When it comes to family life, space, comfort, and convenience are our utmost priority when it comes to choosing a vehicle. Whether it’s weekend getaways or long out-of-town drives this holiday season, the right car can make all the difference.
Today’s family-friendly vehicles come in all shapes and sizes to match your needs and lifestyle. Here are some options you can consider when choosing a car for your family.
1. For starting families and small households: Compact cars and Sedans
If you’re a household of two to four, compact cars and sedans provide an excellent balance between affordability and functionality. These vehicles are ideal for urban commuting and short drives for weekend getaways while offering excellent fuel efficiency.
In the Philippines, these cars typically cost PhP700,000 to PhP1,000,000. Many brands offer models with hybrid versions, which help families save on fuel costs in the long run.
Despite their smaller size, many modern sedans offer foldable rear seats for added cargo space, entertainment-friendly touchscreens, and essential safety features like anti-lock brakes and electronic stability systems.
2. For growing families: Crossovers and SUVs (6-7 Seaters)
As your family grows, crossovers and midsize SUVs provide the extra space and practicality you need. These vehicles often seat up to seven passengers and come with features like rear parking sensors and hill-start and lane-keeping assistance. Cars like these can comfortably fit your family or group of friends on a road trip with extra space for your stuff. SUVs are also good for adventure seekers who wish to go car camping, especially this coming holiday break.
Priced from PhP800,000 to PhP1,500,000 and up, these vehicles combine comfort and style. Though slightly more expensive, hybrid versions deliver excellent fuel efficiency without compromising power—ideal for traffic-heavy commutes or long drives.
3. For large families: Vans and Full-Size SUVs (8+ Seaters)
Big families or those who frequently carpool will benefit from the spaciousness and flexibility of vans and full-size SUVs. With space for eight or more passengers, these vehicles offer unmatched flexibility for busy households and big families who love to go on trips together.
Prices range from PhP1,100,000 to PhP2,500,000 and up. Vans prioritizes convenience with sliding doors and easy access to the rear rows, great for families with young children and elderly for effortless entry and exit. Meanwhile, full-size SUVs blend power with comfort. Think all-wheel drive for rugged terrains, premium infotainment systems to keep everyone entertained, and advanced safety features like automatic emergency braking.
