U.S. News Best Cars, the ultimate source for car rankings, car reviews and Car-buying advice, released the Best Cars for Families Awards.  The awards identify the best family cars across 20 automotive categories.  Honda is leading all manufacturers (tied with Toyota), taking home five of the prestigious awards.

“Families are spending more time in their cars than ever and finding the right family car is complex and time-consuming,” says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “The Best Cars for Families Awards save parents time and anxiety by highlighting cars that are safe, comfortable and affordable over the long term.”

The U.S. News Best Cars for Families Awards take component scores from the U.S. News Best Cars rankings and weigh them to reflect what families look for in their cars. Safety, reliability, comfort and affordability are paramount to families when they shop for cars, and the Best Cars for Families Award winners are the cars that do the best on those measures.  Five-year total cost of ownership data from TrueCar.com is also included in the award equation.

What sets the U.S. News Best Cars for Families Awards apart from other car awards is that they don’t reflect the opinion of just the U.S. News Best Cars editors.  The scores used to determine the award winners are based on the collective opinion of the automotive press as expressed through published reviews from credible sources.  This data-driven approach makes the Best Cars for Families Awards a smart source for any family shopping for a new car.  It is one of the few awards you can fully trust.

The U.S. News car rankings are a valuable decision-making tool for consumers. The rankings use reviews from respected sources and a weighted algorithm to create objective reviews and rankings lists. Rather than trust the opinion of any one person, U.S. News Automotive compiles judgments from authorities across the automotive industry to create a one-stop shop for buyers looking for information.
