What to Expect From Chevrolet, Nissan, and More

The redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Malibu and 2016 Kia Optima coming to the 2015 New York auto show are going to have some reinvigorated competition when they go on sale by the end of 2015. 

The 2016 model year could be huge for the still-hot midsize-sedan market, providing consumers a number of new or refreshed options -- or, alternatively, with some great deals on outgoing 2015s.

From Volkswagen and Chevrolet to Nissan and Mazda, updates are coming to the segment, and you can count on Motor Trend to bring you the best in instrumented tests and comparisons, such as this six-car battle from last year. 

So join us as we take a tour through what the midsize-sedan segment holds for the 2016 and 2017 model years, from the lightly updated to the completely redesigned.

On the following pages, cars are listed in order of sales from the first two months of 2015.
