Despite the popularity of SUVs and pickup trucks, large sedans offer practicality and good value, providing comfortable rides for up to five passengers and better mileage than SUVs. With fewer models available, we tested the best large cars of 2024, with overviews on price, mileage, and safety features, to help you make an informed decision.

The Honda Accord is our top pick for its versatility and starting price of $27,895. This five-seater received high safety ratings and has the largest cargo capacity in its class at 16.7 cubic feet. Buyers can also consider a hybrid version for better gas mileage.

The Toyota Crown is a safe and reliable option, earning the Top Safety Pick+ title. For $40,350, it comes standard with a wide array of safety features such as automatic emergency braking and traffic-sign recognition. However, it received a lower rating for nighttime headlight illumination.

Honda Accord takes the award for best retained value with its unbeatable performance and price, earning a JD Power award for best mass market brand. With reliable technology and a spacious trunk, it’s no surprise that the Accord holds its value well.

The Kia K5 stands out with its low starting price of $25,590 and impressive warranty coverage, including a five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. It’s an affordable option that provides peace of mind for buyers.

Volvo’s certified pre-owned (CPO) program offers the Volvo S60 as a new car for the price of a used one, with a comprehensive 170-point certification that ensures quality. It also comes with a five-year unlimited mile warranty and complimentary roadside assistance, making it a good choice for those seeking added benefits.
