The sedan did not die. It got squeezed into two ends of the market: genuinely cheap transport and genuine luxury, with the middle handed over to crossovers. Both surviving ends are covered here.
Quick answer: The 2026 Honda Accord lands under 30,000 dollars with more standard equipment than the outgoing car. At the other end, the 2027 BMW i7 starts at 107,750 dollars with up to 350 miles of range and Neue Klasse styling.

Common questions
Are sedans still worth buying over crossovers?
For fuel economy, handling and price, usually yes. Crossovers win on seating height and cargo flexibility. If you rarely carry bulky loads, the sedan version of the same platform is almost always cheaper to buy and run.
Who makes Genesis cars?
Genesis is Hyundai’s luxury division, launched as a standalone brand in 2015 and engineered separately from mainstream Hyundai models.
What replaced the Audi TT?
Audi CEO Gernot Doellner confirmed the Concept C enters production in 2027 as the TT’s spiritual successor.
