Best Vehicles for Large Families
August 6, 2015
It's August and that means school time is right around the corner. As you get ready to transport your family back and forth to school, sports practice, dance class, band practice, and whatever other activities kids do nowadays, you may be realizing you suddenly need a larger vehicle to get everyone – and their gear – where they need to go.
If you're in the market for such a vehicle, you'll want to check out Consumer Reports' latest list of the seven best minivans and SUVs for hauling the family around. Vehicles on the list include the Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Dodge Durango. See below for the full list.
And if you're considering any of these family-sized vehicles, I highly recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices in your area.
