Finding the right car for a family of five is not an easy task. You have to consider more than just cargo space, comfort, or the powerplant. Each family is unique and requires a tailor-made solution. What models are worth considering?
Volkswagen Tiguan
The German brand is known for its proven solutions that will meet the needs of any family. Produced since 2007, the Tiguan is a sizable car that is built on the PQ35 chassis. Although it is an SUV, this car will find itself perfectly among the demanding urban jungle. Quick shopping, going out of town or picking up the kids from school will not cause him any problem. Also noteworthy are the excellent cargo capacity and aesthetic qualities
Renault Grand Espace
This is a true legend among all family cars. Extremely spacious, comfortable and surprisingly agile car has won the hearts of many a family. While there’s a lot to be said about French motoring, it’s also fair to say that their family cars are raising the bar year after year. The key word for the Renault Grand Espace is storage compartments. You’ll find them literally everywhere, and since you’re raising three kids, you know that you can never have too many handy things. This car will work well both on a long road trip and for everyday shopping.
Opel Zafira
The Zafira is the budget version of the family car. It is worth mentioning at this point that this is by no means a bad thing – proven and simple solutions are extremely durable. Deciding on the Zafira, you know that you won’t encounter any major technical problems. I think this is an extremely important criteria for all families with children. Although it is a noticeably smaller vehicle than the previous suggestions, the Zafira will certainly meet your expectations.
Škoda Superb
The Superb is another budget version of a family car. The Czech production doesn’t stand out from the more discerning crowd, but the biggest selling point of the Škoda Superb is its full-functionality and surprising durability. As a family car, this model will be perfect on the road and in the city. Those more demanding may be tempted to get a richer version of equipment, which will certainly meet all the expectations of new owners.
Audi Q7
Another German production is characterized by everything you can expect from a family car – luxury, spaciousness and… enormous power. The giant SUV is known for its brilliant handling and driving comfort. Interestingly, despite its size and engine capacity, the Audi Q7 is an exceptionally fuel-efficient car, whose fuel consumption when driving in the city is not much different from that on the road. German engineers know their craft. The obvious downside of this model is the price, which is quite a strain on the family budget.
Honda CR-V
Honda CR-V, which is the Japanese answer to the problem of family mobility. Honda is known for its more modest, more efficient and above all extremely durable drive units. In addition, the CR-V defends itself with a functional interior and high ground clearance, which is not afraid of speed bumps, high curbs or streetcar tracks. In the case of this model, it is best to pay attention to the diesel unit with a capacity of 2.2 liters. Unlike the other items on our list, the CR-V will cope well with more demanding terrain.
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
The honorable place of our list belongs to the French production. The Grand Picasso is another top example of French design thinking aimed at larger families. The biggest pluses of the C4 Grand Picasso include comfortable driving, attractive design and functional interior. One thing is certain – this model will not disappoint you
