We're charmed by the Toyota Crown's bold style, excellent ride comfort and spacious cabin. High fuel economy is another big bonus. Performance from the base engine is lacking, and some shoppers may balk at the price, but overall we highly recommend the Crown for sedan shoppers seeking something different from the norm.

Best Large luxury sedans

The typical large luxury sedan shifts the focus from driver engagement to passenger comfort, pairing stretched dimensions with available niceties like reclining and massaging rear seats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best Large performance sedans

"Large performance sedan" used to be an oxymoron, but modern engineering has transformed these land yachts into bona fide sporting machines.

The Alpina B8 is a sleek four-door coupe that will happily whisk you around town or across the continent with both grace and pace. If the M8 Gran Coupe is a bit too in your face and a Bentley Flying Spur screams "Russian oligarch" to you, the Alpina will hit the spot.

The Audi S8 masterfully blends luxury, comfort and speed, allowing you to engage or isolate yourself based on your mood. It boasts cutting-edge technology but also embraces a touch of old-school purity with its thumping turbocharged V8.

BMW took its rebooted 8 Series, stretched it and added two more doors, providing real passenger space and decent utility for people with families. Armed with a 600-horsepower twin-turbo V8 (617 hp in Competition trim), the M8 Gran Coupe moves as good as it looks.

The AMG GT sedan doesn't quite measure up to the best performance sedans. You get a great engine, comfortable seats, super-premium materials and taut handling. But you also get a somewhat cluttered interior, a slightly stiff but noisy ride, and a relatively numb driving experience.
