+ 2023 Toyota Crown.
It has been 50 years since Toyota last sold its Crown sedan in the U.S., but the model was introduced in Japan in 1955 as the Toyopet Crown. It has been Toyota's mainstream sedan there ever since, the choice of families, executives, taxi drivers, and police.
By positioning the Crown as a premium model, Toyota is telling shoppers that this is a special vehicle, not to be confused with other midsize sedans. By offering two hybrid powertrains, one of them more performance-oriented, Toyota hopes the Crown will appeal to those seeking fuel efficiency and creature comforts as well as those hoping for a bit of twisty country road fun.

2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6.
Hyundai's decision to make the second of its Ioniq EV models a sedan brings a welcome bit of variety to an SUV-dominated market. Its arching, aerodynamic shape helps deliver up to 361 miles of driving range, but will give design pundits plenty to argue about. We find it attractive and better looking in person than in photos.
There aren't many sedans left in the market, and fewer still in the EV segment, so the Ioniq 6 pretty much stands alone.
2023 Mercedes‑Benz EQE Sedan.
Mercedes-Benz entered the EV market by starting the EQ sub-brand, introducing the EQS sedan last year with great success. The EQS is essentially an all-electric version of the iconic Mercedes S-Class flagship and the follow-up, the new EQE sedan, is a midsize version.
2023 Genesis Electrified G80.###
Its name is a bit awkward (why not just G80 EV?) but otherwise, the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80 survived the conversion from the gas-powered G80 with little to complain about. It is more of a grand tourer than a performance-oriented sport sedan, and its trunk capacity is subcompact, not midsize. Otherwise, the Electrified G80 ticks all the right boxes for a luxury midsize sedan.
While the EV has less trunk and headroom than the internal combustion version, it retains the nimble sure-footedness, power, and comfortable ride.
There’s a weight disparity, though. The Electrified G80 is almost 600 pounds heavier than the gas-burning version, and that’s after shedding the latter’s glass roof and spare tire and using high-strength aluminum instead of heavier steel in an assortment of body parts.

2024 BMW 7 Series.
Like its competitors, BMW has long used its 7 Series flagship luxury sedan to highlight engineering triumphs that eventually end up in more affordable models. Fresh off a redesign last year, the 2024 BMW 7 Series isn't heralding great developmental leaps, but this year's model is pushing deeper into electric power and updating its in-car tech interface.
2023 Subaru WRX.
There was a time when Subaru was known more for its rally racing program and sporty sedans than its outdoorsy wagons and SUVs. Now that we've confirmed Subaru's legendary WRX STI model will not return to the lineup, the 2023 WRX is the last performance car from Subaru. With 271 horsepower, along with standard all-wheel drive and a sport-tuned suspension, this compact sport sedan is wildly fun to drive on a challenging mountain pass. It's also comfortable enough for the daily commute, giving it broad appeal.

2023 BMW i7.
The BMW i7 is an all-electric full-sized sedan designed to rival the Lucid Air, Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan, Porsche Taycan, and Tesla Model S. Its pricing is similar, but it offers excellent advanced technology, including BMW's Level 2 autonomous driving system (called Highway Assistant), which allows semi-autonomous operation on pre-mapped highways at speeds of up to 85 mph. The i7 is part of BMW's 7 Series lineup (reviewed separately). You can still get a variety of gasoline-powered versions of the 7 Series, but the i7 is the German automaker's first all-electric sedan.
Positives.
Luxury accommodations for all passengers in a true EV package. Available suite of highly advanced driver-assist systems. Distinctive options include a backseat viewing screen that drops down from the headliner.
Considerations.
Its 318 (BMW-estimated) miles of range is a bit below competitors. Slightly slower than rivals' 0-60-mph times.
Mid-size, also known as intermediate, is a vehicle size class which originated in the United States and is used for cars larger than compact cars and smaller than full-size cars. "Large family car" is a UK term and a part of the D-segment in the European car classification. Mid-size cars are manufactured in a variety of body styles, including sedans, coupes, station wagons, hatchbacks, and convertibles. Compact executive cars can also fall under the mid-size category.
