Hyundai SUVs hailed in Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars List 

MANILA: The Hyundai Palisade, Santa Fe, and Ioniq 5 were included in Kelley Blue Book’s (KBB) 2026 Best Family Cars List. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What US organization makes the 2026 Best Family Cars List?

    It is Kelley Blue Book.

  • What specific criteria did these Hyundai SUVs meet to earn a spot on the Best Family Cars List?

    The vehicles were evaluated by KBB based on factors that families prioritize most for daily usability and peace of mind. These include safety, reliability, efficiency, and overall value, as well as the vehicles' ability to blend technology and flexibility without compromise.

    • Per the South Korean carmaker, the inclusion of the said sport utility vehicle (SUV) nameplates in the annual list recognizing the best family-oriented models in the United States (US) allows the marque to stand out with buyers.

    “The three Hyundai models represent a quarter of the vehicles recognized by KBB as the best for families,” it added.
