a midsize sedan. Today's models continue to offer impressive comfort and features for the money.

1^st

Redesigned in 2021

Kia K5

Edmunds Rating: 8.3_/10

The new Kia K5 has the style and substance to stand apart from other midsize sedans. It's incredibly easy to drive, with a great suspension and an exceptionally quiet cabin that make it comfortable for long trips. The K5 also maintains Kia's traditional edge in value, but bottom line, it's simply the best car in this class. Read full review

Toyota Camry

Edmunds Rating: 8.1_/10

The latest Toyota Camry now has an all-hybrid lineup and it makes perfect sense for this moment. Besides its great mpg, the Camry has a roomy and comfortable cabin, many helpful technology features, and just enough athleticism and style to make it not boring.

Redesigned in 2023

Honda Accord

Edmunds Rating: 7.9_/10

The latest Accord is a solid choice for a family sedan. It's roomy, practical and easy to drive. It's also impressively fuel-efficient if you get the hybrid powertrain. But some of the Accord's newest tech and features are exclusively available on the top trim level, the Touring. Overall, the Accord just doesn't stand out in the class like it used to.

Nissan Altima

Edmunds Rating: 7.5_/10

The Nissan Altima has a comfortable ride and comes standard with many helpful driver assist features. But poor visibility and a lack of interior refinement hold it back from being a top-tier sedan. Read full review

7^th

Redesigned in 2016

Nissan Maxima

Edmunds Rating: 7.4_/10

The stylish Nissan Maxima isn't like most other offerings in this class. It's sportier than the typical midsize family sedan, but it's equipped and priced more like a large sedan. As such, the Maxima is a niche offering, but one with unique appeal. Read full review

MSRP: $38,340 - $44,450

Combined MPG: 24

8^th

Redesigned in 2020

Subaru Legacy

Edmunds Rating: 7.4_/10

The Legacy's standard all-wheel-drive system makes it a sensible pick for those who have to deal with slippery roads for much of the year. Subaru's available tech and safety features should appeal widely as well. Read full review

Audi A7

Edmunds Rating: 8.1_/10

You'll be drawn to the Audi A7's clean, chiseled exterior, but it's the versatile hatchback cargo area, refined performance and exquisite interior craftsmanship that will likely win you over. It may cost a little more than the closely related A6 sedan, but it's easy to rationalize that premium. Read full review

Lexus ES

Edmunds Rating: 8.0_/10

The Lexus ES has long been a staple for those simply looking for a roomy, dependable luxury sedan. The latest generation sports surprisingly agile handling and excellent interior materials. The infotainment interface, however, has still to win over any fans. Read full review

Introduced in 2020

Cadillac CT5

Edmunds Rating: 7.8_/10

The Cadillac CT5 replaces the CTS as the Detroit-based automaker's midsize luxury sedan. It's handsome and packs a ton of features for far less money than what you'll find coming out of Germany. But the CT5 can't match its European rivals in terms of performance, comfort, or build quality. Read full review

Acura TLX

Best Midsize performance sedans

The midsize performance sedan has traditionally ruled the roost when it comes to four-door fun. Expect face-flattening acceleration, track-ready handling and the latest tech inside.

Audi RS 6

Edmunds Rating: 8.6_/10

It's not cheap, but the RS 6 feels like two cars for the money. Around town, it's an extremely comfortable and well-crafted luxury wagon. But push the RS button on the steering wheel and the RS 6 becomes a rewarding and comically quick performance car. Read full review

Audi RS 7

Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing

Edmunds Rating: 8.4_/10

Cadillac's been in the business of making some seriously fast sedans for over a decade, but none has ever been as cohesive and deeply impressive as the CT5-V Blackwing. It's a comfortable, powerful and great-handling sedan. And if you needed a bonus, the Cadillac even comes with a six-speed manual transmission. Read full review

Acura TLX Type S

Edmunds Rating: 7.7_/10

The Acura TLX Type S presents a compelling alternative to traditional sport luxury sedans. It may not have the potency of a BMW M5, but thanks to an excellent all-wheel-drive system, a robust set of standard features, and a price below most other rivals, the TLX Type S makes for a practical, everyday car that still lots of fun to drive.

Maserati Ghibli Trofeo

Edmunds Rating: 7.7_/10

The Ghibli Trofeo takes a more relaxed and balanced approach to the high-performance sedan formula. Sure, it'll do 203 mph, but the Ghibli Trofeo doesn't wear its performance on its sleeve. However, the competition offers nearly obsessive levels of detailing and precision that this Italian sedan can't always match. Read full review
