As drivers flock to SUVs and crossovers, it’s as if the ubiquitous four-door sedan—poof!—has suddenly disappeared. Yet some steadfast sedans remain, including two absolutely fabulous rides below. JAGUAR XF$47,000Mpg: 23 city/32 highway0 to 60 mph: 6.5 seconds Known for its super-luxe sedans, coupes and convertibles, even Jaguar has jumped on the sport-ute bandwagon.
But though there are various Jag crossovers these days, at least one swanky sedan is still in the fleet: the XF mid-sizer. With streamlined looks—including a miles-long hood and swaybacked rear—this fetching chariot doesn’t disappoint.
Handling is more lithe than lively, with supple suspension and snug braking. While neither of the two available four-cylinder turbo engines are Formula 1 material, the XF is plenty powerful for everyday driving.
And the inviting interior is both refined and spacious, with cushy seats and lots of breathing room for backseat passengers.
