sport sedan

Quick family vehicle

A sport sedan is a four-door car that combines the practicality of a sedan with performance-oriented features—a more powerful engine, tighter suspension, and sharper handling than standard models.

The category emerged as automakers recognized buyers who wanted spirited driving without sacrificing rear doors or trunk space: The BMW 3 Series defined the sport sedan for decades.

Sport sedans typically emphasize driving engagement over pure comfort.
