The best cars for a large family: top 5

When choosing a family car, you should first of all pay attention to the reliability of the model, and the capacity and volume of the trunk. A car should be not only comfortable, but also safe, roomy, and economical. The modern market offers a wide range of models that will satisfy the needs of even the most demanding families.

The availability of modern safety systems, such as ABS, ESP, will create an additional level of protection. And to save fuel, you should pay attention to hybrid or electric models. The details are provided by TopGear.

Skoda Superb Estate

Experts recommend the new Skoda Superb Estate as an ideal alternative to more premium station wagons thanks to its excellent combination of build quality, practicality, and space. It now has a huge 690 liters of boot space, 30 liters more than its predecessor, or a whopping 1920 liters with the seats down.

A 1.5-liter mild hybrid gasoline engine with 148 hp is available. However experts advise choosing a 2-liter engine, especially if you regularly intend to pull cargo in a regular car. In the gasoline version, you can have 204 or 265 hp, and in the diesel version – 150 or 193 hp. More powerful versions have all-wheel drive. All are mated to a seven-speed DSG transmission as standard, except for the 1.5-liter hybrid, which works with a six-speed transmission.

VW ID.Buzz

Two versions will be available – the five-seat ID. Buzz and ID. Auto using the same MEB platform as ID. 3, ID. 4, and ID. 5. There are sliding doors on both sides. The drivetrain has also been relocated: a 77 kWh battery powers a 204 hp/228 lb-ft engine that drives the rear axle.

The VW ID.Buzz is light and easy to drive and creates a sense of comfort that no other SUV can match (except maybe the Range Rover). Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 10.2 seconds. In the city, it is nimble, but since only the rear wheels are driven, the turning radius is impressively small.

BMW i5 Touring

This is the all-electric BMW 5 Series Touring and the first all-electric executive-size wagon on the market. BMW has offered a choice of rear- or twin-engine electric suites with a 570-liter boot and more technology.

The entry-level version is the eDrive40, which transmits 335 hp to the rear wheels only. The claimed range is more than 537 km from a battery with a capacity of 81.2 kWh. The BMW i5 Touring is currently the best car in its class.

Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a family SUV that has seven seats with cargo space. Hyundai notes that it is priced against the five-seat BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60, but has the space of a seven-seat X5, Q7, or XC90.

In this generation, the Santa Fe runs exclusively on gasoline and electricity with a four-cylinder hybrid with front or all-wheel drive or a PHEV version of the same engine with all-wheel drive only. In both cases, the base engine is the same: A 1.6-liter direct injection and turbocharged engine developing 158 hp. The regular hybrid complements this with a 64 hp electric motor and develops a maximum power of 212 hp, the standard version has a larger engine with 93 hp and 250 hp.

Dacia Jogger

Now there's a completely revamped Dacia lineup on the market (the Sandero and Duster look great) and even a new model, a seven-seat MPV/utility vehicle. Sure, the Jogger doesn't look like a premium car - there's a lot of hard plastic and exposed metal - but the Jogger doesn't pretend to be anything more.

In fact, it's quite decent to drive. The gasoline version has a 1-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with 109 hp and a six-speed manual transmission. The hybrid uses a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a small electric motor producing 138 hp to offer a combination of a gasoline engine with an electric drive and driving only on an electric car.
