I’ve been in the market for a midsize sedan for a while. My wife and I currently share a small SUV and, with our family growing, we really need two cars. Being a former Porsche mechanic, I have a love for luxury vehicles. So, in my search for the right midsize sedan, I’ve come across some really great options. Whether you’re after cutting-edge tech or unmatched luxury, these eight midsize sedans stand out as the best of 2024.
8. Acura TLX
The TLX offers a great driving experience and doesn’t have the same price tag as some of the other sedans listed here. A 2024 Acura TLX starts at $45,000 and still has a bold, athletic design. When it comes to the interior, Acura’s TLX is made with high-quality materials. It also has a 10.2-inch infotainment display. Not to mention, it comes equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Best of all, you can opt for the Type S model, which comes with a turbocharged V6. This makes it more competitive with some of the performance-focused sedans on the list.
7. Jaguar XF
A Jaguar will always stand out in the crowd. The 2024 Jag XF features a number of exterior updates, but the interior is what’s really impressive. It is equipped with soft leather seats and has a number of spectacular trim options. On top of that, it has the latest technology. Its Pivi Pro infotainment system has a 12.3-inch screen. The 2024 Jaguar XF starts at $49,800, but it has note-worthy performance with the turbocharged engine options.
6. Volvo S90
Volvo, as a brand, has been growing on me. The 2024 Volvo S90 is a nice-looking car. It combines Volvo’s signature minimalism with top-tier safety features. This model of S90 also has one of the most advanced air-purification systems in the industry. Not to mention, it offers a mild hybrid engine. There are also plug-in hybrid versions available. Oh, and it has features like Pilot Assist, which makes traveling easier and safer.
5. Genesis G80
Where luxury sedans are concerned, Genesis is becoming a brand to take note of. In 2024, the Genesis G80 prices for this sleek-looking car start at $54,400. When you get inside, you’ll be surprised. It has a leather interior and an open-pore wood trim. What will really catch your eye is the car’s enormous 14.5-inch infotainment system. There are also a number of different engine options for this model, one of which is a turbocharged V6. This vehicle is truly perfect for people who want luxury without the price markup.
4. Lexus ES
The 2024 Lexus ES comes in a little cheaper than the Genesis, with prices starting at $42,040. Like the other cars on this list, it has top-notch technology throughout the car, controlling your driving experience and ensuring your safety. Again, there are various engine options for the Lexus ES. There is even a hybrid version available for drivers looking to maximize fuel efficiency without giving up on luxury.
3. Audi A6
Audi is another brand I’ve come to love. It has become on par with beloved brands like BMW and Mercedes. The SUV we own is an Audi. Their sedans don’t disappoint either. The A6’s design got a bit of an overhaul in 2024, with the front grille being a bit bigger than previous models. The interior is definitely minimalist, which I don’t hate, but it’s not as impressive as some of the other vehicles listed. There are multiple turbocharged engine options available as well as a mild-hybrid system. Prices for the 2024 A6 start at $58,100 and is a compelling choice for those seeking out quiet luxury.
2. BMW 5 Series
Surprisingly, the starting price point for the BMW 5 Series is a little lower than the Audi at $57,900. The BMW places a focus on luxury and performance. Its interior has spacious seating and state-of-the-art technology with an iDrive system. There are a number of 5 Series options available, even a plug-in hybrid option. The combination of performance, comfort, and the suite of driver-assist features makes the 5 Series a top contender in the midsize luxury sedan market.
1. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
You can’t go wrong with a Mercedes. Luxury and Mercedes are practically synonymous. That said, it does come with a hefty price tag. The 2024 E-Class Starts at $62,300 and combines advanced tech and sleek exterior. This model boasts a bolder front grille and LED lighting. The car just looks good. Now, there aren’t as many engine options for the E-Class, but there doesn’t need to be. It is equipped with a mild hybrid, which offers smooth acceleration. For me, it’s a no-brainer, but really you’d be making a great choice with any of these cars on the list.
Luxury Sedans
Over the years, the automotive industry has evolved. Now, there are more options available with midsize luxury sedans than ever before. Whether you are looking for something with high performance, eco-friendly, or the top technology, there is something on this list for you. As the industry continues to change, the future for luxury sedans looks bright.
