Four-wheel-drive sedans are disappearing

Four-wheel-drive sedans are disappearing from the new car market. By the end of 2025, only two full-time 4WD sedans will remain available new: the Lexus LS and Subaru WRX S4. This decline is due to falling sedan demand and manufacturers prioritizing SUVs and minivans. The reduced availability of 4WD sedans is also attributed to the higher cost and complexity of 4WD systems, which offer fewer benefits in sedans compared to SUVs, leading to decreased consumer interest and manufacturer profitability.
