Families are growing faster than ever in the U.S., and that growth comes with increased demand in larger family vehicles to accommodate every one for family outings and day-to-day routines. To give you a better idea of the available options (if you’re in the market for a minivan for your growing family), we’ve compiled a list of the best minivans of the year.
- The Chrysler Town & Country: With the Town & Country, Chrysler makes moving the family from one place to another — not only quick and convenient, but fun. The Town & Country has a pretty high level of flexibility with its seating options — including the very popular and unique ability to have the rear seats facing each other with a pop-up table in the middle. This makes for great road trips for the family — allowing the kids to enjoy board games, meals, etc., on the open road.
- The Toyota Sienna: The Sienna has been lauded for its very stylish interior and cool finishes. No longer does driving the family minivan have to make you feel like the chauffeur for soccer practice — the Sienna will have you just as ready for a night out as it does for ferrying kids to school.
- Kia Sedona: The Sedona is not just another minivan; it offers a very luxuriously appointed interior that will let you enjoy ambiance as you deal with the screaming kids, shopping trips and going over the hills and through the woods to grandma’s house.
- Mazda5: Mazda’s Mazda5 may not win any awards for having tons of cargo space, but if you are looking for a smooth and agile ride with great gas mileage, this might be the one for your wish list.
- Honda Odyssey: The Honda Odyssey is the whole package. This minivan comes complete with lots of features in the passenger cabin, while also providing a smooth ride that is very nimble for a minivan.
- The Dodge Grand Caravan: Though noted for its economical entry price, the Grand Caravan doesn’t come up short on the features. With its Stow ‘n Go seating, owners have lots of flexibility, and the Grand Caravan also includes the requisite passenger comfort options — like a multiple screen video entertainment system.
