    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.

    While a number of sedans have been discontinued or will be this year, there are still many available to choose from. 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 Auto Surveys; the results from government and insurance industry crash tests; and 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. 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. We typically aim for 10 choices for the list, but at this time, only nine qualify.

    If you’re a CR member, the list below is already available to you. But if you haven’t signed up yet, click below and become a member to access this list and all our exclusive ratings and reviews for each car we buy and test.
