The all new Hyundai Sonata was named a Kelly Blue Book ‘Best Family Car’ recently receiving high marks for safety, comfort, convenience, spaciousness for both passengers and cargo, and fit of various rear-facing and forward-facing child safety car seats. The Sonata was also recognized for its value and class-leading warranty combined with solid resale value and refinement.
“Safety is a top priority for families shopping for a new car, so we ensure our vehicles offer the latest safety technology and the best crash performance,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, product and corporate planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Earning the designation of a Best Family Car by the expert automotive editors at Kelley Blue Book means the Sonata passed not only the safety test but also the test on the ease of car seat installations and more — meeting needs of the modern family.”
The KBB.com editors tested a group of vehicles for two weeks. They drove, lived with, folded down the seats of, paired phones to and installed baby seats in each of the contenders. The KBB.com editors also loaded cargo, contorted themselves into third rows, watched movies on rear-seat screens and toted rowing teams to marinas — in short, they did everything that families might do with a vehicle day to day. And because many of the editors have their own children with ages ranging from newborn to college-age, they did all this with a certain sense of what a family needs and wants.
