What are the Best Hyundai Cars for Families?

The perfect family car must wear many hats to cater to a modern family's needs. So what should buyers look for? Key considerations include the number of passengers, safety, cargo capacity, features, fuel economy, and affordability. It's vital to evaluate these considerations when choosing a Hyundai family car.

Why Choose Hyundai For A Family Car

In short, Hyundai offers something for every family. Hyundai's sleek modern designs, spacious interiors, advanced safety features, build quality, fuel efficiency, and superb value for the money make Hyundai vehicles some of the best choices for a family car.

Top Hyundai Family Car

Any of Hyundai's expansive SUV range will more than meet the needs of a family car. Let's share what each has to offer.

Hyundai Santa Fe

The mid-sized Sante Fe is a 5-seater SUV with multiple powertrain options. Available in five trims and fitted with a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter inline-four or a more powerful 277-horsepower turbo four, both engines are available with front- or all-wheel drive.

Useful cargo space of 36.4 cubic feet (cu. ft.) with all seats up, expanding to 72.1 cu. ft with the second-row seats folded down.

EPA fuel economy figures are 25 miles per gallon (mpg) city, 28 highway for the base four-cylinder, 22 mpg city and 28 highway for the turbo variants.

Hyundai Palisade

The largest SUV from Hyundai offers three seating rows accommodating up to 7 passengers. The 3.8-liter V-6 engine produces 291 horsepower driving through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard fitment, with all-wheel drive optional on SE, SEL, and Limited trim levels. The range-topper Calligraphy trim comes standard with all-wheel drive.

With plenty of luxury, connectivity and technology features standard across the five trim levels of the range, and with top trims receiving luxuries such as a panoramic sunroof, in-dash navigation, and quilted leather upholstery there are enough choices for family car shoppers.

Hyundai Tucson

A broad lineup of six trims from base to luxury in the Tucson range gives compact SUV buyers an abundance of choice. Entry-level trims use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while hybrid and plug-in hybrid models make use of a turbocharged 1.6-liter four coupled with an electric motor.

Seating for five occupants, along with useful cargo space of 39 cubic feet, makes for all-round shopping or vacation convenience.

Hyundai Kona

The Kona offers buyers a modern and stylish compact crossover option in the Hyundai SUV lineup. It seats five occupants in its sleek cabin and is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 147 horsepower, with an optional 195 horsepower turbocharged mill.

As with other Hyundai SUV models, the Kona is kitted as standard with an impressive list of features, safety, driver assistance and infotainment technologies.
