Finding the right car for your family’s needs can be challenging. It needs to have the right amount of space, the right interior layout, the right design, and good fuel economy to boot. That’s a pretty tall order to fill but 2015 has a bumper crop of outstanding makes and models that might be exactly what your family needs. Here are 10 of the best family-friendly cars for 2015 and what makes them standout options.
Sure, it’s a full-size SUV, but Chevy’s Suburban makes a great choice for anyone who needs tons and tons of space. It offers up to 40 cubic feet of cargo space, and the ability to seat up to nine people in comfort. There are also plenty of perks on offer, such as the flat-folding rear seat row and hidden storage options throughout the cabin. With an MSRP of $46,000, it’s not the cheapest option out there, though. Still, if you’ve got the money, you could do worse.
Yes, the Golf has been around for a very long time, but it still ranks as one of the most popular cars from VW. It’s also a great choice for families, particularly if you’re looking for safety, fuel economy and decent power production. It scored 10 out of 10 in US News safety tests, and it offers outstanding cargo space without cramping your ability to carry passengers. It might not be on par with an SUV here, but the Golf makes a great option for families (and it comes in either a four-door or two-door configuration).

The Nissan Murano has been a mainstay of the brand for years now, but the 2015 model makes it as a top pick for a number of authorities in the automotive sector. One of the most popular perks here is the fact that it comes with the Around-View monitoring system designed to give you the full picture of what surrounds the car on all sides. It’s also plenty spacious, and while it might lack the third row found in other SUVs, it more than makes up for that with lots of leg and headroom in the front and rear.

Kia has come a long way in the past few years, moving from a decidedly budget audience to wider appeal. The 2015 Kia Soul makes a great choice for families for a number of reasons, including the surprisingly roomy interior and the decent storage capacity. If you go this route, opt for the larger 2.0-liter engine rather than the default 1.8-liter – you’ll appreciate the power boost, and it won’t cost you much more at the pump. There are also plenty of tech perks throughout the cabin, including HD radio and a rearview camera (as standard equipment).
The Honda Odyssey has been a top choice for families for decades and is still one of best vehicles out there. There’s plenty of seating room for even large families, and the second row seating can be configured to secure up to three child carseats at one time. There’s a built-in vacuum in the rear for handling those inevitable spills and messes, and it’s backed by Honda’s legendary reliability and value holding capabilities. The entertainment system is among the best on the market as well, keeping the kids entertained on long or short hauls.

Sure, Chevy’s had their share of negative press in the last year or so, but the 2015 Impala still ranks as one of the most family-friendly cars on the road. It’s spacious, with room for the entire family. The trunk is positively cavernous, too. It’s even comfortable enough for adults to ride in the back without feeling like they’re being squeezed into a kiddie seat. In terms of technology, you’ll find Bluetooth and satellite radio, but the Impala even offers a Wi-Fi hotspot as part of its standard features.

This makes Honda’s second entry to this list, and it’s well deserved. The CR-V might not have the off-road prowess of a Jeep, but it’s no slouch. It’s also one of the more family-friendly cars than many other compact SUVs on the market, delivering both good fuel economy and decent interior space (for both passengers and cargo). The CR-V can seat up to five people, and it gets 34 MPG on the highway. Coupled with its $23,000 price tag, it should be one of the top contenders out there for your purchase.
Want a family-friendly car but don’t want to sacrifice luxury? If that’s the case, then you might want to turn away from those German automakers and consider Kia. The K900 offers classic luxury car lines and more perks than you’ll get with a Euro auto. It’s also priced well under its competitors, while delivering features and equipment not available with many other models. It offers a spacious trunk and interior, and leather is standard.

The Acura MDX offers seating for up to seven people, and plenty of room in the back for cargo, whether you’re heading home from the grocery store, to the woods for a camping trip, or down to the soccer field for a game. It also includes leather interior, newly redesigned headlights, and one-touch access to the third row seats.

Looking to green up your ride without downsizing to a Prius? If that’s the case, consider the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Capable of delivering 44 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway, it’s definitely efficient. However, it also offers a lot of perks like the dual-zone climate control system and standard rearview camera. There’s plenty of interior space in the interior and trunk as well.
