Best SUVs for Families

Whether you’re expanding your brood or entering parenthood for the first time, a family car becomes a necessity. When you think “family car” some might picture the worst minivan on the market. Let’s face it, a family car was once defined by station wagons or oddly shaped vans. Thankfully, parents now have a number of stylish, affordable, and safe vehicles to choose from that have finally broken the stigma behind what makes a family vehicle.  

We’ve built our case for why your family needs an SUV, so now we’ll unveil the best SUVs for families to buy or lease this year. Take a look at our top suggestions below! 

Kia Telluride

When Kelley Blue Book puts a vehicle on their Best Buy list, you know it’s worth checking out. The Telluride made waves when it broke into the automotive market in 2019. Mirroring the physique of a LandRover without the high-end price, drivers were immediately drawn to its charisma and performance capabilities. Families love it, and with a MSRP of $31,990, it’s no denying that Kia delivered on the #BestThreeRowSUV at a fair market price.

Chrysler Pacifica 

It wouldn’t be a true family car post if we didn’t reserve at least one spot for the best minivan on the market. Whether you hate the idea of them or love the convenience, the Chrysler Pacifica is one of the most beloved minivans available. With its smooth ride and spacious interiors, just about every driver can agree that minivan moms are cool (at least if they drive a Pacifica).

Toyota RAV4

The RAV4 is the crossover of your dreams. There’s a reason it’s named the best selling SUV in the U.S. One, because whether you’re looking for adventure or settling on the perfect family car, it fits your life at any stage. Secondly, it comes equipped with enough space for your next camping adventure and the unparalleled safety to give all parents extra peace of mind.

Ford Expedition

If your family is the size of a soccer team, then the Ford Expedition is the perfect fit. With a turbocharged V6 engine, 8 seat capacity, and couch-like comfort, all the moms and dads out there can happily transport their brood without sacrificing safety. You even have enough room to bring a few friends along. With the Expedition, each family member can enjoy their own space which is probably why this large SUV remains a popular choice. 

Top factors to consider when choosing a family car

A family car is no ordinary purchase. You have to take into account all family members, your lifestyle, and whether new additions will be joining in the near future. With the right research, you will find the perfect fit for your family. But first, it is important to define certain expectations for your new ride. Take a look at the most common factors to consider when choosing a family car: 

Safety

Most drivers are looking for a reliable car, but when small children are involved, safety becomes the top priority. With the advanced tech and safety features coming standard in most family cars, parents can breathe a sigh of relief that their family will have outstanding safety on the road. With features like lane assistance and automatic braking, parents can do their best to prevent distracted driving. 

Comfort  

Families are constantly on the go. For this reason, a good family car must come equipped with comfortable seating, extra cargo space, and a quiet cabin to keep the chaos from outside sneaking in. Even though a tantrum or two might happen, the more comfortable interior, the more likely both you and your family will enjoy the drive. 

Value

Families of varied incomes will appreciate the amount of options available in today’s automotive market. Before buying or leasing, you want to make sure you are getting a good value. From crossover to compact SUVs, parents have the opportunity to consider the most economical choice to the highest luxury SUV thanks to the amount of competition in the market. 

Ready for the road ahead

The time will come when that sporty two-door will lose its charm and a family car takes its place. The good news — you won’t have to sacrifice style in return. The Kia Telluride, Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Expedition are some of the top family cars on the market, and will make the perfect addition to your family. Take a closer look at this year’s most affordable SUVs for families or otherwise to help you broaden your search.
