From efficient compacts to luxurious four doors on the leading edge of technology, sedans have been part of the U.S. automotive landscape for as long as there have been cars. Small sedans like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla remain some of the best ways to stretch your dollars, but electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 as well as electrified models like the Honda Accord Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid offer new ways to save money on fuel or avoid the gas pump altogether. Fun sport sedans like the Hyundai Elantra N and BMW M3 offer more practical alternatives to often cramped two-door sports cars. And for their refinement, premium sedans like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class can’t be beat. Find the best new sedans with MotorTrend Ultimate Car Rankings and the rest of the Buyer's Guide.
