As any parent will tell you, families need cars that are reliable, affordable and designed to make life with kids easier. While family cars tend to conjure up images of back-seat turf wars, scattered snacks and dowdy styling, the right family car can be an extension of the home, providing a comfortable space for families to spend time together while they get where they need to go. |
The 2012 U.S. News Best Cars for Families Awards help busy parents navigate the confusing new car market by highlighting cars, minivans and SUVs that provide the best combination of features, utility, safety and reliability. The 17 Best Cars for Families award winners provide the safety, features and ownership experience today’s families demand.

The Ford Edge will appeal to families who have two or three kids, but want extra space for carpooling or for the family dog.

Finding the right family car can be overwhelming. While features like rear-seat entertainment systems and wi-fi hotspots grab attention, truly family-friendly cars also offer safety, reliability, and utility. The U.S. News Best Cars for Families Awards identify vehicles that offer the best combination of the bells and whistles today’s families want, and the basics they need. The winning vehicles may not put an end to back-seat squabbles, but they should make life for parents just a little bit easier.
