Top 16 New Cars for Families

The 2016 Honda Civic, 2016 Chevrolet Impala, and 2016 Nissan Pathfinder are three models that make up Kelley Blue Book's (KBB) Best Family Cars of 2016.

This year's winners were determined after extensive testing and evaluation with a focus on safety, comfort, convenience, spaciousness, and fit of various child safety car seats. After narrowing down the field to two dozen finalists, KBB.com's editors finalized the list of 16 that includes sedans, minivans, and two and three-row crossover/SUVs. The full list of winners are below.

If you're considering adding any of these top family picks to your garage, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices dealers are offering in your local area.
