Along with hatchbacks, saloons are your middle-of-the-road cars.
Not too niche, not too specialised.
Which is why they remain a fantastic choice for you today.
Saloons cars (or 'sedans' as they're known in America) are generally quite flat and elongated, symmetrical, boxy (although more modern ones do bring in some curves), and come with a self-enclosed boot that's separate from the cabin.
Which is why you might see them sometimes described as 'three-box' cars, with the first box being the engine bay, the second the cabin, and the third the boot.
They pack in more boot space, passenger space and legroom than hatchbacks. But unlike, say, SUVs, they blend in more with the road. Just like hatchbacks.
The greater storage space doesn't come at the expense of practicality or fuel economy, so yes, they are still reasonable performers. Just don't expect a Lamborghini.
All in all, saloon cars are pretty solid all-rounders, and along with hatchbacks, they're probably the most common type of car seen on UK roads. A long-established, well-known style of vehicle known for doing a good job, but nothing fancy. A generalist rather than a specialist.
Not short on space, they work for families as well. Just as long as you're not the one from Cheaper by the Dozen, because seat numbers usually stop at the 4-5 mark!
The Audi A3, the BMW 5 Series and the Volkswagen ID.7 are some of the most popular saloon cars. Plus, there's a growing number of hybrid and electric saloons too if you fancy going a bit greener.

Pretty much. Saloon cars are similar to hatchbacks, but they're generally a bit longer and come with extra legroom and more rear passenger space. You'll also benefit from a larger boot.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but if we had to pick 3, it'd be wear and tear charges, the impact of credit checks and not being able to own the car at the end (which could also be an advantage, depending on how you look at it).
Only a certain percentage of saloon cars are prestige cars or performance cars, so they won't cost the Moon. Therefore, you'll find that a lot of saloon lease deals can be had for around £275 and £300 p/m. Of course, the cost of any given saloon car can vary depending on the specific make, model, and market conditions.
A saloon car is suitable for a family, even if they're not as spacious as estates and SUVs – which often make the best family cars. But if you want something that's more normal-looking, saloons could be the better choice.
