Millions of people choose sedans and hatchbacks for comfort and practicality. Four doors make it easy to accommodate all passengers, plus a trunk. There are currently two opposing trends in the segment. The first is the desire for luxury, the second is the opposite, to make everything cheaper. What they all have in common is improved fuel efficiency.

Subcompact class

#1 Ford Fiesta Sedan/Hatchback

The car is purely for the city. Management with a focus on sports. 4 cylinder engine, all wheel drive. There is an interesting option with a 123-horsepower 3-cylinder engine, but only with a manual transmission. There are many niches in the cabin for various little things. Visibility is excellent thanks to the narrow pillars. Plus latest version Ford Sync 3 information system.

#2 Honda Fit Hatchback

Last year, the Honda Fit was completely redesigned externally, now it is a miracle in terms of capacity. The rear “magic” seat folds into a flat floor. There is a lot of space in the back. In addition to its capacity, the Fit consumes little and drives briskly for its 1.5-liter engine.

#3 Hyundai Accent Sedan/Hatchback

The machine is optimal in size and price. Performance is closer to flagships. Interior and comfort are on par with competitors. Extended warranty like a cousin Kia Rio. Both accents, the sedan and the hatchback, are very roomy, easy to drive and nice on the inside.

#4 Mini Cooper Hatchback/Convertible

The bold, updated Mini Cooper breathes life into the subcompact class. Now the joy of driving is perfectly combined with 4 doors. And although the latest generations look a little strange from some angles, the cars are nevertheless spacious and practical. The price is really sky high compared to its competitors, but overall I’m pleased with the quality, performance, and many options.

Class Compact

#5 Kia Forte Sedan/Hatchback

Extended chassis warranty - 10 years, and amazing hardware. Buy or lease with confidence, the car accelerates well with all three available engines, has a sharp appearance and a spacious interior. The interior is friendly, high quality, with a classic design. 4 doors for the sedan and 5 for the hatch.

#6 Mazda 3 Sedan/Hatchback

A car with an established reputation. Offers the driver responsive handling, competitive performance and a distinctive difference. The current version is also very economical, with an elastic chassis, plenty of space for passengers, a long list technical features, friendly management and leading interior quality.

#7 Volkswagen Golf Hatchback

All of our compact car recommendations are based on the assumption that you're buying more than just an economical car. Volkswagen Golf has gone further; it is a comfortable and down-to-earth car. The salon is packed with top-end interior details. The standard turbo engine allows for both advanced acceleration and fuel efficiency. The Golf can only be purchased in the Hatchback body. The Jetta sedan is a completely different car.

#8 Ford Focus Sedan/Hatchback

The Focus isn't a segment leader, but it's still a good choice. Overall the car has decent quality and handling. Ford made a compromise between comfort and control. From technical innovations- Ford Sync 3 information system, top-end interior materials, sedan and hatchback body options. However, we do not recommend taking the 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine; its efficiency and performance are disappointing.

Midsize class

#9 Ford Fusion Sedan

Attractive appearance, precise controls, elastic suspension, quiet interior, luxury interior trim. Fusion also offers a wide selection power plants- two energetic 4-cylinder turbo engines and a pair of hybrid models.

#10 Honda Accord Sedan

A typical representative of a family sedan, as it should be. Honda follows tradition, it is safe, spacious, easy to drive. New features for 2016 include a refreshed exterior, new Apple CarPlay capabilities, and Android Auto app integration. Efficient and powerful 4- and 6-cylinder engines are available, plus hybrid and plug-in hybrid. In many ways, the Accord is the benchmark.

#11 Mazda 6 Sedan

If you like to drive and are looking at a midsize sedan, get the Mazda 6. Even if you don't like to drive, it's still a great choice. Just take a look at this. A sleek exterior, comfortable suspension, excellent efficiency (even without a hybrid option) and a spacious interior. In 2016, an even nicer design, even better materials and the best interface technologies in the segment were added.

#12 Hyundai Sonata Sedan

Externally, it is not at all similar to the previous generation and does not look sporty, however, as a family sedan it is just right. The new Sonata is price/quality. Extended warranty only for cousin Kia Optima. The interior is very spacious, usability is excellent, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now available. For efficiency fans, there will also be a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.

#13 Toyota Camry Sedan

The Toyota Camry has been a bestseller for many years, but in our test we found it to be one of the best midsize sedans. Toyota makes certain changes every year, this year the body and suspension have been updated, now it’s even more pleasant to drive, no matter the LE and XLE versions, or the more sophisticated SE and XSE. The interior has also been redesigned, with the Entune touchscreen interface now standard. Camry is at the top, although it may not be the best.

Fullsize class

#14 Toyota Avalon Sedan

Last year's model is in the top full-size sedans for several reasons. Attractive style, spaciousness, sound insulation, large trunk, and efficiency is above average. How about a 268-horsepower V6? Acceleration is fire, and the suspension provides tenacious handling. Hybrid models available. The interior finishing is masterful, and high-quality materials bring the model closer to entry-level premium sedans.

#15 Dodge Charger Sedan

The Charger is powerful, strong, with a rich heritage. With a dizzying number of variations, engines and options that keep it apart from others on the list. Rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. No other full-size sedan offers such a spectrum of power, from the base V6 to the incredible supercharged 707-horsepower Charger Hellcat. In addition, all Chargers have a spacious interior, a soft chassis and one of the best touchscreen interfaces.

#16 Kia Cadenza Sedan

While other large sedans in this class focus on performance and handling, the Kia Cadenza is luxurious and insulated from the outside world. At any speed and on any road surface, it's quiet inside. Similarly, any cracks in the coating can be passed unnoticed. It accelerates easily, but the performance is still not enough for sharp maneuvers. Considering the wealth of equipment found in more expensive luxury sedans, the Kia Cadenza is an excellent choice for the budget.

Lux Compact class

#17 Audi A3 Sedan/Hatchback/Convertible

This year the Audi A3 has efficient engines, but only petrol ones. Redesigned steering and suspension. The handling is nimble, the suspension is soft and elastic. In addition to the exterior, the interior is beautiful and meticulous in detail. Overall, the Audi A3 balances comfort, luxury, performance, with a compact size and a relatively reasonable price.

Luxury Midsize class

#18 Audi A4 Sedan

The main feature of the A4 is a full range of driving from comfort to sport, plus a refined exterior and interior. The engine is a turbo 4-cylinder 220 horsepower. The Audi S4 has a charged V6. The A4 doesn’t have it because of balance; the engine in the Audi A4 is both powerful and economical. As standard, the model comes with front-wheel drive and a CVT, all-wheel drive is optional. Boxes are also optionally available - 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic. The quality of the interior is impressive. A completely updated A4 will be released next year, but we recommend this one too.

#19 BMW 3 Series Sedan/Wagon

When this model arrived, no one was as revered as the BMW 3 Series, thanks to its almost magical suspension and handling. It is still the most luxurious sedan, with very comfortable seats, an abundance of comfort and technical features, and premium materials. Overpriced hybrid aside, all three rubles earn our approval. A benchmark in its class, a mixture of power and efficiency. If driving is important to you, there is nothing to think about.

#20 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe Sedan

At first glance, the BMW 4 Series doesn't make much of an impression. The 4-door hatchback coupe costs more than the 3 Series, but has less rear seat space. In truth, it's all about style, with the added utility of a hatchback-like boot. Undoubtedly, the 4 Series Gran Coupe has all the attributes of a BMW - super technologically advanced but efficient engines, fantastic handling and premium materials in the finishing. Available engines are 4-cylinder turbo 240 horsepower, 6-cylinder turbo 300 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

#21 Infiniti Q50S Sedan

The Q50S has progressed through its transformation from the mid-range Q50 to one of the best luxury midsize sedans. The engine is installed 3.7 liter V6 with 328 horsepower. The transmission is a fast 7-speed. Rear-wheel drive is default, all-wheel drive is an option. The interior is pleasant and beautiful, despite the elaborate touchscreen display.

#22 Lexus IS 350 Sedan

The Lexus IS 350 luxuriously balances responsive handling, a powerful V6 and comfort that is often missing in sports sedans. The interior is carefully finished as you'd expect from a Lexus, but the high-tech design is a far cry from what we get from luxury Toyotas, and that's a good thing. Unlike previous generations IS, the rear bench can be occupied by adults and is comparable to other roomier members of the class. Keep in mind, however, that we only recommend the IS 350. We've already tested the IS 200t and the all-wheel-drive IS 300.

#23 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan

The Mercedes C-Class received a redesign this year and a new sophisticated style borrowed from the S-Class. The dynamics have been improved, the interior has been improved. This year the range of models has been expanded. In addition to the four-cylinder C300 are the diesel C300d, the plug-in hybrid C350e, a pair of AMG C63 models with turbocharged V8s and the C450 AMG, which fills the void between the C63 twins and the regular C-Class. Whichever model you choose, you'll get a truly expressive luxury sedan.

Luxury Fulsize class

#24 Audi A6 Sedan

The refined interior and abundance of technology in the Audi A6 make this sedan our favorite. It is as comfortable as a premium sedan should be. It also inspires confidence with its precise handling when active driving. The Audi A6 isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The 2016 version received many new improvements, including definitely more powerful 4- and 6-cylinder petrol engines, an update to the MMI info system and minor design changes. We also recommend the high-performance Audi S6.

#25 Audi A7 Sedan

Everything we said about the Audi A6 also applies to its A7 sibling. You can re-read it a little higher) What makes the Audi A7 different is its sleeker design and unique hatchback-style body. This resulted in less rear seat space, more trunk space and a higher price. 10,000 dollars more expensive than the A6. However, this super luxury sedan provides ample comfort, features and performance. We also recommend the high-performance Audi S7.

#26 BMW 5 Series Sedan/Gran Turismo

Even though it's last year Before its complete redesign, the BMW 5 Series is the all-time leader among midsize luxury sedans. While earlier BMW 5s were known for their sporting qualities, the current version places an emphasis on comfort and luxury. That being said, it is still a very capable machine. Our editors commend the 535d diesel for delivering great performance with outstanding refinement and fuel efficiency.

#27 Mercedes-Benz E-class Sedan/Coupe/Wagon/Convertible

There is not a single area in which the Mercedes E-Class outshines its opponents; rather, there is simply nothing to compare it with. From the signature comfortable ride and whisper-quiet cabin to the thud with which the doors close, the E-Class delivers accordingly. As an added bonus, it represents the strong design associated with Benzes of yesteryear. Under the hood you will find engines from the E250 Bluetec diesel to the 577-horsepower AMG E63 S, and in between the V6 E400 and E550 V8.

Luxury Flagship class

#28 Audi A8 Sedan

Like any other in this category, the Audi A8 provides a supremely luxurious interior with top materials and comprehensive high-tech features. At the same time, the A8 is a real athlete on the road, allowing you to forget about the size of this flagship. Power units This ship is also significantly different from its rivals. The super-charged 3.0T V6 should be enough for most, while the 4.0T turbo V8 will be ideal for those who enjoy an abundance of power. At the same time, the 500-horsepower W12 is a complete disappointment.

#29 Bentley Flying Spur Sedan

There are already better-equipped luxury sedans in this category for half the price of $200,000, but none offer the exclusivity or immaculate, vintage opulence and craftsmanship of this grand Bentley. A metal shift knob, noise-cancelling air ducts, stunning veneers and the softest leather imaginable are just a few of its indulgences. Despite its size, the Flying Spur also delivers stunning performance, which complements its secluded ride and confident handling. The price may be questionable, but you will enjoy it without question.

#30 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan

At once the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz line and a recognized technology leader, the big, fast and beautiful Mercedes S-Class is the measure of everything that other full-size sedans have been measured by. Countless advanced safety technologies (including near-full autopilot), ostentatiously valuable luxury perks (six seat massage settings) and variable game form engineering advances (such as Magic Body Control for the suspension, which automatically adjusts settings to the bumps in the road ahead), are just some of the possibilities. Plus, a range of world-class engines are available.

#31 Porsche Panamera Sedan

Despite its awkward proportions, the Porsche Panamera is fast, focused and especially mannered and continues to be drivers' choice of full-size luxury sedans. You can choose between a turbo V6, V8, turbo V8 and a supercharged V6 with plug-in hybrid to explore exactly how Porsche earned its reputation. There really isn't a full-size sedan that hugs curves as confidently as the Panamera does. Plus, the Executive model puts it on par with its competitors for rear legroom.

#32 Rolls-Royce Ghost Sedan

Rolls-Royce has long been the gold standard for luxury cars. Even at the base, the 2015 Ghost fills Britain's decade of legacy marques with incredible luxury cars coupled with polished performance. Royce's Ghost offers exemplary materials, sophisticated craftsmanship, a nearly silent turbo V12 and active air suspension for an incredibly plush ride. Even the standard wheelbase version offers amazing handling capabilities, while the extended wheelbase version offers limousine-like rear space. For those who can't justify spending $400,000 on a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a quarter of a million dollars for a Ghost may meet their uncompromising needs.

#33 Tesla Model S Sedan

In addition to being the most desirable electric car in the world, the 2015 Tesla Model C is simply one of the best luxury sedans, no matter where the power comes from. The line of rear-wheel drive Teslas is rich in options for 302, 362 and 416 horsepower engines, and there is an all-wheel drive version of the Model S-D with a dual engine. Not only does the latter provide better grip, but the top-of-the-line P85D accelerates this sedan from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating sedan of all time.

An article about the 10 most popular sedans in the world, their main features and characteristics. At the end of the article there is a video of tests of affordable sedans.

Cars of this class occupy a special place in the Russian market, where they are considered the most respectable, regardless of cost.

Rating of the most popular sedans in the world

Good sales are facilitated by the brand's reputation, as well as careful design of the car, adding solidity and similarity to the more expensive Jetta.

Excellent aerodynamics, availability of trim levels with powerful engine and the wide possibilities of transforming the interior allow you to attract the widest possible target audience. It should be noted that with each new generation the car moves away from the budget image, so whether it will be able to maintain its popularity in the future remains questionable.

3. Toyota Camry

In the business class, the Japanese sedan traditionally leads with an impeccable reputation and image of a car with ideal performance, the widest level of equipment and an unsurpassed level of comfort. Sales volume amounted to 754,154 units.

The spacious interior and radical design update in the latest generation have made the car one of the most popular. And the appearance in the line of a budget two-liter engine, as well as one derated to 249 hp. top-end - six-cylinder, made it possible to offer suitable configurations to car enthusiasts of different incomes.

Despite the fact that the technical level of a car is constantly growing, there are fewer and fewer people willing to pay a significant amount for a car with a reputation as an affordable folk product. Against this background, Ford even announced that it would revive the Escort project, which was replaced by Focus, but the global crisis did not allow these plans to come true.

Renault Logan sales started in 2004. As expected, prices were slightly higher, although base rate in Romania it was possible to keep it at the announced level. Since then, sales volumes have only grown every year, which is explained by the excellent combination of maintainability, cost and size of the car. It was he who dispelled the myth about the complexity of operation and maintenance of French cars and gained Renault popularity around the world.

The car is still sold in two generations, the main difference between which comes down to the new body, since the aggregate part has not undergone dramatic changes. In both cases the platform is the same – mass B0.

The latest generation of the model received a very impressive design, which made the car more aggressive and striking.

7.Hyundai Solaris

The third generation Accent, known on foreign markets like Verna, it breaks all sales records in Russia. This is facilitated by a unique combination of quality and bright design. At the beginning there were scandals associated with mediocre handling in corners and a tendency to skid rear axle, but timely work on the mistakes carried out by the manufacturer allowed buyers to discern a real “people's” car in this sedan.

The car is offered with two engines, 1.4 and 1.6 liters respectively, which allows you to forget about sporting ambitions. But an affordable price and bright appearance, combined with a powerful engine, would attract a significant part of the youth audience.

The car was originally designed as a budget car, so the not entirely rational selection of options for trim levels, forcing you to buy an expensive version just for the sake of rear windows or a passenger airbag, somewhat reduces its popularity.

The key to the success of a model with Korean roots is a well-known brand, a good level of equipment and a fairly attractive price.

The car is built on the global Delta II platform, which, by the way, has found application in the latest generation of Opel Astra. Initially, the design was carried out by Korean engineers from the Daewoo company, which after bankruptcy came under the wing of Chevrolet, which is why in the eastern markets the model was called Daewoo Lacetti.

Without being too fancy, the Passat offers levels of comfort on par with premium German and Japanese brands, allowing it to compete with them on an almost equal footing.

The eighth generation of the car made it possible to regain its former popularity, since the previous one was nothing more than a modernization of the sixth generation, dating back to 2005, which caused the predicted decline in sales. The model is still conservative and focused on the age target audience, which is manifested both in the appearance and in the interior design.

Conclusion

Thus, despite all their impracticality, especially in a modern metropolis, sedans remain quite popular all over the world. It must be admitted that in Europe this trend is already fading, and compact hatchbacks are taking over, but the American, Asian and Russian markets still allow hundreds of thousands of such cars to be sold.

Despite the common platform with Solaris, Rio has a more expressive appearance and a more interesting interior. Due to the tighter suspension, the Kia is more willing to turn into corners, and the only criticism is that it is excessive nervousness when overcoming potholes. We are also pleased with the quality of assembly and finishing materials, and the interior is spacious for this class, although it will be difficult for three people to sit on the sofa. Buyers have the opportunity to choose from a variety of modifications.

Used prestige

Having up to a million in domestic currency in your pocket, you can take a closer look at well-equipped cars of prestigious brands. But with one condition - if you are not embarrassed by a used car, even if it is in the last months of its warranty. For example, it is not a problem to find a two-year-old Lexus CT or, say, Infiniti G in Moscow for an amount not much exceeding 900 thousand. For the same money, you can actually find a one-year-old Audi A4 without straining too much.

A higher class

Cars of a higher class also fit into the outlined framework. Do you want, for example, a Mondeo? Please. In a decent Titanium package it will cost you 929,000 rubles, but with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-liter 145-horsepower engine. The version with an automatic transmission will have to be purchased without alloy wheels, heated front seats and parking sensors for 989,000 rubles. You can get a two-pedal Mazda6 for 965 thousand, but only in the basic Drive version.
