Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive brand, recently named the 12 Best Family Cars of 2025.

“Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars list offers a wide range of sizes and price points, because we know there is an even broader array of families,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book. “For many years, our Best Family Cars list has featured only SUVs and minivans. Now that’s not to say a family of four or five can’t fit into a sedan, but the market has spoken: The go-to family cars of today actually aren’t cars at all.”

Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars of 2025 features 12 vehicles that cater to the diverse needs of families. The list features mainstream brands exclusively, no luxury marques, because research indicates that’s where more than four in five car buyers place their money. Each car has been evaluated by Kelley Blue Book experts on critical factors such as safety, roominess, functionality, predicted resale value and historical reliability -- elements that are essential for minimizing car-related hassles and maximizing value for families.
