Family cars are cool now — genuinely cool. That’s the main takeaway we had when pulling together the 2023 best cars of the year. Ranging from the Mercedes-Benz EQB to the sleek new Toyota Prius (no joke), the collection of vehicles reflects both the broad spectrum of available options as well as the stark realization that car makers are very much prioritizing the needs of families. All of the cars on our list are safer, more feature packed, and more pleasurable to drive and ride in than ever before. Whether you’re looking for a full-sized family hauler that’s more than capable of tackling all your weekend warrior fantasies or a sensible daily driver that doesn’t skimp on all the tech you need, that vehicle is here.
