The best family cars and things to consider when buying a family car

A Tesla may not be the first car you think of when looking for a new engine for the family, but what kid wouldn’t be happy to be picked up at the school gates by a singing and dancing EV?

We could talk about the impressive 86% child occupant safety score or the surprisingly roomy 425-liter trunk, but the Model 3 stands out from the other cars on this list with its fun factor. Ask any kid who has tested his Beach Buggy Racing game skills using the steering wheel and huge 15-inch touch screen.

The perfect car to teach kids about the benefits of clean air, but maybe not through the Emissions Test or ‘Fart Mode’.

Price: £49,990 – £59,990
