Used Saloon Cars for Sale

Saloon Cars

The saloon, one of the most traditional designs of car (sometimes referred to as a sedan), has undergone a facelift in recent years and now presents an attractive used car option. Saloons are "three-box" vehicles in which the engine, passengers and boot all sit in separate compartments. This body style offers better sound insulation, ride quality, driving dynamics and an enclosed boot/storage area.

Saloon cars sit lower than other body styles and generally offer longer wheelbase – this makes them stable at high speeds with safer driving dynamics. But due to this, saloon cars sacrifice some ground clearance. But as a car that can seat five comfortably, and carry enough luggage, it’s hard to beat a traditional saloon. SUVs are the rage now with saloons disappearing from our roads, but there is still something about this body style that we love!

Saloon buying guide

While not as flexible as a hatchback or as spacious as an estate or SUV, there are still plenty of options amongst our saloon cars for sale. Models that come with a low, deep entrance to the boot and rear seating that can fold are useful points.

Fuel type could be an important consideration too. With recent rules changing the amount of tax due on diesel-powered vehicles, what used to be regarded as an economical option may now be a drain on your finances. For example, to be ULEZ-compliant, your petrol sedan needs to meet Euro 4 emission standards while a diesel needs to be at least Euro 6. Hybrid and electric saloons are also making a wave in the market, with many used electric and hybrid sedans popping up on the market now.

Generally, when buying a saloon car, it is also worthwhile to check its underside for any damage from speed breakers. Since saloons come with reduced ground clearance, they might sustain some underbody damage if driven without care.
