(June 2, 2015) NEW YORK — Parents magazine and car-buying platform Edmunds.com today revealed their annual 10 Best Family Cars list, a go-to resource for families considering a new car purchase. For the eighth year in a row, car and parenting experts partnered to evaluate hundreds of vehicles, narrowing down the list to the safest, most family-friendly vehicles on the road.

"The car is an extension of home for a family — the place where days are rehashed, on-the-go meals are eaten, and quality time is shared," says Parents Editor-in-Chief Dana Points.

"It's important that parents feel comforted by their car's safety features and performance and are confident on the road. This year's list features a few trusted favorites and first-timers perfect for families looking to get the most out of their car."

The list includes a vehicle for every family, from city-dwellers looking for a zippy compact car to larger, eight-passenger SUVs perfect for soccer practice pickup.

"Every family values different features in a car, but safety always remains number one across the board," said Edmunds.com Editor In Chief, Scott Oldham. "We hope this year's list will help parents find the right car for their family that gives them the features they want and the safety assurance they need."

According to Parents and Edmunds.com, "The 10 Best Family Cars of 2015" (with starting prices) are:
