The first impression isn't always a lasting impression for a sedan. When it's there next to an SUV, it looks smaller, lower and less imposing. The appeal is in its performance, the ease of parking and the reduced cost of operating from week to week. This is true of sedan cars in general: they're not about looking good, but they're about being easy to handle.
There are currently 87 sedans available nationwide from Cars24, from basic commuter sedans to family-centric sedans and an increasing number of electric sedans. When looking at the best used sedans for sale, the initial step is to match the car to the driving it is going to be put through, whether daily commuting, family needs or more into performance.

The sedan is designed primarily for the driver, who will be seated in it. Most people do the same when they search for a sedan; they begin with the model name rather than the use case. A car that will be used for 15,000 highway kilometres a year will require something different to a car that's used for short suburban trips five days a week. Narrowing down the listings by category before scrolling down by price does more to narrow down the field than does scrolling down by price alone.

With low running costs being the priority for daily driving, the Toyota Corolla and Kia Cerato are among the best hybrid compact cars available. Currently, the Cerato is available and the prices range from $14,290 to $24,990; the Corolla is offered in a variety of petrol and hybrid versions, and, if you are doing the kind of driving necessary in the city to justify the hybrid's fuel savings, the choice is one to consider. It is the models on which most buyers end up when they are looking for reliable and affordable transport, not a car with personality.
The Camry and Liberty have been paired together in the Family and Comfort Bracket. These models are available and range from $14,990 to $34,790.The Subaru Liberty comes with all-wheel drive. They are both more accommodating for longer commutes and family use than a Corolla or Cerato, and also offer more cabin space than a compact sedan, but not as much as an SUV.
A lesser portion of sedan buyers are buying with greater urgency behind the wheel. The Kia Stinger, which is priced at approximately $52,790, and the BMW 3 Series, across a broad range of prices, depending on year and trim, are in this price zone. While the Camry or Liberty may be more practical, these sedans will offer greater handling and performance as well as have a higher price floor as they age.
The electric sedans have gone from a novelty to a viable business proposition with the Tesla Model 3. Cars24's current listing count of electric sedan cars is 12 models, between $32,490 and $46,990. It can be charged at home, so the running costs are significantly less than a petrol option for those who can, but for anyone who can't, the initial purchase price is more than the commuter bracket. For those who seek to avoid the price premium of a completely electric vehicle, the Camry Hybrid or Corolla Hybrid is worth considering.
The history and condition of two identical 2-year-old and 2000-dollar sedans can be very different. The odometer reading is not the only thing that matters when it comes to a sedan that has more kilometres on the clock. Direct checks for tyre wear are beneficial for all four corners, as photos can not always show alignment or suspension problems that might be causing uneven wear. Two Model 3s with the same mileage can have significantly different real-world range, depending on their battery health; this is especially true for any electric sedan. No decision should be made without a complete inspection report or PPSR check, irrespective of the category of the sedan.

Sedans aren't as flexible as SUVs, but they certainly are less cramped than a hatchback. On gas mileage, sedans will likely be less green than an SUV. On driving position, however, many sedan buyers find it easier to use over extended distances than a hatchback. It is this combination that makes it the perfect category for commuters, families and performance-oriented buyers. Despite SUVs dominating overall sales volume, it's about matching the sedan to the driving, not the road.

Yes, it can be an everyday sedan. For buyers who can charge at home, running costs are lower than a petrol equivalent, though the upfront price sits above most commuter sedans. Current listing costs range from $32,490 to $46,990.
Yes, standard AWD is one of the Liberty’s main differentiators from other sedans in its size class, useful for buyers wanting extra traction without stepping up to an SUV.
You should check the service history, tyre wear across all four corners, and run a PPSR check. On electric sedans, check the battery health report rather than just relying on the odometer.
Yes, sedans generally cost less to service than SUVs of a similar age, largely due to smaller engines, lighter weight and less complex drivetrains in most variants. This is especially true for commuter sedans like the Corolla or Cerato, which use simpler mechanical platforms than a mid-size or large SUV. Family and performance sedans can narrow that gap slightly, but sedans as a category still tend to work out more affordable to maintain.
Yes, you can apply for a loan and check out payment plans without affecting your credit score. The pre-approved loans help set a realistic budget for shortlisting cars.
