Market trends are showing a steep incline of crossovers and SUVs as the vehicle of choice for millennials just starting their families. SUVs offer space and seating options that can only be beaten by the less-fashionable minivan.
However, there are families of all shapes and sizes. A smaller family may find a sedan is the perfect fit, and a multigenerational family may prefer the improved cabin and cargo space a minivan affords.
That's why Kelley Blue Book searches all segments of vehicle looking specifically for features that make a car great for families, like safety and entertainment. The KBB staff tests new cars out on their own families, using them the same way you would, and compiles a list of Best Family Cars.
The Best Family Cars of 2016 included the 2016 Honda Civic, Accord, HR-V, CR-V, Pilot and Odyssey.
Honda was the most recognized brand on the 2016 list, with six models recognized in each of the four vehicle categories.
