Just about every national holiday in the U.S. signals some sort of advertised discount on vehicles. And in case you’re in the market for a new ride, this could very well be a great time to buy. And seeing as how summer break is just around the corner, we’ve compiled a list of the best family cars for 2025.
The Top Family Vehicles for 2025
1. The Volkswagen ID.Buzz. 
If your family is the size that demands a minivan, but minivans are the destroyer of your dreams, then you may want to consider this sweet VW electric vehicle. It looks retro and feels uber-cool, but it also has a super roomy interior, and has a range of 234 miles on a charge. Touchscreen technology, lots of charging ports, and space for seven humans to sit comfortably. Starting price is $61,545, which is about on par with many family-targeted SUV’s out there. And not a minivan in site.
2. The Subaru Outback. 
If you and your family spend more time pitching tents and braving the elements than traipsing through cities and highways, this vehicle (car, SUV?) is right up your alley….or forest?! Rugged and roomy, with a fuel economy of 28 MPG and plenty of space for car seats and luggage, this practical car can tow up to 2,700 pounds! Camping trailer, anyone? Base price starts at $29,010.
3. The Toyota Camry. 
Is there a list in which the Camry doesn’t make an appearance? Ever popular and ever practical, this bestselling hybrid makes porting luggage a dream with a 15 cubic foot trunk and an average of 51 MPG fuel efficiency. Standard safety features include emergency braking, lane departure and lane keeping assist, among others. And it sells for a low MSRP of $29, 835
4. The Kia Telluride.
If you’re a die-hard SUV enthusiast, this one’s for you. With a reasonable starting price of $37, 805, this three-row, spacious ride has consistently landed Car and Driver’s Top Ten List for six years in a row. With a seating capacity for eight souls or cargo space 35 carry-on suitcases (depending on your priorities), this work horse can tow up to 5500 pounds. Also, the Telluride comes with a family-friendly voice amplifier which allows the driver’s voice to be heard all the way in the back-back for enhanced communication on those long road trips!
5. The Rivian R1T. 
Okay, we need to start with this: with the larger available battery packs, this pickup is set to have a range of 420 miles on a charge. 420 miles! And, AND, it has a supposed acceleration of 0-60 MPH in 3 seconds. What? Is this a pickup truck or a Porsche? Well, it’s an EV and it’s a truck, and while it comes with a heftier price tag, if your family is the type that needs room to seat five and a towing capacity of 6,100 pounds, this one is for you. For a starting price is $71,700, you can easily leave all the other families in the dust.
