Best New Hyundai Vehicles for Families

Each Hyundai vehicle is built with a specific demographic in mind. Even though something like the Hyundai Accent is ideal for young workers who make regular commutes every day, it may not fit the bill for families looking for a new vehicle. Below, you can discover some of the best new Hyundai vehicles for families so that you can make the most informed buying decision possible.

2023 Hyundai Tucson

The 2023 Hyundai Tucson is a reliable SUV that’s perfect for families of up to five people. This vehicle is available in five gas-powered trims and five hybrid and plug-in hybrid trims, so you can search through them all to find one that’s within your budget and up to your standards in terms of features. If you’re looking for something simple and economical, the base SE trim level is more than enough to impress everyone in your group.

It comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and an 8-inch color touch-screen display. Other features worth noting include LED headlights and a rear occupant alert warning, which are helpful for driving through schools, shopping malls, and other crowded areas you may frequent with your family.

If anyone in your crew is an engine junky, this vehicle is sure to impress for its price. It comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that boasts up to 187 horsepower. Even the most sensible family members can’t complain, as the vehicle gets up to 33 mpg on the highway and up to 26 mpg in the city, which is quite admirable given the vehicle’s size and lower price range.

Let’s say you love the 2023 Hyundai Tucson but want a vehicle that’s a little flashier. You can upgrade to a higher trim level and access some additional features that can help you welcome your new vehicle to the family with pride. For instance, the Limited trim level has a larger, 10.25-inch infotainment screen and a panoramic sunroof for maximum enjoyment on road trips. There are also a couple of notable safety features, including Remote Smart Parking Assist and Blind-Spot View Monitor, both of which can help you drive with confidence.

2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has quite a reputation thanks to its ruggedness, but it has distinct elements that allow it to appeal to families. For instance, it comes with an available second-row seat button release. You can engage this button to let the second-row seat down with no effort, allowing for easy loading and unloading of all your family’s cargo.

Another family-friendly feature that the Santa Fe presents is the available HTRAC all-wheel drive. This drivetrain is available with the SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. With this configuration, there’s no terrain that’s too tough for you and your family to conquer. You can drive through mud, snow, and otherwise uneven ground with little effort, meaning you can embark on all the adventures you’ve planned with confidence.

2023 Hyundai Palisade

The 2023 version of the Palisade is a new Hyundai vehicle that has room for up to eight people thanks to the bench seating in the second and third rows, making this vehicle ideal for larger families. You and your squad can really get going with this vehicle, as its 3.8-liter V-6 engine can produce up to 291 horsepower.

If you enjoy going on road trips with your family, expect to get up to 27 mpg on the highway. This high fuel economy is hard to find in larger vehicles, so your wallet will thank you at the gas pump every time you stop to refuel.

The Palisade lets you keep all your passengers entertained with the 12.3-inch infotainment screen, as you can use it to pull up music and podcasts. It also displays navigation instructions to keep the family en route. Depending on what trim level of the Palisade you get, you can access features like a Wi-Fi hot spot, roof rails for extra storage, and heated seats.

2023 Hyundai Sonata

The 2023 Hyundai Sonata is different from the other vehicles we’ve mentioned, as it’s a sedan rather than an SUV. You may consider getting this sedan if you want a family-friendly vehicle but don’t necessarily have the room for an SUV. The 2023 Sonata is the perfect alternative. It has comfortable interior seating for your family to enjoy the car ride on the way to school drop-off. The trunk also has a generous 16 cubic feet of space so that you can store backpacks and school projects on the weekdays and plenty of adventure gear on the weekends.

The Sonata is also quite practical in terms of its fuel efficiency. It’s equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides up to 28 mpg for city driving, which is nothing to glance over. Even more impressive is the Sonata’s highway-driving fuel economy, which is up to 38 mpg. The Sonata’s standard trim level places a heavy emphasis on safety features, which is especially important when you’re driving with little ones. Some standard safety features on the base trim level include Lane Follow Assist and Driver Attention Warning.

As much as we love the Sonata’s base trim level, it has some notable upper-level trims. All you have to do is look at the SEL trim level, which is one level up from the Sonata’s base model. Some of the Sonata’s most convenient features are the heated front seats, which are godsends for stressed-out parents. This trim level also comes with a hands-free smart trunk release, which is helpful for loading groceries when your hands are full.

While every family is unique, one thing’s for sure: Any close-knit unit can benefit from the family-centric vehicles we’ve listed above.
