Sedans are experiencing a resurgence in sales this year, and there are plenty of great models to choose from. Part of the reason for their renewed popularity is that they're often cheaper to buy and run than similarly sized SUVs, and ones fitted with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) can tackle slippery roads and dirt trails just as competently as an SUV.There are many AWD sedans out there, and picking between them can be daunting, so we did the digging for you and picked five of the best ones across some of the most popular segments for 2026. Let us know what your favorite AWD sedan is in the comments below.Compact Budget Sedan: Toyota Corolla HybridToyotaThese affordable vehicles offer a smaller footprint that are ideal for tight city streets, but most are FWD. The Toyota Corolla Hybrid may not be the most refined, or have the best interior in its category, but it is reliable, frugal and now that the Subaru Legacy has been discontinued, it's the most affordable AWD sedan on sale today.Priced at $27,870 including the delivery, processing and handling fee, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE AWD undercuts every other AWD sedan. With just 138-hp on offer it's not going to blow your socks off, but the 50 mpg overall fuel economy might.Midsize Family Sedan: Toyota CamryFor those who need a bit more space from their daily driver sedan, the Toyota Camry is one of the best choices out there. The availability of four-wheel traction makes it even more desirable, and Toyota's clever Electronic On-Demand AWD system powers the rear wheels with an independent electric motor only when a loss of traction or heavy acceleration is detected.Just like in the Corolla Hybrid, it eliminates the need for a heavy physical driveshaft and improves fuel economy. The Camry is by far the most popular sedan on sale today, and while Toyota doesn't split its sales figures between the FWD and AWD variants, with the AWD option adding just $1,525 to the base price we wouldn't be surprised if these models account for a hefty portion of the total sales figures.Compact Sports Sedan: BMW M3BMWSports sedans are an extremely popular class because they offer a great mix of daily-driver usability as well as enough dynamic ability for fun weekend drives or track days.Choosing one model that stands out above the rest is tough, but thanks to its all-round abilities, the BMW M3 takes the cake. It offers a level of poise and ability on track that few rivals can match, while still being perfectly capable of crawling along in the traffic during the week.Its AWD system is rear-biased and has a RWD mode that helps it avoid that nose-heavy understeer that some other rivals exhibit under enthusiastic driving. Just about the only drawback of picking an AWD M3 is that it is only available with the dual-clutch automatic transmission, the manual model is reserved for the base RWD trim.Large Luxury Sedan: Mercedes-Benz S-ClassMercedes-BenzThere have been many pretenders to the throne, and some have come pretty close to claiming the crown of the best large luxury sedan, but Mercedes-Benz has been more consistent than most when it comes to producing the ultimate in luxury sedans,The S-Class range is responsible for more automotive firsts than almost any other vehicle in history, and the latest generation offers a superb combination of power, luxury, and AWD grip that is very hard to match. An interesting available feature is the E-Active Body control system that scans the road ahead to allow the suspension to counteract any upcoming bumps.Large Electric Luxury Sedan: Lucid AirLucidThere are several superb AWD electric sedans out there. The now discontinued Tesla Model S, the updated Porsche Taycan, and the high-tech BMW i7 all offer some class-leading features, but the one that offers the best range, luxury, and performance is the Lucid Air.The Air Touring and higher trims all come standard with AWD, and depending on the model you pick, you can get up to 512 miles of range and luxury options like the glass canopy roof and 20-way power massaging and ventilated front seats. If you aren't short of cash, the 1,234-hp Lucid Air Sapphire is capable of breaking the national speed limit before you have turned out of your driveway.
