Wikipedia defines the sedan as basically a passenger vehicle having two rows of just enough sized-seats and adequate passenger space in the compartment for adult passengers. The sedan has a separate trunk, for luggage at the rear.
There are several versions of the body style of sedans. These include four-door (which is the most common model), two-door (which are rare but more of them existed long time ago), and fastback models.
A sedan has a fixed roof that is full-height up to the rear window. The roof structure typically has a fixed "B" pillar.
Most modern vehicles adopt the body style of sedans. Sedans are largely patronized because it exudes class and is sometimes accompanied with sporty characteristics. Taking the G35 and BMW 3 Series as examples, they focus on sporty driving. Nonetheless, they do not have spacious interiors.
There are sedans which emphasizes comfort and calmness. An example of this is the Lexus ES350.
Other sedans, like the Acura TL with quality Acura camshaft, yield these three characteristics at the same time: sporty, comfortable, and calm.
Sedans within $30,000 to $40,000 price range have different blends of being sporty and classy. Sporty type sedans usually have small interiors; give firm ride and agility. Classy models, on the other hand, are quieter, have huge interior space, and give smooth ride.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan is sporty and agile. It is redesigned for 2008 which will arrive this summer. The Acura TSX also performs actively and is well finished but costs less.
Also redesigned for 2008 is the Cadillac CTS which is considered another great car.
The high-end V6 versions of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Passat perform excellent but have amenities which cost less.
The Buick Lucerne CXS V8, Lexus ES350, Nissan Maxima, Lincoln MKZ, Saab 9-5, and rear- and all-wheel-drive versions of the Infiniti G35 have amenities such as sunroofs, heated (and sometimes cooled) leather seats, and performance quality engines. All, except for the Lincoln MKZ, have stability control.
The redesigned rear-wheel-drive G35 includes a sunroof and a power-adjustable steering wheel as alternatives; and the all-wheel-drive G35x comes with a navigation system.
The ES is redesigned for this year that was based on Toyota Camry. The Nissan Maxima was also redesigned for 2007. The MKZ, on the other hand, came with a larger engine for 2007.
As the high tech era continues to progress, the sedans also continuously evolve, with each auto makers aim to manufacture quality vehicles that will give quality performance to its customers.
