2026 V8 sedans ranked by U.S. starting price
Prices are manufacturer-listed starting prices or MSRPs for 2026 model-year vehicles, sorted from lowest to highest. They are not necessarily comparable to a configured or as-shown price. Options, taxes, title, registration, dealer fees, incentives and actual transaction prices can change what a buyer pays.

What the price ranking does—and does not—compare
Starting price versus a configured vehicle
Cadillac lists the CT5-V Blackwing at a $98,900 starting price and separately shows an as-shown figure of $131,605. The latter is a configured example, not the base starting figure used to rank it. BMW identifies the M5’s $123,300 figure as a starting MSRP and cautions that actual dealer price may differ. Mercedes-Benz’s cited figures are MSRPs in its 2026 model-year pricing overview.

The BMW M5 belongs on a V8 list even though its 4.4-liter V8 is part of an M Hybrid powertrain. “V8 sedan” does not necessarily mean the engine works alone; the ranking is based on the qualifying V8 identity, not on whether a vehicle is electrified.

Why the 2026 Dodge Charger is not included
Dodge identifies a four-door 2026 Charger, but its official 2026 gasoline-model information and FAQ describe SIXPACK engines, not qualifying V8 versions. Earlier Charger generations offered V8s, but that does not establish a V8 model for the 2026 lineup.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.How to read “every” in this list
This is a U.S.-market ranking of the entries supported by the cited manufacturers’ 2026 sources, not a confirmed census of every V8 sedan worldwide. It counts vehicles identified as sedans or S-Class sedan variants in those sources. It does not resolve whether fastbacks marketed as four-door coupes, large luxury saloons sold outside the U.S., or vehicles with country-specific availability should also count. The figures establish manufacturer-listed pricing, not dealer inventory or a guaranteed purchase price.
