Subaru is well-known for its unpretentious, affordable, and roomy all-wheel-drive vehicles. As a result, their cars have become an absolute favorite for buyers looking for an automobile to fit their whole family comfortably. A Subaru dealership in Covington is naming their top five best cars that have made it in the most recent Parents’ and Good Housekeeping’s best list for family vehicles.
For this list, the vehicles are chosen based on their National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) safety ratings and opinions from certified, independent passenger-safety and automotive experts. Here are the top five best cars for families, according to a Subaru dealership in Covington.
Subaru Ascent
Leading the pack is the Subaru Ascent, a midsize crossover SUV that easily fits seven to eight passengers with plenty of room to spare for luggage. If you like taking your family on long road trips, this vehicle is the best fit. Unlike most of its competitors, the Ascent uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, giving it a smooth and steady drive. As for safety, the NHTSA provides the ascent with the perfect score (5 out of 5), while the IIHS gives it a straight G (Good) rating. If you have little kids, the Ascent can accommodate up to five car seats. It also uses the LATCH system, so you can quickly secure and release your babies whenever necessary.
Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
Probably the most fun vehicle to drive on this list, the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is the most connected, equipped, and fuel-efficient Crosstrek to date. Its hybrid technology enables the car to combine the efficiency of plug-in electric models with the long-range driving capabilities of a traditional SUV. You also don’t need to worry if you end up somewhere you cannot plug in as its gas engine automatically charges the electric battery. As a result, the Crosstrek Hybrid earned an overall five-star rating from the NHTSA and a G overall evaluation rating from IIHS.
Subaru Forester
The Forester is simply the all-time favorite for most car owners. The vehicle can accommodate more passengers than its most formidable competitors, has a high fuel-efficiency rating, and is equipped with all the latest safety features that Subaru offers. In addition, you easily fit two car seats, and you will still have some room for all the knick-knacks that you usually bring on a fun vacay. Indeed, it’s the best of its class.
Subaru Legacy
Don’t let this midsize sedan fool you. The Subaru Legacy can safely drive your family to your next destination, whether there’s sleet, rain, or snow. The interior is quite roomy. You can even fit up to three car seats in the back if you need it. The Subaru Legacy also has all the latest technology and safety features from Subaru. Both the NHTSA and IIHS gave it the highest safety rating.
Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback is a technology-laden SUV that can handle everything, from errands to off-road adventures. It has everything that you’ll ever want in an SUV. It has a roomy interior, comfortable seats, built-in crossbars and dual-position cargo cover, and most importantly, advanced safety features to keep your family safe throughout the journey. Also, like its brothers, the Subaru Outback is highly rated by the NHTSA and IIHS in terms of safety.
If there’s anything that these Subaru models prove, it’s that you can never go wrong with a Subaru. If you want to know more about these models, check out Baldwin Subaru.
