Top Ten Sedans of The Year
Sedans are not meant to excite you or give you false hopes that you can tread anywhere. Every time you see a sedan, you usually expect a calm and composed interior with a dash of sophistication as if you’re living in a palace. Performance is not always a priority but that never stopped manufacturers from equipping a V6 or V8 to them.
What makes sedan stand apart from other cars like hatchbacks, saloons or SUVs is their stance. If you see a sedan parked on a road, you know for sure certain things, one, they’re luxurious and two, their capability to have fun. Based on the safety features, reliability and the plethora of options that are available in today’s cars, here is a list of the top 10 sedans that are currently on sale now.

The interior, roomier and has safety features like forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.
The only downside of the Camry, which is also not that disappointing, is it’s driving nature. The Camry isn’t that engaging to drive compared to the likes of the Honda Accord or a Mazda 6. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t drive well. The Camry is a clever car and consumes fuel efficiently to give you a driving experience, where you don’t have to look at the fuel gauge every now and then.

Apart from that Mazda offers three engine variants, and all three consume fuel efficiently. While the base engine returns a fuel efficiency of 37 mpg, the higher variant with a turbo returns a fuel efficiency of 36 mpg.

Honda manages to offer exactly so with the new Civic. Sure, you have the more aggressive and sportier Type R but the Civic is no short of excitement either.
The best part of the Civic is that this is a compact sedan. Apart from a very unorthodox design sense, the Civic offers a very engaging drive, thanks to the exciting peppy four-cylinder in-line engine. It has managed to bridge the gap between comfort and driving engagement.
Genesis G70
Genesis with their G70 is a very purpose-driven vehicle. Its aim is simple, to give German car stiff competition and the G70 manages to hit the bullseye.

The C-Class has a touchpad-operated 10.3 infotainment display with navigation and a 12.3 inch digital gauge display.
What hampers the C-Class package is the engine. Merc’s 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and nine-speed automatic transmission are not the best in the market. So, if you’re someone who likes to indulge in comfort and luxury more than having an engaging drive, the C-Class will be your perfect choice.
Nissan Altima

Audi A6
The Audi A6 will blow you with its elegantly styled exterior and charming interior. Unlike, it’s German counterparts ever since Volkswagen bought the company, they were struggling to have an identity of their own. So, in their bid to look unique Audi has invested enough cash and time to make sure they’re not just another Volkswagen.
The A6’ turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 produces 335 horsepower and mated to Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel drive, the A6 is pretty exciting to drive too.
