    Midsized and large sedans remain a smart choice for many consumers because they effectively blend fuel economy, passenger room, cargo space, and flexibility into a package that’s often more enjoyable to drive than the average SUV. Still, SUVs continue to grow in popularity at the expense of the sedan market.

    Domestic automakers such as Ford and Chrysler/Dodge have exited the sedan market already. Chevrolet has also announced that it will end production of its midsized Malibu sedan later this year, with 2025 being the final model year. That leaves the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 as the only sedans in General Motors’ U.S. lineup.

    There are still many sedans available from a variety of automakers. But when you’re looking for the best sedan for your money, merely meeting expectations isn’t enough.

    More on Sedans

    That’s why Consumer Reports tests all the sedans on the market and gives them an Overall Score, which is a weighted composite of a vehicle’s performance in our road tests; the latest reliability and owner satisfaction results from CR’s exclusive Annual Auto Surveys; the availability of automatic emergency braking (AEB), AEB that works at highway speeds, blind spot warning (BSW), rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) and driver monitoring; and the results from government and insurance industry crash tests. We award additional points when those safety features are standard equipment, and note when they’re optional or not offered at all.

    Below are the best mainstream midsized and large sedans from our tests, listed in order of their Overall Score. Some of them have our Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions.
