2026 Toyota Camry
Edmunds Rating
8.4/10
The latest Toyota Camry now has an all-hybrid lineup and it makes perfect sense for this moment. Besides its great mpg, the Camry has a roomy and comfortable cabin, many helpful technology features, and just enough athleticism and style to make it not boring. It's a great pick for a midsize sedan.

2026 Honda Accord Hybrid
Edmunds Rating
8.3/10
The latest Accord is a solid choice for a family sedan. It's roomy, practical and easy to drive. It's also impressively fuel-efficient if you get the hybrid powertrain. But some of the Accord's newest tech and features are exclusively available on the top trim level, the Touring. Overall, the Accord just doesn't stand out in the class like it used to.

2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The Sonata Hybrid has all the typical Sonata traits we like, such as a smooth ride and a generous list of standard features. It's a solid all-around pick for a hybrid sedan.
MSRP
$29,200 - $38,250
Combined MPG
47 - 51
4th
2026 Hyundai Sonata
Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The Sonata has the aura of a more expensive vehicle. It's boldly stylish and is backed by an outstanding warranty. When it comes to delivering everything you need in a midsize family sedan, the Sonata rarely disappoints.
MSRP
$27,450 - $38,250
Combined MPG
27 - 51
5th
2026 Kia K5
Edmunds Rating
7.5/10
The Kia K5 impresses with updated looks, new features, and a stylish design. It’s comfortable, packed with tech, and offers great value with its long warranty and competitive price. While the new engine lacks a bit of power, the K5 remains an excellent choice for its overall appeal.
MSRP
$27,490 - $34,990
Combined MPG
27 - 30
6th
2026 Nissan Altima
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
The Nissan Altima has a comfortable ride and comes standard with many helpful driver assist features. But poor visibility and a lack of interior refinement hold it back from being a top-tier sedan.
MSRP
$27,580 - $30,480
Combined MPG
28 - 30

1st
2026 Lexus ES
Edmunds Rating
8.3/10
The Lexus ES is one of your best options for a luxury sedan. It's impressively roomy and comfortable, and its tech features are helpful and easy to use. It's also available as a hybrid or a fully electric version to help you save on gas. The only thing missing is performance, but if comfortable, easy transportation is your aim, look no further.
MSRP
$49,700 - $55,900
Combined MPG
44 - 46
2nd
2026 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
Luxury and comfort are the undisputed strengths of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It has an incredibly smooth ride and a classy and well-built cabin. The E-Class is more expensive than its rivals, but it's easy to see why.
MSRP
$63,900 - $89,600
Combined MPG
24 - 28
3rd
2027 BMW 5 Series
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
In a way, the BMW 5 Series checks the right luxury-sedan boxes. It's quiet, high-tech, quick, and it balances handling and a comfortable ride. But it lacks the engaging driving experience associated with the German brand, making it feel more like a finely crafted luxury appliance than an exciting BMW.
MSRP
$60,500 - $75,500
Combined MPG
25 - 31
4th
2027 Genesis G80
Edmunds Rating
6.7/10
The Genesis G80 offers the same luxury and refinement as its European rivals, plus lots of features for the price. The new infotainment interface introduces usability challenges, but overall we recommend the G80 if you're looking for an alternative to the midsize sedan status quo.
MSRP
$59,450 - $80,150
Combined MPG
18 - 23
5th
2026 Cadillac CT5
Edmunds Rating
5.8/10
The Cadillac CT5 comes with a lot of features and costs less than its European competition. But it comes up short on comfort and overall refinement.
MSRP
$48,600 - $97,600
Combined MPG
15 - 26

Best Midsize performance sedans

2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53 Wagon
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid wagon is fast, practical and stylish. The plug-in hybrid powertrain also allows for 40-plus miles of all-electric driving, if that's your thing. However, the E 53 suffers from an overly firm ride, and not all of our drivers love the car's screen-intensive interior.
MSRP
$78,300 - $93,350
Combined MPG
22 - 25
2nd
2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is an exemplar of both comfort and luxury, and the AMG E 53 adds a healthy dollop of performance to that equation. Smooth, elegant and seriously quick, the E 53 doesn't compromise the E-Class' core values in its quest to provide an engaging drive.
MSRP
$89,600 - $93,350
Combined MPG
22 - 24
3rd
2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
Cadillac's been in the business of making some seriously fast sedans for over a decade, but none has ever been as cohesive and deeply impressive as the CT5-V Blackwing. It's a comfortable, powerful and great-handling sedan. And if you needed a bonus, the Cadillac even comes with a six-speed manual transmission.
MSRP
$48,600 - $97,600
Combined MPG
15 - 26
4th
2027 BMW M5 Touring
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
The BMW M5 Touring helps keep the high-performance wagon dream alive in the U.S. Its technology features, interior quality and everyday practicality are beyond reproach, but a heavy curb weight dampens its performance capabilities.
MSRP
$123,300 - $125,300
Combined MPG
13 - 14
5th
2027 BMW M5
Edmunds Rating
6.2/10
The BMW M5 is supposed to do a little bit of everything. The redesigned M5 offers some striking numbers and a great interior, but it has gained half a ton in weight and lost some of its dynamic talents in the process. If you want one, don't let us stop you — just know this M5 isn't as sharp as the M5s of old.
MSRP
$123,300
Combined MPG
14
6th
2026 Cadillac CT5-V
Edmunds Rating
5.8/10
The Cadillac CT5-V is a satisfying sport sedan. It lacks the straight-line speed of its German rivals, but it handles well and comes with many of the latest tech features. It's a viable alternative to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class, though it's not as refined as these pricier options.
MSRP
$57,600
Combined MPG
21
