I want aware that the car has to be brand new as OP never stated that.

Call me a Heather but if the EV6 isn’t sedan-like enough, the Tesla 3 isn’t either.

A Lucid Air plays in a whole different league as It probably beats the Tesla S. However there’s a risk the company itself might be discontinued.

There’s a bunch of Chinese brands that deliver - they might not be available in the US or are tariffed out of budget range.

    No, but I'm pointing out that cars that have been discontinued will not increase in number, so they'll be harder to find on the used market over time.

    Like the parent comment, I've rented a Hyundai Ioniq 5 a few times, and liked the way it drove. But it is so ugly I'd never buy it for myself. The EV6 is nice, and I agree it's quite close to a sedan.

    The Polestar 2 is great. Drives like a sedan. Undisputably a sedan. But its manufacturer is in a weird regulatory limbo, there weren't a lot of 2s sold, and I personally find the clicking of the turn signal annoying. Also a bit expensive for its specs, even on the used market.

    I think we'll eventually see Kia/Hyundai/Genesis, Toyota/Lexus, and maybe Volkswagen and BMW compete in this sedan space with new cars. But for now, most car manufacturers selling in the US seem to be focused on SUVs and crossovers.
