We’ve compiled a list of what we consider some of the best family vehicles on sale today. From pragmatic minivans to rugged trucks and versatile SUVs, our list has something for everyone.
Best Cars for Families
Minivans and SUVs have gained ground as the preferred family cars for many drivers, yet there’s still a place for the traditional family sedan. A sedan with five seats and a large trunk can go a long way when handling family duty, and there’s one model that stands out in particular.
Chrysler 300

Its trunk offers up to 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Turn to this for a model that balances fuel efficiency and ferocious power well.
Best Family SUVs
A quality family SUV can offer the versatility that you need. These models tend to offer more headroom than sedans, with adjustable or foldable seats that allow you to pack in more cargo. While our team is happy to show you around our two-row models, the following are some top contenders for the title of best three-row SUV for families.
Jeep Grand Cherokee
While countless families have enjoyed the SUV’s classic two-row configuration over the years, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L makes the iconic nameplate even more family-friendly by offering a third row.

You can find it for sale among our new Jeep vehicles.
Dodge Durango
The Dodge Durango is a strong candidate for the best three-row SUV for families. All but the two base trims offer standard third-row seating, with certain configurations providing spacious and comfortable second-row captain’s chairs.
