Parents magazine and leading car information and shopping network Edmunds.com recently revealed their annual 10 “Best Family Cars of 2016” list – a go-to resource for families considering a new-car purchase. For the ninth consecutive year, automotive and parenting experts partnered to evaluate hundreds of cars, narrowing down the list to the most versatile, value-packed, family-friendly vehicles on the road.
“The car is an extension of home for families – the place where we rehash our days, eat on-the-go meals, and spend quality time together,” says Parents Editor-in-Chief Dana Points. “It’s important that parents feel supported by their car’s extensive range of safety functions so they stay confident on the road. This year’s top picks also highlight features that keep the ride fun and relaxing for every passenger.”

The list includes a vehicle for every family – from those with a newborn to a carload of grade-schoolers to chauffeur to and from soccer practice. “The 10 Best Family Cars of 2016” appears in the July issue of Parents magazine and online at parents.com/best-family-cars.
“When it comes to a family car, there are usually a lot of boxes to check. And we know that it can be daunting for busy parents to research hundreds of vehicles to find the one that’s the perfect mix of economy, convenience and features,” says Edmunds’ lead consumer advice editor, Carroll Lachnit.
“We’re happy to have counted the cupholders and spotted the cars that have that little bit of je ne sais quoi [French for ‘I don’t know what’: a pleasing quality that cannot be exactly named’] so that parents can buy a car with confidence and even have a little fun while they’re doing it,” Lachnit said.
