10 Sedans Perfect for Highway Cruisers

“Explore the 10 highest-rated SUVs of 2025 that combine elite safety technology, impressive crash-test scores, and dependable protection for every kind of road and family.”

Honda Accord

Okay, starting with a classic, you know? The Honda Accord. I mean, it’s just… it’s so relentlessly good. It’s not trying to be flashy, it’s just a perfectly sorted car. The ride is so smooth and quiet, and the seats are like, uhm, they’re just great for long stretches. And the fuel economy? Stupid good. You’ll be passing gas stations with a smug little grin. For, I dunno, around $32,000 or so, it’s just a brilliant, sensible choice. It’s the car you recommend when someone says “I just need a good car.” Boring? Maybe. Brilliant? Absolutely.

Toyota Camry

Right, so obviously, you can’t talk Accord without the Camry. It’s the other side of the same, incredibly reliable coin. But the newer ones, honestly, they’ve gotten… kinda stylish? And the ride is so isolated, it’s like you’re in your own little pod, just gliding over imperfections. The V6 option, if you can find it, has some proper grunt for merging. Uhm, what’s the price… probably starts around $28,000 but a nice one is more like $35k. It’s the automotive equivalent of a really comfortable pair of shoes. You just know it’s not gonna let you down.

Hyundai Sonata

Now, don’t sleep on Hyundai, seriously. The Sonata is a legit contender. I mean, look at it! It’s got all these wild lines and that light bar… it’s a spaceship. And inside, so much tech for the money. Heated and cooled seats, a big screen, all the safety stuff. The ride is plush, too. For highway cruising, it’s a fantastic value. You’re probably looking at, like, $30,000 for a really well-equipped one. It makes you wonder why you’d pay more for a German car sometimes. Okay, maybe not sometimes, but you know what I mean.

Kia K5

Speaking of value, the Kia K5. It’s basically the Sonata’s cooler, slightly more aggressive cousin. The GT-Line trim looks fantastic, like a proper sports sedan, but it’s still so comfortable. The interior is nice, uhm, the seats are supportive, and it’s just so easy to drive for hours. And the price? Honestly, it’s a steal. You can get into a great one for under $32,000. It’s one of those cars that just feels more expensive than it is. Makes you feel smart for buying it.

Mazda 6

Oh, the Mazda 6. I have a soft spot for this one. It’s… it’s just so elegant. It doesn’t shout, it just whispers class. The interior feels like it’s from a car costing twenty grand more—all that soft leather and simple, beautiful design. The ride is firm but super composed, it feels really planted on the highway, you know? Not floaty, just… solid. It’s a driver’s cruiser. A shame they stopped making it, but if you can find a new old stock one or a low-mileage used example, maybe around $32,000? It’s a gem.

Subaru Legacy

Okay, so if your highway cruising involves, like, a sudden blizzard or a dirt road to a cabin, the Subaru Legacy is your guy. That standard all-wheel drive is just a confidence booster, even on dry pavement. The ride is super soft and the seats are like big armchairs. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world, I’ll be honest, but it’s so capable and comfortable. For about $31,000, you get this incredibly competent, safe, and comfy machine. It’s the practical friend who always has a blanket and a first-aid kit in their trunk.

Nissan Altima

The Altima, uhm… you know, it often gets overlooked. But the one with the VC-Turbo engine? That thing is surprisingly quick. And the seats—Nissan calls them “Zero Gravity”—are honestly some of the best in the business. You just melt into them. The ride is nice and cushy too. For a highway mile-muncher, it’s a really strong pick. I think a well-spec’d one is around $33,000. It’s a dark horse, for sure.

Volkswagen Arteon

Now, this is my wildcard. The Volkswagen Arteon. It’s a hatchback! But it looks like a sleek, fastback sedan. It’s so… European. And it feels it on the road. The ride is sophisticated, the cabin is dead quiet, and it’s just dripping with style. It’s not cheap, though—you’re looking at like, $45,000—but for that you get something genuinely special and unique. It’s for someone who finds the Camry a little too… obvious.

Genesis G80

Okay, stepping into luxury territory. The Genesis G80. Oh my god. This car is… it’s just sublime. The ride is like magic, it just irons out the road. It’s so quiet, the interior is a work of art, and it makes you feel like a million bucks. For a highway cruiser, it’s almost perfect. And the crazy thing is, it’s still thousands less than a comparable German sedan. A really nice one will be around $55,000. It’s a statement. A statement that says, “I have excellent taste and I’m not trying to impress you with a badge.” Love it.

BMW 5-Series

And finally, the benchmark. The BMW 5-Series. I mean, you can’t have this list without it. It just does everything so well. The balance between sporty handling and cloud-like comfort is… chef’s kiss. You point it down a highway and it just devours distance. It’s an event to drive it, even when you’re just going in a straight line. But yeah, you pay for it. A new one starts around $55,000 and goes up, up, up from there. But, uhm, if you want the classic, ultimate driving machine experience for a long trip, this is still it for me.
