Sedans may no longer dominate America’s roads, but a handful of automakers are keeping the four-door alive with style, speed, and surprising value. From electric super-sedans to budget-friendly compacts, here are the standout models of 2025 so far.
Audi RS E-Tron GT Performance
Audi’s flagship electric sedan now delivers a staggering 912 horsepower. With Porsche-derived suspension tech and world-class ride quality, it blends supercar performance with everyday usability — at a $168,295 price.
Audi S3
Refreshed and retuned, the 2025 Audi S3 is no longer just a mid-tier option. With 328 horsepower, a torque-vectoring rear differential, and refined steering, it’s a driver’s sedan in disguise, starting at $49,995.
BMW M5
The plug-in hybrid BMW M5 pairs a 717-hp twin-turbo V8 with 25 miles of EV range. Heavy at over 5,300 pounds but blisteringly quick, it maintains its reputation as a luxurious super-sedan. Prices begin at $120,675.
Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
Beloved by enthusiasts, the CT5-V Blackwing continues with its 668-hp supercharged V8 and rear-wheel drive. A 2025 facelift adds tech and a new Precision Pack. Starting at $96,990, it remains one of the last true muscle sedans.
Hyundai Elantra N
For under $40,000, the Elantra N is a performance bargain. A 275-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, available manual gearbox, and playful driving dynamics keep it one of the most fun budget sedans on the market.
Kia EV4
Kia’s new EV4 aims squarely at the Tesla Model 3. Offering up to 330 miles of range, a roomy cabin, and a button-heavy, user-friendly interior, it’s a practical and stylish choice in the growing electric sedan segment.
Kia K4
Replacing the Forte, the new Kia K4 is bigger, bolder, and loaded with features. Available with up to 190 horsepower, a smart interior layout, and a price starting at $23,165, it’s a strong contender against the Civic and Corolla.
Sedans Still Have Life Left
SUVs may dominate sales, but these sedans prove the format isn’t dead. Whether you want speed, luxury, or value, 2025 still has a four-door that delivers.
