There’s a lot to consider when buying a family vehicle. Before making any big decisions, you need to think about space, safety, technology, and many other things. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, you can head to a Chrysler dealer and have several options or head to one of the other local dealers near you. Take a look at some family-friendly vehicles everyone will love.
Chrysler Pacifica
You can’t get much more family-friendly than a minivan, and the Chrysler Pacifica is one of the best. You can load it up with eight of your favorite people, and even with every seat taken, everyone will feel like they have their own space. But the space is just one of the things that drives families to this minivan. It also has lots of storage, including how the second-row seats fold into the floor if you need to leave your family at home and haul large items.
On top of all this, when you go to a Chrysler dealer to test drive the Pacifica, you’ll love the tech. It has the Uconnect 5 infotainment system; you can get it with a fun rear-seat entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV. The kids will love it.
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is the compact SUV you want when you max out at five people to haul around. The seats are comfortable no matter where you sit, and there’s plenty of legroom for the rear seat passengers. Power comes from a 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, which is plenty for this small vehicle.
You can access your phone from the available nine-inch touchscreen that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless charging comes in the mid-level trims and above, making it easy to keep your phone charged while minimizing the wires in the cabin. The CR-V also has all the advanced driver aids you want, including forward collision warning, automatic braking, and traffic jam assist.
Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe has to be on a list of family vehicles. First, it’s a good size for small families because it can fit seven, but it’s not one of those massive SUVs that can be difficult to drive. Second, the trim lineup has a little of everything, but even the entry-level trims have lots of features. You can get heated front and rear seats, and some trims have ventilated front seats.
Both the kids and adults will love the tech features. The smaller touchscreen is an 8-inch screen, but you can get the larger 10.3-inch touchscreen that works with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless charging is also available with this family vehicle.
Chevrolet Traverse
Need more space than the average mid-size SUV gets you? Check out the Chevy Traverse. Your third-row passengers will appreciate the legroom they get, which is more than others in its class. But, even with this legroom, there’s still a large cargo area. The Traverse is about more than just space, though, you can also get the features you want for a comfortable ride, including heated seats, wireless charging, and an intuitive infotainment system.
When you’re ready to upgrade your family vehicle, you can head to a Chrysler dealer for one of the best minivans on the market or take a look at an SUV. Just make sure to test drive a few to make sure you like how it drives, and it has the features you and your family want.
