The experts at Kelley Blue Book have picked the Best Family Cars of 2019.

This list has been developed following in-depth testing and a thorough review of 2019 model-year vehicles with a focus on safety, overall value, driver-assist features, connectivity and technology.

Matt DeLorenzo, senior managing editor for Kelley Blue Book, said “We have seen an uptick in the number of consumers seeking advanced safety features as their top priority when searching for a new car.

DeLorenzo said that adaptive headlights, rear cross-traffic alerts and automatic emergency braking are just a few standout advanced safety features that once were only available as options on luxury vehicles, but now are standard on vehicles that have a MSRP of less than $30,000.
