Best Large Luxury Sedans of 2026 and 2027

The Edmunds experts test drive luxury sedan contenders on our test track and in the real world. Our ratings assess performance, comfort, technology, utility, value and more. How we rank luxury sedans
1st
2026 BMW 7 Series
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
The latest 7 Series is a worthy flagship for the BMW lineup. Its interior is suitably opulent and gigantic. The 7 Series can also be a technology powerhouse, highlighted by an available hands-free highway driving system and jaw-dropping 31-inch rear theater screen.
MSRP
$99,300 - $124,700
Combined MPG
20 - 28
2nd
2026 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Edmunds Rating
7.1/10
When it comes to comfort and refinement on four wheels, it really doesn't get much better than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It's proven itself one of the best cars on the road, with a luxuriously appointed interior and state-of-the-art in-car tech and driver aids. "The best or nothing" indeed.
MSRP
$119,500 - $189,800
Combined MPG
18 - 23
3rd
2026 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe
Edmunds Rating
7.0/10
We don't often recommend coupe-like sedans. But in the case of the 8 Series Gran Coupe, BMW created a winner. It looks sportier than your typical luxury sedan and still provides real passenger space and decent utility . And it's surprisingly fun to drive.
MSRP
$94,500 - $110,500
Combined MPG
19 - 24
4th
2026 Genesis G90
Edmunds Rating
6.7/10
The Genesis G90 is an appealing alternative to established flagship sedans. It's a stylish vehicle that also offers exceptional value, if such a thing can be said of a six-figure sedan. Cabin quality is impeccable and it's a pleasure to hop behind the wheel. Lackluster smartphone integration and a small trunk are the main qualities that underwhelm.
MSRP
$92,700 - $105,750
Combined MPG
20 - 21
5th
2027 Porsche Panamera
Edmunds Rating
6.1/10
The Porsche Panamera will impress you with its quick acceleration, engaging handling and practical cargo area. But its technology features and overall comfort lag behind what you get from other executive luxury sedans.
MSRP
$113,000 - $245,200
Combined MPG
18 - 21
6th
2026 Audi A8
Edmunds Rating
5.2/10
The Audi A8 is known for delivering sophisticated luxury and cutting-edge technology in a restrained fashion. It also serves as a rolling showcase of Audi's latest features and innovations. The A8 doesn't feel quite as special or cohesive as some of its luxury competition, however.
MSRP
$95,100
Combined MPG
