11 Family Sedans That Deliver Sports-Car Speed in 2025

Family sedans aren’t just about comfort and fuel economy anymore 2025 proves they can be seriously fast too. These 11 models combine family-friendly practicality with the kind of acceleration and handling once reserved for sports cars. If you want room for everyone without giving up excitement behind the wheel, these sedans deliver both.

BMW M3

The M3 is still the default “I want a fast family sedan and I also like track days” answer. It’s pricey at around $73,000 to start, but you get a twin-turbo inline-six, 473 hp, and—bless—an available manual. The xDrive versions are stupid quick off the line, like low-3s to 60 if you’re brave. Interior’s very BMW: solid, techy, a bit serious. The grille? I mean… I’ve made peace with it. Drives like a scalpel but still comfy enough to do school runs without rattling sippy cups. Kinda feels like the grown-up hot rod.

Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing

Not gonna lie, every time I hear that supercharged V8 I forget how to act. About $90,000 new and worth every penny if you want chaos with car seats. 668 hp, manual transmission available (hallelujah again), and it pulls like a freight train. The seats hug you, the chassis talks to you, and then you remember it’s a Cadillac with magnetic ride that calms down for daily life. Gas mileage? Don’t ask. Smiles per gallon? Off the charts.

Mercedes-AMG E 63 S

Okay, so this is like the tuxedo that deadlifts. Around $112,000 when you find one, and that twin-turbo V8 just hits different. AWD grip, launch control, and the interior feels like a high-end lounge. It’s brutal when you want it, buttery when you don’t. I always think, “too fancy,” then I drive it and I’m like, “yeah okay, take my wallet.” If you want luxury first, lunacy second well, it’s actually both at once.

Audi RS7

Yes, it’s a sportback, but come on, it’s a family rocket. Around $117,000 and honestly looks like it costs more. 591 hp, Quattro traction, and it builds speed in that relentless German way no drama, just whoosh. The hatch makes Costco runs unreasonably fun. If you want something that feels special every single day without screaming about it, this is the stealth bomber.

Tesla Model 3 Performance

I know, I know sedan, not a “sports car” in the traditional sense, but this thing is silly fast. About $53,000 to $55,000 and you’re talking sub-3.5s to 60 with instant torque that makes passengers say words you can’t print. Interior’s minimal, range is decent, and the running costs are low. Steering’s a bit video-gamey, but in traffic and quick blasts it’s addictive. Family-friendly, wallet-friendly-ish, and shockingly quick.

BMW i5 M60

Electric twist on the family missile. Roughly $85,000 and it feels like it teleports more than accelerates. Dual-motor AWD, tons of torque, and a cabin that’s pure premium comfort. It’s quiet until it’s not well, it’s always quiet, but your neck knows. If you want luxury, tech, and EV shove without going full spaceship, this is the adult choice that still makes you giggle.

Porsche Taycan 4S

So yeah, not cheap figure around $100,000-plus but the Taycan 4S feels like someone taught physics new tricks. The way it straps itself to the road is… kind of intoxicating. It’s a proper family four-door if your family is cool with “sporty firm.” Charging network planning matters, but as a driver’s car that happens to have doors for everyone? Chef’s kiss. Also the driving position is perfect. Porsche just gets it.

Dodge Charger (Last Call Scat Pack/Hellcat, if you find one)

Okay, the big American sledgehammer. Prices vary a ton call it $55,000 for Scat Pack-ish to way more for Hellcat leftovers but nothing hauls kids and rear tires like this. It’s not delicate; it’s a vibe. Big space, big noise, big speed. It’s the sedan that makes neighbors text “everything okay?” after cold starts. Will it corner like the Germans? No. Will it make you laugh every day? Absolutely.

Acura TLX Type S

This one’s the smart buy. Around $53,000, AWD, 355 hp, and it’s that sweet spot between quick and livable. The seats are great, the chassis feels planted without being punishing, and the tech doesn’t make you scream. It’s not the absolute fastest here, but in rain and snow it’s confidence on four wheels. Also, it’s an Acura, so you can sleep at night about reliability.

Kia Stinger GT (if you can snag a 2025 run)

Yeah, the Stinger’s bowing out in places, but if you find a late one around $53,000 with the twin-turbo V6, it’s a total sleeper. Big hatch trunk, roomy back seat, and it’ll hustle hard. Not as polished as the Europeans, but the value is ridiculous. It’s that friend who shows up in sneakers, then outruns everyone.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited AWD

Curveball, I know, but the AWD version in the mid-$50,000s is honestly quick and super smooth. Instant torque, aero-slick body, and a cabin that’s airy and modern. More “future glide” than “angry growl,” but speed is speed—and this has it. If your life is commute-heavy and you want calm plus punch, it’s an underrated pick.
