Family vehicles abound both in the new and used car markets. Whether it's mid-size sedans, multi-segment SUVs, or even minivans, there's certainly one - if not several! - that fits your needs and budget! Occasion Beaucage has compiled a Top 5 list of the best family vehicles, based on their popularity among buyers, their value for money, and their versatility, among other factors.
Intermediate Sedans
Spacious and performance-oriented, these sedans comfortably accommodate up to 5 occupants. They also feature numerous amenities and offer unmatched driving pleasure.
Like all Honda vehicles, the Accord enjoys great popularity among buyers due to its legendary reliability, smooth driving experience, and numerous amenities, making it a highly sought-after used family car, earning it a spot in our ranking of the best used family cars.
At first glance, you'll notice its elegant and athletic silhouette, regardless of the model year selected. Its large wheels, stylized headlights, and long hood front end will surely captivate you! And although since its redesign it's only available in a 4-door version, you might find a coupe model if you opt for a 2018 or earlier version!
Depending on the model year, you'll have a choice between a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine, with the latter no longer available starting from 2018. But regardless of what's under the hood - even a hybrid engine! - you'll enjoy a smooth ride and solid performance!
One cannot mention the Honda Accord without talking about the Toyota Camry! Just like its rival, it has repeatedly earned the title of Best Used Family Car; so it's no surprise to see it in this ranking! Sporting a sporty and refined silhouette, it also stands out for its exceptional longevity and excellent value for money!
Depending on the model year chosen, the used Camry offers a 4 or 6-cylinder engine, as well as a hybrid version for the most recent models. And just like its rival, it's a champion of energy efficiency!
Minivans
When it comes to 7-seater vehicles, minivans are the go-to choice! Reigning supreme in the market before the popularity of SUVs, these "minivans" offered - and still offer - everything a small or large family needs, namely plenty of space, while providing a more stylish design than traditional "Econoline" vans. We have selected 3 for you.
The best-selling minivan in the country for over 3 decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan has won over families due to its unbeatable price and performance. Its robust silhouette, typical of Dodge vehicles, its powerful 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine, and its towing capacity of up to 3,600 pounds should be enough to convince you.
Spacious, the interior of this 7-passenger vehicle offers a cargo volume of nearly 4,000 liters when the 2nd and 3rd rows of seats are folded down. Its Stow 'n Go seats, UConnect system, as well as heated seats and dual-zone temperature control are among the features you might find on board.
Having won the title of best family vehicle several times, the Honda Odyssey is more than a wise choice! Its configuration for 7 or 8 occupants gives it a clear advantage over models that only offer 7 seats. Its refined silhouette and meticulously crafted interior finish, as only Honda can do, will quickly convince you.
Under the hood, you'll enjoy a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine for 2018 and newer models, while earlier versions come with a respectable 248 horsepower. Additionally, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Here's another minivan accustomed to winning accolades, and it rounds out our top 5 best family vehicles. Able to accommodate between 7 and 8 occupants depending on the model, it's the only minivan in its category to offer all-wheel-drive variants for over a decade!
Depending on the model year, you'll find either a 3.5-liter V6 engine or a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder, with the latter being discontinued in 2014. You'll also appreciate its impressive towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds and its impressive handling, worthy of Toyota vehicles.
You can also choose from our SUVs, which make excellent family vehicles; check out our Top 5 Used SUVs to learn more!
