Sports sedans offer serious performance with four-door car convenience. However, it is not just big BMWs and Audis; there are plenty of performance sedans for you to peruse. In fact, you can snag anything from an understated Kia Stinger to a fire-breathing 2022 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack. Here’s the Scat Pack and some of its fellow U.S. News picks for the best sports sedans of 2022. 

  • Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack
  • Genesis G70
  • Alfa Romeo Giulia
  • Cadillac CT4-V
  • Kia Stinger

How much horsepower does a 2022 Charger R/T Scat Pack have?

The 2022 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. All that grunt is courtesy of a naturally-aspirated 6.4L V8 engine, yours for a starting price of $48,980. That makes it the most powerful sedan on this list, if also the least efficient. According to TrueCar, the Charger R/T Scat Pack manages a mere 15 mpg in the city and 24 mpg at highway speeds.

Is a 2022 Genesis G70 worth buying?

If you want a Kia Stinger with upper echelon luxury, the G70 might be your ticket. U.S. News reports that the shared platform with the Stinger makes an agile framework for an affordable luxury sedan. Also, the G70 offers usable fuel economy or turbocharged V6 power with two engine options. However, you’ll need to wrestle with the $45,745 starting price to snag the 365-horsepower G70 3.3T. 

Is the Alfa Romeo Giulia one of the best sedans for 2022?

The Alfa Romeo Giulia offers a handsome exterior and a trendy interior in a time of questionably styled sedans. With optional all-wheel drive and a standard 280-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Giulia boasts more than just good looks. Also, for the 2023 model year, Alfa Romeo is offering the Estrema to split the ferocious 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio and the Veloce trims.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a solid competitor for the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack and the other best sports sedans on the market.

Is the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V as fast as a Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack?

Cadillac’s new sedan starts at 325 horsepower, making it more powerful than the Charger SXT and GT. However, even with slightly less horsepower than the Scat Pack, Cadillac says the CT4-V Blackwing will blitz to sixty in just 3.8 seconds. That kind of acceleration makes the Blackwing quicker than a Scat Pack. However, with a starting price of $60,390, the Blackwing is much more expensive than the Charger R/T Scat Pack. 

Is the Kia Stinger one of the best sports sedans for 2022?

The Kia Stinger has offered unassuming performance in a practical sedan package since 2018, and the 2022 model year is no different. Kia’s flagship performance car brings the marque that motorists typically associate with dancing hamsters into a realm of sleeper sedan sportiness. Better yet, the 300-horsepower entry-level Stinger has a starting price of $37,735. However, if you want a four-door sedan that can keep up with a Ford Mustang GT, consider the $52,935 Stinger GT2. 

The Stinger is fast and composed; definitely a match for the other best sports sedans on the market.
