Use the term \u201cfamily car\u201d and you\u2019ll likely get a response that includes a scrunched up face accompanied by something about not wanting to drive a minivan.<\/p>\n

While \u201cfamily cars\u201d may not generate interest and excitement the way the latest Ford Mustang or Tesla Model S does, it\u2019s an important segment in the market. It\u2019s also one that is consistently getting a more expansive meaning. If it\u2019s got wheels and a motor, it may be a family car.<\/p>\n

However, each year U.S. News &\u2008World Report cuts through all the clutter to compile its annual \u201cBest Cars for Families\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/a> list, and 2021 is no exception. The organization reviewed a total of 86 vehicles before naming the nine best family cars in different categories.<\/p>\n
