Parents magazine and Edmunds.com have come together to name the 2015 Hyundai Sonata as one of the Best Family Cars. The Sonata earned this award for its safety and family friendly features like roomy cabin space and intuitive technology.
For the 8th year in a row, car experts from Parents magazine and Edmunds.com determined the top 10 family cars by examining hundreds of vehicles and whittling the list to the safest, most reliable, best performing family friendly models. All the cars share the features that make daily and family journeys easier, such as reliability, impressive mileage and ample cargo capacity.
One of the 7th-generation 2015 Sonata user-friendly feature is the smart trunk that allows a hands-free way to open the trunk while keeping both feet firmly planted on the ground, so putting items like sporting equipment away after a game is easier and more convenient. The owner simply needs to approach the Sonata’s trunk with the key fob in a purse or pocket and wait three seconds. The trunk will automatically open, making it easy to place items inside when hands are full or when carrying a child.
“Families look to their cars to keep them safe while delivering versatility for daily activities and we are proud that the Sonata continues to exceed the expectations of parents on what matters most to them,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “To keep families safe on the road, the Sonata comes standard with 7 airbags, including a new driver’s knee airbag designed to provide additional protection in certain collisions.”
In addition to this award, the Sonata recently was named a U.S. News & World Report Best Midsize Car for Families, KBB.com Best Family Car of 2015 and also won the Cars.com, USA TODAY, MotorWeek Midsize Sedan Challenge.
