Choosing a Toyota vehicle for the family can be easy or difficult, depending on whichever way you look at it. Why? Because almost all Toyotas make good family cars. So it’s easy because you’re sure to find something that suits your family and hard because it’s going to take a little time to decide with such a wide choice! So we’ve picked the top four best Toyotas for families to help make your decision easier.
Best SUV: Toyota Highlander
This three-row crossover SUV makes its way on to Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars list for the third consecutive year in a row. It seats eight comfortably and can even accommodate a family pet. Its spacious cabin’s first two rows seat adults comfortably, with the third row better suited for kids, although adults can fit in that row at a squeeze. A great family feature of the XLE and Limited Platinum models is the option of adding a rear-seat entertainment system, which includes a Blu-ray DVD player so kids can be kept occupied on those long-distance journeys.
Best Minivan: Toyota Sienna
The Toyota Sienna scores top marks in the minivan category for several reasons. For one, it’s the only minivan in the U.S. with all-wheel drive. It also scores really well on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash test performance. It’s a wonderfully roomy van that seats eight comfortably. Plus, seats slide forward or back a lot farther than other vehicles in its class. This allows passengers more legroom or creates more space for extra cargo. The rear-entertainment system offers a dual-view Blu-ray DVD system which will put an end to the kids’ squabbling over what to watch.
Best Sedan: Toyota Camry
No surprise that the 2016 Toyota Camry makes it on the list in the large family sedan category. This is, after all, America’s best-selling car. While this is a practical car that makes it perfect for families, the new 2016 Camry is also sporting racier looks with a more prominent black mesh grille. It offers plenty of room with a generous back seat and 15 cubic feet of trunk space. A cool feature of the 2016 Camry is the Qi wireless charging pad — there’s no hassle with cords, as you just place your phone on the tray and push the charge button.
Looking for something with great fuel efficiency? Then opt for the Hybrid version. Overall, the Toyota Camry is sure to dominate the family sedan market well into the future.
Best Budget: Toyota Corolla
The trusty Corolla has been part of the Toyota lineup for decades. It’s slightly smaller than the Camry but still offers enough space for smaller families at an affordable price. Renowned for its reliability, you can count on your Corolla to not leave you stranded by the side of the road. It also comes with several safety features, including eight airbags, brake assist, and smart stop technology. Overall, it may not come with all the bells and whistles, but if you’re looking for more bang for your buck, this is a dependable and fuel-efficient, midsize family car that comes in at a great price.
Still unsure? Then head down to Central City Toyota or your nearest Toyota dealer to view the full range of models. You’ll find the Toyota that best suits your family, with ample space for the kids and family dog!
