Top 5 Most Family-Friendly Cars Of 2016

Cars, or more specifically, SUVs meant to carry around an entire family have a completely different set of prerequisites for the car manufacturers to follow than, say, developing a sports car or even a dedicated off-roader. The SUV has to be spacious with enough creature comforts thrown in to allow for a pleasurable ride. The SUV has to offer a comfortable ride as well while being fuel efficient as well.

Mentioned here five of the best SUVs meant for use by the entire family.

1. Audi Q2

The Q2 is one of the classiest crossover SUVs that sets new benchmarks for others to follow in the segment. Its richly appointed interiors, excellent build, along with a smart range of engine options makes the Q2 one of the best SUVs for families. However, this vehicle is also the costliest in this list.

2. Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is all about its solid build quality that imparts a sort of invincible quality to the SUV. It may not be the most spacious SUV around but makes up for that with its superb refinement along with an impressive range of engine options.

3. Honda HR-V

The Honda mini SUV can be the best thing a small family can have. It can seat five comfortably and boasts a combined fuel efficiency rating of 28 to 31 mpg. The HR-V is also among the safest with a 5-star crash rating. Cargo space is also decent and is, in fact, the best among its peers, Car Buyer said.

4. Mazda CX-3

The CX-3 from Mazda is among the most reliable SUVs now available. It is laden with technology and offers decent storage and passenger space. The CX-3 is also among the best-looking SUVs currently available and drives really well. 

5. Ford Escape

The Ford Escape comes across as a small SUV that is really a joy to handle. Acceleration is brisk too, which, together with its handling attributes makes the Escape as truly the driver's SUV. Passenger or cargo space is just about adequate while fuel efficiency is also nowhere near the best in class. However, as Edmunds have stated, it more than makes up for that with its superb driving attributes.
