Buying a family car is an entire grueling process. What you need is a car that performs well, is very fuel-efficient, very reliable, and above all, has tons of space. Luckily, the market has a ton of options that offer pretty much everything you want, save for one thing – space. Getting the right kind of car with the right kind of space is the hardest for anyone shopping for a family marque.

That’s because the space needed in a family car is not simply cargo space. You want enough wiggle room at the second and even third row of seating for your kids. You also want extra storage compartments and space for items such as backpacks, strollers, sports equipment, and coolers.

That’s what these 10 cars offer. In addition, some of them come packed with extra features such as additional USB charging ports, latch car-seat connectors, and a good supply of cup holders.

If you’re looking for a mid-size three-row SUV with a ton of space, then the Hyundai Palisade should be on your bucket list. This SUV is praised for not only a spacious cabin and cargo space but also an intuitive dashboard layout and class-leading features that make every trim worth the price.

For 2021, the Palisade shares the same platform as the Kia Telluride, though Hyundai gives it a distinct styling that separates it from the Kia. However, according to some critics, the styling is not globally appealing, and you might dislike the rather tight door pockets. Despite these shortcomings, the top trim is praised for offering Genesis-like comfort and refinement in the cabin.
