Families need their SUVs to be a combo of value, practicality and class. This automatically restricts the number of vehicles that can be considered. You have to think about what SUV is the best for the entire family as opposed to just one person.
All the SUVs presented below are among the best family SUVs you can buy right now. Just make sure that you learn all that you can about them. Sometimes, something as simple as driver position can make the experience of driving an SUV a delight for you or a complete nightmare.
With all this in mind, here are the very best 2019 family SUVs that money can buy.
Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage has a great value when you look at the lower trims. You get access to a lot of equipment and space for how much you pay. It is not the best SUV when it comes to bumpy driving conditions and the engine will be noisy at times.
Nissan Qashqai
Nissan Qashqai has always been popular among families. It is actually the SUV that initially started the family SUV trend. This was a gamble by the manufacturer, one that was made in 2007. The great news is that Nissan has a really good blend of stylish looks and elevated driving profile. It was surpassed by rivals along the years but it is still a reliable family SUV. This is especially the case when you choose the 1.3 liters gas version.
Audi Q3
The second-generation Audi Q3 has an interior with a lot of space (both for luggage and passengers) and a lot of included tech. It is easy to drive, with really accurate steering and composed handling. The only problem is the ride is firm and the engines that sell best do sound a little too rough.
Peugeot 3008
The 2019 Peugeot 3008 has the aggressive exterior styling that is really popular at the moment. The interior is what you would expect to see in an auto show, with some unusual materials and a truly avant-garde design. Peugeot 3008 has great ride comfort and the handling you expect, together with the large boot many families require. The problem is that leg room is mediocre and the infotainment system is sluggish. If these two would be solved, this SUV would be much higher on the list of the best 2019 family SUVs.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Volkswagen Tiguan was the main rival of the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai in the past but it was reinvented and is more expensive now. The competition is now made up of prestige brands like Volvo and BMW. The great news is that the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan takes from the original’s strengths and offers increased comfort and space. Efficiency is higher and the only real problem is that the manufacturer has 2 other SUVs that are cheaper and that have the same capability.
BMW X1
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, X1, is really practical for a family and is available in 4WD and FWD. The only problem with the 2019 BMW X1 is that road noise will be a little higher than what many want to deal with.
Seat Ateca
The 2019 Seat Ateca is practically a great vehicle for the manufacturer since until it, the company did not really tackle the market well. Even so, the wait was worth it since the Ateca is spacious and has some of the best handling in the class. It is definitely really attractive for families because of the price, which is lower than the similar Volkswagen Tiguan.
Skoda Karoq
Similarly to Seat Ateca, the 2019 Skoda Karoq offers what you expect from the Tiguan but you have to pay a lot less for it. It is not sporty but it is really great as an all-rounder. You get a very polished ride with seats that are particularly comfortable. The family SUV also has more equipment than what you get in the Seat Ateca.
Range Rover Evoque
Most people are initially attracted by the Range Rover Evoque’s appearance but when we look at everything we can quickly realize the fact that this is a superb family SUV. It has a posh interior, is great to drive and much more practical than you would expect. The resale value is pretty high and financing usually gives you access to great deals. We are faced with a lot of value for what you pay.
Volvo XC40
It is almost impossible to argue with the fact that the 2019 Volvo XC40 is the best family SUV available on the market right now. It is similar to the other models that Volvo makes in the rear and front lights but the rest is not different, including proportions. The SUV has cutting-edge safety, space, comfort and is affordable.
