While driving, reviewers look for attributes relative to the expectations set by the manufacturer and by consumer expectations. Performance of the vehicles is compared against the identified competitive set. Towing capability for trucks and SUVs also is considered.
Production will end in 2023, so get one while you can. There’s also a dearth of standard active-safety features, though Dodge does make many available for extra cost. The quartet of V8s offers up to 797 horsepower and BMW M5-like speed, but fuel economy is weak in all versions (there’s certainly no hybrid and never will be) and downright abysmal on the hottest ones. All-wheel drive is optional and the big footprint means lots of room inside, with Accord-like rear legroom and a huge, 16.5 cubic-foot trunk. It’s focus is performance and excitement, and it’s the only car on this list to offer a V8 engine (in fact, there are four different ones to choose from) and real performance car options.īut even in its base-model V6 form, the Charger is fun to drive and excels as a family car. A huge rear-drive design, the now-very-old Dodge dates way back to the mid-2000s but has seen periodic chassis, styling and technology updates. If there’s one car that’s unlike all the others on this list, it’s the Charger. Honda Sensing suite of advanced driver-assistance safety-tech helped it earn a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and pick up five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA). The Accord’s segment-topping 16.7 cubic-feet of trunk space edges out that of its long-time rival, the Toyota Camry. The Accord boasts 40.4 inches of rear legroom and 55 inches of rear hip room, enough for an adult or a full-size child car seat to fit with ease. That’s all topped off by generous standard equipment levels and excellent safety scores. The hybrid model, which loses no space or convenience to its battery pack, also returns up to 48 mpg combined. It’s got the looks, handling and performance to be a reasonable sports sedan stand-in, particularly in higher-performance 2.0T form, but the comfort and practicality that families need. The Honda Accord took the ho-hum affordable sedan formula and honed it not one of the most versatile examples of the breed. They were selected based on their interior space, safety scores, performance and test-drive evaluations. These are the best family-friendly cars available for 2022. The trend towards SUVs has also led some companies to make more efficient use of space within the sedan template, as on the Subaru Legacy. Once boring and anonymous family cars like the Honda Accord are, in 2022, often sleek fastbacks that look fancier than their pricetags would suggest.
Low-slung sedans also offer designers the opportunity to infuse these products with much more style. Plus, there are few better ways to keep cargo and belongings out of sight and secure than placing them in a traditional trunk rather than under a retractable piece of fabric in a crossover’s cargo old. While they may not offer the raw interior volume of an SUV or minivan, these familiar sedans make up for by offering better fuel economy, more engaging driving experiences and often, more features at a lower sticker price. Many are more stylish, roomy and practical than they’ve ever been, and they’re universally safer than the sedans of even a decade ago. The relentless march of SUVs and crossovers may have taken the wind out of sedan sales, but traditional four-door family cars are better than ever in most respects.
