If you're tasked with driving your family around, it's time to explore Hyundai's newest lineup. Both the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the Hyundai Kona have been honored as Best Family Cars by PARENTS magazine. This award reflects Hyundai's focus on engineering vehicles that are comfortable, secure, and equipped with the latest must-have features. In fact, while the Kona was named the Best Compact SUV, the Santa Fe Hybrid received the title of the publication's Best Hybrid SUV.
Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Featuring three rows of seats, the Santa Fe Hybrid emphasizes the comfort of every passenger. PARENTS applauds this SUV for its family-friendly design. Its flexible cabin provides ample legroom and makes it easy to install rear-facing child safety seats. Moreover, several practical storage areas are incorporated throughout the interior. Hyundai's design of a lower-set cargo floor means loading items like strollers and groceries is simpler than ever.
Standard offerings include popular amenities such as dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and technology features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless charging, and Hyundai Digital Key 2. For those seeking a higher level of luxury, Hyundai presents the upscaled Calligraphy trim. Crucially, every trim level comes loaded with an impressive array of advanced safety technologies.
Keep in mind the Santa Fe Hybrid's robust performance. Its turbocharged hybrid engine produces a solid 231 horsepower while maintaining efficiency. Hyundai's adventurous HTRAC AWD system is an option.
Hyundai Kona
The two-row Hyundai Kona is an excellent option for those with a smaller family. The new Kona immediately impresses with its modern exterior styling before you even step inside. Its spacious and comfortable interior is especially noteworthy, with PARENTS commending the Kona for its roomy design that allows families to relax.
The new Kona provides three powertrain choices. The standard four-cylinder engine is energetic and fuel-efficient, while the turbocharged variant boosts power to a spirited 190 horsepower. Environmentally conscious drivers also have the option of an all-electric powertrain that generates 201 horsepower.
Reviewers were particularly impressed with Kona's excellent crash test results. When evaluated by the IIHS, this SUV earned Top Safety Pick+ honors. Standard safety features include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, and Lane-Keeping Assist.
