Best SUVs for Families in Cleveland, OH

 

The SUV sector is notoriously competitive, so it's no surprise that finding the best SUVs for families out of the many options available can be a challenge. We've put together a list of the top five SUVs for families, and we explain why the Ford Escape tops the list when it comes to great value.

Ford Escape

With a plug-in hybrid option (the 2.5l iVCT Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine) that benefits from best-in-class fuel efficiency, as well as three other powerful, economical engines to choose from, the Escape has the technology and design needed to stand its ground in the SUV arena.

Beautifully styled with a modern, sporty vibe, the Escape features an innovative interior design that provides plenty of space for passengers and luggage. From a rotary gear shift dial to Active Park Assist, a premium sound system, and a foot-activated tailgate, the Escape has been styled for convenience.

A suite of autonomous driving features — the Co-pilot 360 technology — includes Pre-collision Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Safe, practical, attractive, spacious, and great to drive, the Escape is one of the best SUVs for families.

Toyota RAV-4

If you're looking for a more compact SUV that gives you plenty of bang for your buck, the RAV-4 is a decent family SUV. A perennial bestseller, the RAV-4 attracts buyers with its relatively large amount of space, punchy engine, fast acceleration, and the option of up to 42 miles of electric-only driving with the hybrid model.

Unfortunately, some reviewers aren't impressed by the comfort of the passenger seat, while others don't feel the handling is as good as it could be despite the impressive acceleration and torque.

Honda CR-V

Another strong SUV from Japan, the Honda CR-V is spacious, a joy to drive, and comfortable enough to ensure passengers enjoy the trip as well.

Reviewers aren't overly impressed with its styling and are quick to criticize the lackluster design of the infotainment screen.

There's also the thorny issue of cost. The Escape has a markedly lower entry price point than the CR-V. If budget is an issue, the Escape offers excellent value.

Kia Telluride

South Korean brands, such as Kia and Hyundai, manufacture competitively priced SUVs that are big on tech and gadgetry. The Telluride is no exception, benefiting from a powerful V6 engine, plenty of space for passengers and luggage, and many active safety features.

Capable of carrying up to eight passengers, the Telluride is an attractive option for families that are on the larger side.

The number of infotainment options, trim levels, and safety features make our overall top pick for the best SUV for families, the Ford Escape.
