These are the best midsize luxury sedans you can buy (2023)

The Genesis G80It wasn't quite as boastful of its success as its smaller successor, the G70; this sports sedan took it homeour award for Car of the Year 2019. The mid-size G80 might not be as flashy, but it's attractive, relaxing, and packs great tech features. But that's only the first half of a true luxury car experience. The G80 doesn't stand out on the trail. Its balance of steering and handling isn't as polished as the competition, it's not as quick as its rivals, and the drivetrain needs some smoothing. Perhaps an update will fix these minor issues, but for now, the G80 is at the bottom of our list, despite its exceptional design and reasonable price. [Read more about the Genesis G80]

IsJaguar XFIt's love for a luxury sedan, even now that it's lost its supercharged V-6. Jaguar offers sleek style with poise and swagger, and for 2021 the English brand has addressed our tech concerns with an all-new infotainment system. The Jaguar's middle child also handles very well, with controlled handling and a smooth ride. However, cooperation from the eight-speed automatic can be a bit slow, and the XF's all-season tires sacrifice top-end performance.

IsVolvo S90The sedan is a balanced option, offering a smooth (if sometimes lackluster) ride alongside powerful, efficient engines. The plug-in hybrid variant T8 is particularly powerful with 400 hp and the S90 offers a masterclass in Scandinavian design inside and out; It might just be the best mid-size luxury sedan to look at. Open the doors and you'll find a pleasant and comfortable interior with a portrait infotainment touchscreen, a standard digital instrument cluster and attractive wood inlays. For 2021, the S90 gets a new grille with internal louvers, a new trunk lid with a more differentiated lip spoiler and some redesigned taillights. Attractive, easy to drive and easy to sit in, the S90 is hard to miss. [More information about the Volvo S90]

IsLexus ESIt earns its place among the best mid-size luxury sedans for 2021 by being a comfortable place to clock the miles and pampering occupants with plush seats and a roomy rear. But this comfort comes at the expense of sportiness. While the available F-Sport trim adds a small dose of sportiness and offers slightly better acceleration and body control, with the ES philosophy a stiffer ride feels a little too intrusive. There are strong arguments in favor of the hybrid model, boasting excellent efficiency and an overall comfortable and quiet driving experience in all conditions.The ES lineup is getting a small update for 2022, with a new touchscreen and subtly massaged styling, just a year after the sedan's introductiona new all-wheel drive option.
