3 Of The Best European Sedans of 2023

3 Of The Best European Sedans of 2023 | Portland Automotive

In a world where the roar of sports cars and the allure of SUVs often steal the spotlight, there lies a quiet but undeniable charm in the European sedan. These vehicles are not just about getting from point A to B - they're a testament to luxury, performance, and a heritage that has been meticulously crafted over decades. 

Today, we are taking you on a journey through the streets of Europe to discover three sedans that stand out not just for their badges, but for the stories they tell and the experiences they offer.

1. BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series has long been synonymous with executive travel, blending performance with luxury in a way that few can match. The latest model, the G30, continues this storied tradition. Under the hood, the 540i xDrive boasts a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-6 engine that delivers an impressive 335 horsepower. This powerplant is mated to an 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission, ensuring smooth shifts and an engaging drive.

But power is nothing without control. The 540i xDrive features an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that provides optimum traction and agility in every driving situation. 

Inside, you'll find a cabin adorned with high-quality materials, cutting-edge technology like the iDrive 7.0 system, and creature comforts that make even the longest journeys feel like leisurely strolls.

2. Mercedes-Benz E-Class

If ever there was a sedan that epitomized sophistication, it's the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The E-Class is not just a car; it's a sanctuary on wheels. The E 450 4MATIC Sedan is particularly noteworthy, with its 3.0-liter inline-6 turbo engine with EQ Boost producing a healthy 362 horsepower. 

But what sets this sedan apart is its attention to detail: from the ARTICO leather upholstery to the ambient lighting that can be customized to suit your mood, every aspect of the E-Class has been designed with passenger comfort in mind. And let's not forget about safety – with features like Active Brake Assist and PRE-SAFE® Sound, Mercedes-Benz continues to lead in automotive safety innovations.

3. Audi A6

The Audi A6 is where cutting-edge technology meets quintessential German engineering. The A6 55 TFSI quattro trim level comes equipped with a robust 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 engine that produces a solid 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Pair this with Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system, and you have a sedan that performs as beautifully as it looks.

However, it's inside where the A6 really shines – MMI Navigation with MMI, a touch response system, offers drivers an intuitive interface for all their infotainment needs, while Audi's Virtual Cockpit turns your dashboard into a digital command center.


These three European sedans, and in general all vehicles, need their required maintenance to continue shining at their brightest! That's why Portland Automotive is more than happy to take care of all your maintenance and repair needs - just give us a call.
