10 Upcoming 4-Door Sports Cars for Those Who Miss the Glory Days of Sedans

I’m deeply convinced that no matter how badly things are going for the sales numbers of family sedans, this body style will remain relevant, as long as the performance versions are as good as the models that we are about to present to you. The 2021 model year brings us an entirely refreshed lineup of sports sedans that are destined to show record braking results on the drag strips, tracks and highways around the globe. As usual, we have already counted all of the horses and will give you estimated or confirmed prices for the newcomers.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye media.fcanorthamerica.com/mediacenter.do?method=viewChannel&cid=4beeec29140

Since the Challenger coupe is already manufactured in the SRT Hellcat Redeye version, its platform sibling Charger was destined to receive such a mod as well, and now it is the fastest and the most powerful sedan in the world.

The stunning Type S from 2019 has definitely left Acura fans craving for more, so the 2nd generation TLX arrives based on this concept vehicle. The sports sedan has a stretched wheelbase, a lowered roofline and a 2.2-inch wider body with wider front and rear tracks.

BMW M5 and BMW M5 Competition: press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0309233EN/the-new-bmw-m5-and-bmw-m5-competition

Being one of the first M-cars in BMW’s arsenal, the performance version of the 5-series sedan is currently in its 6th generation, and without a doubt, it is the faster and the most powerful version of itself. Staring from 2021, the M5 also boasts a restyled exterior and interior.

The original GTA was manufactured by Alfa Romeo between 1965 and 1971, and now, the moniker is returning to the brand’s lineup if the form of the 540-hp 2021 Giulia GTA limited edition.

Lexus IS: pressroom.lexus.com/2021-lexus-is-agility-and-athleticism-expand-pure-driving-performance/

One of the most anticipated refreshes from the Japanese brand this year is the fourth-gen update of the IS sport sedan. Technically, this Lexus carries over on the previous chassis but with significant modifications.

Mercedes-AMG E63 S media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko.xhtml?oid=46612045&relId=1001&resultInfoTypeId=172

The E-Class is a cornerstone of the Mercedes passenger car lineup, so the company never lets a year go by without tweaking the model at least a little bit. In 2021, the entire E-Class is getting a mid-life facelift, and the revised AMG E 63 S sedan can honestly be called the cherry of the range.

Audi RS5 Sportback: audi-mediacenter.com/en/presskits/the-audi-rs-5-coupe-and-the-audi-rs-5-sportback-12747

The current generation RS5 Sportback went on sale just 2 years ago, so the fact that it is being facelifted right now, alongside the entire A5 range did come as a surprise for us. The Sportback acquires sharper design, new interior operating concept, and keeps the top-performing 2.9L V6 mill from the previous years.

Lucid Air: lucidmotors.com/

Slated for a global reveal in September 2020, the Lucid Air premium sedan is shaping up to become an exact match of the previously seen concept, so expect to welcome yet another worthy EV with 400 miles range, 1000 horsepower dual motor all-wheel drive powertrain, 2.5 seconds 0-60 sprint and 200 mph top speed.

Škoda Octavia RS iV: skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-releases/skoda-octavia-rs-iv-sustainable-yet-sporty/

The performance-tweaked version of the fourth-generation Skoda Octavia becomes sportier and gets sleeker exterior accents, but the biggest news, of course, is that the RS iV hits the hybrid segment.

Volkswagen Arteon R: volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/one-becomes-two-world-premiere-of-the-new-arteon-and-arteon-shooting-brake-6153

Besides embracing the newly found duality in the form of the classic fastback and an all-new shooting brake version, the Arteon is receiving its hottest modification yet, the Arteon R.
