After years of not being able to do audiobooks, I now have over an hour commute and find driving is the only time I can listen to audiobooks.
I started with some re-reads: Daisy Jones & The Six, A Man Called Ove, and The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society.
I found that full cast audiobooks with different voice actors keep my attention much better. I struggled with the first half of Ove, a book I love, but the other 2 books I was hooked immediately given all the voice actors.
So – suggest me your favorite full cast (or even just 2 actors!) audiobooks. I’m open to any genre, except for non-fiction/memoirs/biographies.

Coraline by Neil Gaiman has a great cast in the audiobook version! 🙂
I like the full cast production of *His Dark Materials* by Philip Pullman. The series is great, I highly recommend it if you don’t know it yet.
Edit to add: I am sure searching for “full cast” on r/audiobooks will lead you to more recommendations, people frequently ask similar questions over there.
For sci-fi, Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Ilona Andrews Innkeeper Chronicles –A magic Inn, space werewolves and vampires, a lot of really unique aliens, mystery, romance, action, a fun and humorous series
World War Z. Each chapter is a different POV character with a different narrator.
You should try graphic audio if you like fantasy – they do full cast full productions with sound effects , it’s amazing.
I’d recommend starting with the Mistborn series
Also – The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo was great as an audiobook
Anything by Karin Slaughter.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry and Britt Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
