Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and Kona Named 2025 Best Family Cars Awards by PARENTS  
 

If you're the one entrusted with driving your family around, take a serious look at Hyundai's latest models. Both the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the Hyundai Kona have been recognized as Best Family Cars by PARENTS magazine. This accolade highlights Hyundai's dedication to crafting comfortable, safe vehicles packed with today's top features. Notably, while the Kona earned the title of Best Compact SUV, the Santa Fe Hybrid was honored as the publication's Best Hybrid SUV.

Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

Boasting three rows of seating, the Santa Fe Hybrid prioritizes passenger comfort. PARENTS commends this SUV for its family-friendly layout. Its adaptable cabin provides generous legroom and simplifies the installation of rear-facing child safety seats. Plus, multiple handy storage compartments are conveniently located throughout the interior. With the cargo floor engineered lower, loading items like strollers and groceries is made easier.

Standard amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and tech features such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless charging, and Hyundai Digital Key 2. For those who desire an extra touch of luxury, Hyundai offers the upscaled Calligraphy trim. Every trim, however, comes with a robust suite of advanced safety technologies.

Remember the Santa Fe Hybrid's impressive performance: its turbocharged hybrid engine delivers a robust 231 horsepower while keeping efficiency in focus. Hyundai's bold HTRAC AWD system is offered as an optional upgrade.

Hyundai Kona

For smaller families, the two-row Hyundai Kona is a smart choice. The new Kona's modern exterior design catches the eye even before you step inside. Its roomy and inviting interior is a real highlight, with PARENTS applauding its generous design that allows families plenty of space to unwind.

The new Kona offers three distinct powertrain options. The standard four-cylinder engine is peppy and efficient, while the turbocharged option ramps up the performance to an engaging 190 horsepower. Eco-conscious drivers also have the option of an all-electric powertrain, which produces 201 horsepower.

Crash safety hasn't been overlooked either—when tested by the IIHS, this SUV earned Top Safety Pick+ credentials. Standard crash-prevention features include Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, and Lane-Keeping Assist.
