Best Family Vans | Rath Auto Resources NWAWhen you have a family, their safety is one of your biggest concerns. Car manufacturers are aware of your needs, and many minivans have been developed over the years that have high-tech safety features designed specifically to protect you and your family. Here are three minivan models that have great safety and driver assistance features that your family will benefit from.

Toyota Sienna

The only minivan with available all-wheel drive, the Toyota Sienna has been ranked highly over the years as a popular favorite among families. The interior is both stylish and comfortable, with three separate climate control zones and a wide dash that includes a color-screen display to make using its advanced features more user-friendly. 

The current model of the Toyota Sienna currently comes standard with eight airbags that are a part of its advanced airbag system. Also included is Toyota’s Star Safety System, which includes a suite of six active safety features. As part of the suite, you will have enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, an anti-lock brake system, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and Smart-Stop Technology. You will also have advanced standard features like standard lane departure alert with steering assist, dynamic radar cruise control, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams.

Kia Sedona

Kia’s award-winning minivan, the Sedona, is another popular favorite among families. Its interior is more than comfortable; it is also functional. The Sedona’s interior cloth was crafted by YES Essentials and repels stains, static, and odors.  Their repel-and-release technology makes clean-up easy, whether it is spilled juice, melted ice cream, or dried mud. It also has three separate climate control zones, helping keep your family comfortable no matter where they are seated.

The Sedona was a 2017 IIHS Top Safety Pick. The current model of the Kia Sedona is equipped with an advanced airbag system with sensors that are able to detect impact levels, as well as the presence of a front-seat passenger. This allows the system to manage airbag inflation, so you aren’t getting more than you need. It also comes with features like electronic stability control, cornering brake control, traction control, and hill-start assist.

Honda Odyssey

The 2018 Honda Odyssey is a Kelley Blue Book Best Buy, and it is easy to see why. With the Odyssey’s current model, you will enjoy a push-button start, a one-touch power moonroof, and over 50 technology features. Combined, this provides the convenience necessary when driving with a family.

You will also be able to take advantage of Honda Sensing, a suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. This suite includes features like the collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and the lane keeping assist system.

Whether your family is still young or you have teenagers, safety is always one of the most important considerations when searching for a new minivan. Consider one of these top three family minivans, and know that they are designed to provide your family with comfort and convenience, in addition to the highest safety standards.
