Best Cars for Families in 2022 (According to Experts)

If you’re in the market for a family car, you’re probably thinking more along the lines of “Is it safe?” or “Can it fit a stroller?” rather than “Is it fast?” or “Does it look good?” Luckily, car manufacturers want to make sure you have it all: Safety, practicality, looks… and maybe a not-your-mom’s-minivan sort of speed. So whether you need a seven-seater or a sedan, here’s a list of the best family cars of 2022 (according to experts).
