2024 Kia K5.
The Kia K5 debuted in 2021 as a replacement for the Optima, a midsize sedan with sharp styling and good overall value. The K5 had big shoes to fill, but it did so with very strong results.
2024 Subaru Legacy.
The 2024 Subaru Legacy is a family-friendly midsize sedan. Available in five trim levels with a choice of two engines and ample standard features, there's an appropriate version for a wide variety of buyers.
2024 Honda Accord.
After five decades and 11 generations of models, the Honda Accord remains the best-selling car in the U.S.
2024 Nissan Altima.
The 2024 Nissan Altima fits the bill of an easy-to-use daily commuter. It’s affordable for a midsize sedan, packed with standard safety features, and relatively practical with good space for passengers and cargo.
2024 Hyundai Sonata.
Nothing much changes under the skin or hood, although Hyundai has dropped the 1.6-liter turbo engine. A standard four-cylinder packs adequate, if not adrenalized, power.
2024 Toyota Camry.
Regardless of trim level, all Camry models deliver a smooth, comfortable ride and a quiet cabin. Passenger room is generous in the front and rear, with excellent visibility in every direction. The interior design mixes classic analog gauges with a large touchscreen display that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on even the base trim level. Higher trim levels offer a heated steering wheel, leather-trimmed seats, and high-end audio systems. Safety isn't optional, as every Camry comes with a wide array of high-tech features, including automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alert, and adaptive radar cruise control. Rival midsize sedans include the Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata. The Altima doesn't provide the same level of options, and its base engine is less powerful than the Camry's standard 2.5-liter powerplant. The Accord has less power from its base engine, but delivers better fuel economy, has a larger trunk, and has an available hybrid version. The Sonata lineup includes both gas and hybrid engines with pricing comparable to the Camry across the range. The 2024 Toyota Camry is the epitome of the sensible sedan. It offers plenty of room for five, excellent safety features, efficient engines, and all of the features drivers expect in a modern family sedan. Available in 13 different trim levels, the Camry can be configured as a basic commuter car, a sharp-handling sport sedan, or a near-luxury cruiser. The base engine is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder that delivers 203 horsepower to the front wheels through an eight-speed transmission. For a little extra boost, the optional V6 offers a healthy 301 hp.
2024 Chevrolet Malibu.
It may be an older design compared to its rivals, but the Chevy Malibu still offers a roomy cabin and comfortable ride, making it an ideal choice among traditional family sedans. The last of the gas-powered sedans offered by Chevrolet, Malibu has been part of the Chevy lineup since the mid-1960s. The Malibu was refreshed in 2019, and the styling has held up well. With a starting price of around $26,000, the Malibu has a long list of standard features, a spacious cabin, and a sizable trunk, making it an ideal family sedan.The Malibu's cabin isn't fancy, but it is comfortable, with supportive front seats and reasonable rear-seat legroom. The infotainment system's intuitive design is easy to read, and the 8-inch display screen integrates nicely into the dashboard. Popular features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on all trim levels, connecting to the system wirelessly. All Malibu trims also come with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of advanced driver-assist features.A turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is the only powertrain option, and while it feels adequate for most situations, its output lags behind that of competitors, including the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5. The engine is reasonably fuel-efficient, but the Malibu no longer has a hybrid option, a strike against the Chevy when compared to the competition.
