Sedans are often known for their luxury and high cost. However, 2071-2018 offers an impressive line up of luxury SUVs at competitive prices. By nature, a sedan is a passenger car engineered in a three-box configuration with two rows of seating, and adequate passenger space in the rear compartment for passengers and storage. The rear cargo compartment of most sedans offers additional storage.

Based on reports from  new- and used-vehicle owners in 2017, these sedans offer the best in luxury at affordable prices:

1.  Lincoln Continental

No, Matthew Mcconaughey doesn’t’ get all the credit for boosting this midsize luxury sedan among the younger, professional generations. The newer features are really cool, including hidden door handles, sleek styling and the choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and standard V-6 engine or two, twin-turbocharged V6 engines. Plus, the reliability depended upon by generations of Lincoln owners.

2. Buick Verano
While Buick isn’t typically cast in the “luxury” line up. This sedan has scraped the once compact Verano of years past for a sedan with sleek sporty leather trim (in choice of color), the option for a turbocharged engine, and an impressive 180-horsepower 4-cylinder engine.

3. BMW 3 Series

When it comes to popularity and affordability, the BMW 3 Series may offer the most versatility. This sedan can also be marketed by car sellers as a hatchback and station wagon. The BMW 3 series gets extra points for a nifty, new turbocharged 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engine, impeccable styling, and the iDrive infotainment system is installed and standard adaptive damping suspension.

4. Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
2017 brought fresh styling, new technologies, and a lower price tag to this most economically priced Mercedes-Benz model. The CLA-Class sedan could be called a coupe because of its sleek, sweeping roofline, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, classic AMG-tuning, with the buyer’s option of front-wheel or all-wheel drivability.

5. Toyota Lexus ES
As far as cost-effective luxury vehicles go, the Toyota Lexus ES offers a fair share of plush interior perks with all the techy bells and whistles (i.e., connected navigation app, driver-assistance and collision-avoidance system). In addition, the impressive V-6 engine with gas-electric drivetrain makes this sleek vehicle a decent beginner-level luxury sedan.
