Sedan

From

For sheer, track‑tuned hot‑hatch excitement in a sedan suit, nothing tastes quite as sweet as the Hyundai i30 Sedan N. As sharply‑priced as it is styled, the Subaru WRX pocket‑rocket alternative has undergone a substantial facelift for 2024, gaining myriad chassis upgrades to make it even more of a hoot. That something that grew from the dull old Elantra can be so feisty and fun is quite amazing.

$33,990

The push towards plug‑in hybrids has taken another step with BYD adding just such a powertrain with its Sealion 5 line‑up. As well as the EV‑only range and equipment levels a lot of families are searching for, the BYD also arrives at a super‑sharp price‑point. But will that be enough to make it stand out in what is becoming a sea of mid‑sized plug‑in SUVs?
