    Midsized and large sedans are still a smart choice for many consumers. 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. 

    There are many competent options to choose from in the midsized and large sedan segments. But when you’re looking for the best sedan, merely meeting expectations isn’t enough.

    That’s why Consumer Reports tests all the sedans on the market and gives them an Overall Score. This is a combination of their road-test score, reliability rating, owner satisfaction rating, and performance in crash tests. We award additional points when automatic emergency braking (AEB), AEB that works at highway speeds, blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) are standard equipment.

    Below are the 10 best mainstream midsized and large sedans. We’ve listed them in order of their Overall Score, which is a combination of all these factors. Some of the models have our Green Choice designation, which highlights the vehicles with the cleanest emissions.
